Paperback, colour and black and white illustrations, 222 pages, W230mm x H295
This is the
most comprehensive survey to date of work by Atsuko Tanaka, striking an
unprecedented balance between all aspects of her practice. Ranging from her
earliest gestures, including documentation of Gutai performances in the 1950s,
to paintings made shortly before her death in 2005.
Through variety it conveys
a remarkable consistency of vision, connecting art and everyday life as we know
it. It articulates an artistic proposition that makes Tanaka one of the most
important figures of the Japanese post-war avant-garde.
