About this Item

[8] p. The catalogue documents Rainer's first solo exhibition in Asia, which took place in the spring of 1962 at the legendary Minami Gallery in Tokyo. The Minami Gallery was the spearhead for introducing Western avant-garde art to postwar Japan. The immense art-historical significance of this exhibition is underscored by the fact that two of the most leading minds in international art criticism contributed texts to this catalogue: the French co-founder of Nouveau Réalisme, Pierre Restany, and the most influential Japanese avant-garde critic, Yoshiaki Tono. In terms of content, the exhibition centered on Rainers radical, minimalist black overpaintings and early texture works, which struck a deep, resonant chord in early 1960s Japan. As a highly rare document of early intercontinental art exchange, this catalogue is a premier collector's item for international archives and sophisticated collectors of Rainer monographs. Some wear to cover, occassionally creased. ja Gewicht in Gramm: 53.
