"POP IN" Postwar Japanese Art
Under a long review of our interest in Japanese postwar pop art, Aki Gallery is proud to present “POP IN post-war Japanese Art” in April. The exhibition gathered six Japan’s vanguard pop artists, including Kei Hiraga, Kuniyoshi Kaneko, Hiroshi Nakamura, Hajime Sorayama, Keiichi Tanaami and Tadanori Yokoo. Each of the artists has shown their appearance in major art museums and gained their reputation in pioneering the new fashion in Japan’s art world.
Emerging in the mid-1950s in Britain and late 1950s in the United States, pop art reached its peak in the 1960s throughout the world. It penetrated into the mundane life of every citizen, as well as every art movement scattered around the world. Pop art becomes a crucial turning point for young artists as they revolt against the dominant approaches to art and culture and traditional views on what art should be.
Aki Gallery serves in bridging with the international art scene, following up with Gutai- Our Spirit is Free (2017), Gutai and Further (2018), Susumu Koshimizu’s Solo Exhibition (2019), and Mono-Ha the Art of Nothingness (2019), we are excited to present “Pop IN Post-war Japanese Art”.
