Acquisition Almine Rech

Almine Rech announced that Keita Morimoto's painting Last Call from 2025 has entered the collection of the Peabody Essex Museum. The work is executed in acrylic and oil on linen and measures 116.7 x 91 x 2.8 cm. It is now part of the museum's holdings in Salem, Massachusetts.

The Signal

The placement of a 2025 canvas in a major US museum collection indicates rising institutional demand for Morimoto's output. Collectors may view the acquisition as validation of recent production entering established American holdings through Almine Rech's program.
