Kimiko Powers began collecting Japanese art in 1960. Her collection started with the purchase of a unique pair of six-panel landscape screens by Kusumi Morikage and a hanging scroll titled Courtesan Blowing Soap Bubbles by Shiba K. Along with her husband John Powers, she became known in international art circles for her insightful and comprehensive collection of Contemporary Art. In their many years of collecting, the Powers attained an impressive collection of Pop Art, which in many ways is the result of the friendships they formed with famous artists such as Warhol. This portrait of Kimiko (Powers) by Andy Warhol (Pennsylvania, 1928 - New York, 1987) is an example of the strong bond formed between collector/subject and artist.
