MIYAKO YOSHINAGA Information

M.Y. ART PROSPECTS is a contemporary art gallery established in 1999 in New York City. Since our inception, we have supported and promoted a diverse group of emerging and mid-career artists. Our focus is on compelling visions and unlimited sensitivities. We strive to exhibit works that reflect, stimulate, and/or challenge our cultural, social, and individual values. Under the direction of former book editor and museum researcher, Miyako Yoshinaga, the gallery represents up-and-coming international artists working in painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, video, and other media. Recently, we added an online project offering rare and collectible photo and art books, catalogues, and limited editions. Our catalogue features a special emphasis on books by and about contemporary Japanese photographers, some of whose original prints are also available through our gallery.
