About the ZERO and GUTAI and KUSAMA (from Wikipedia and elsewhere): ******The ZERO and GUTAI art movements were radical, postwar international avant-garde groups that redefined art by prioritizing materials, performance, and the creative process over traditional representation. Both groups rejected prewar conventions, deeply influencing later conceptual and performance art. Yayoi KUSAMA shared their avant-garde visions and took part in many of their exhibitions. GUTAI Art Association (Japan) was founded in 1954 in the Osaka-Kobe region by Jirō Yoshihara, Gutai was an influential collective of Japanese artists known for experimental, action-based works. Artists were instructed to "never imitate others" and to allow the human spirit and raw physical materials to "shake hands" without dominating one another. Famous for interactive, large-scale installations, live performances, and unconventional methods, such as painting with feet or launching paint from cannons. ZERO (Germany) was founded in the late 1950s in Düsseldorf by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene. The ZERO group sought a clean break from the destruction of World War II to create a new, positive beginning for art. Artists embraced light, movement, space, vibration, and monochrome colors (often utilizing pure white, light reflections, and kinetic sculptures). They shifted focus from the artist's personal touch to the autonomous life of light and mechanical movement. KUSAMA (Japan). Yayoi Kusama was not an official member of either the Zero or Gutai movements. However, she shared their avant-garde philosophies, and became an active participant in their European exhibitions during the 1960's.****** From the Bonhams announcement of the show: ****** 20 masterpieces by the GUTAI and ZERO groups from a private collection will be on exhibition at Bonhams from October 11 through October 20, [2015]. These avant-garde masterpieces by will be on view for the first time since the 1960s. It offers an opportunity to reassess these ground breaking art movements, both of which have recently been in the spotlight in exhibitions such as Zero: Countdown to Tomorrow at The Guggenheim, New York. Works by YAYOI KUSAMA, including Macaroni Shirt, Red Dots and Phallic Bottle Tray, will also be on show.****** Final Note: YOU SIMPLY MUST READ YAYOI KUSAMA'S WIKIPEDIA PAGE!!.
