This article, the November 2026 issue of "Art Teller Tony's Must-See Exhibitions This Month!!", presents the top 3 "spin-off art exhibitions" that focus on artists who have traditionally played supporting roles rather than being the main attraction. The first pick is the "Albert Marquet Exhibition" at SOMPO Museum of Art in Tokyo, the first full-scale retrospective in Japan in 35 years for Marquet, known as a close friend of Matisse. The second is "Fontanesi: Italian Light and Landscapes of the Heart" at Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, commemorating the 160th anniversary of Japan-Italy diplomatic relations. This is Japan's first exhibition to fully explore Antonio Fontanesi, the Italian painter who taught at the Kobu Art School during the Meiji era and mentored artists such as Chū Asai and Shōtarō Koyama. The third is "Yoshida Shōya's Design: The Future Envisioned by the New Mingei Movement" at Panasonic Shiodome Museum of Art, the first and largest exhibition in Tokyo dedicated to Yoshida Shōya, an early member of the Mingei movement known as the "Mother of Mingei."
