Tokyo 1955-1970: A New Avant-Garde explores the
extraordinary convergence of artists and other creators in Japan''s
capital city during the radically transformative postwar period.
Examining works from a range of media--painting, sculpture,
photography, drawing, printmaking, video and film, as well as
graphic design, architecture, musical composition and dance--this
is the first publication in English to focus in depth on the full
scope of postwar art in Japan. During this period, Tokyo was a
vibrant hub that attracted such critical artistic figures as Taro
Okamoto, Hiroshi Nakamura, Ay-O, Yoko Ono, Mieko Shiomi and Tetsumi
Kudo; photographers Daido Moriyama, Eikoh Hosoe and Shomei Tomatsu;
illustrators and graphic designers Tadanori Yokoo, Kohei Sugiura
and Kiyoshi Awazu; and architects Arata Isozaki and Kisho Kurokawa;
as well as many important artists'' collectives. Curator Doryun
Chong''s essay investigates Tokyo''s sociopolitical context and the
massive urban changes that set the stage for the city to emerge as
a vital node in the international avant-garde network. Essays by
scholars Hayashi Michio and Miryam Sas and curator Mika Yoshitake
discuss critical concepts in art and culture at this time,
including "graphism," which manifested itself across various
mediums; the development of new sculptural languages; and the
"intermedia" tendency that engendered provocative cross-pollination
among artistic genres. Masatoshi Nakajima provides an illustrated
chronology and Yuri Mitsuda supplies artist biographies. Tokyo
1955-1970: A New Avant-Garde brings fresh insight to this dynamic
metropolis during a time of remarkable artistic burgeoning.
