Miné Okubo's Eyes: A Life in Colors

Miné Okubo’s Eyes: A Life in Colors is a new retrospective of the artist’s work and includes more than fifty paintings and works on paper. This exhibition displays Okubo’s body of work which spanned seven decades and makes visible a collection of paintings and drawings never seen by the public.

Okubo, a College alum, bequeathed her works to Riverside City College upon her death in 2001. The Center for Social Justice & Civil Liberties houses the Okubo collection which includes more than 8,000 pieces of artwork, professional and personal papers, photographic materials, and memorabilia. The bulk of the collection stems from Okubo’s last five decades of work. The majority of these pieces was created in her small one-bedroom apartment in the Greenwich Village area of New York City.
