TKG Daikanyama Gallery

For serious art lovers/buyers on the lookout for galleries during a stop in Tokyo, chances are you'll have had the Tomio Koyama Gallery recommended to you. This fall saw the opening of an extension to the famous gallery, this time in the city's stylish Daikanyama district and featuring an interior design by renowned architect Ryue Nishizawa (one half of SANAA, whose latest project is the recently opened New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York). TKG Daikanyama (29-18-A1 Sarugakucho, 03-3780-2150) is currently showing a collection of works from a diverse group (Damien Hirst, Dennis Hollingworth, Mika Ninagawa and Peter Wu), and even though both galleries include small shops, make sure to check out the TKG Editions gallery shop in Ginza (Ginza Casa 1F, 1-22-13 Ginza, 03-5250-1561) for a rather nice assortment of goods from artists that have shown at the two galleries.
