This limited-edition catalogue includes a clamshell case with 14 booklets (still sealed) tracing the full range of Nara’s work. It also includes a vinyl LP with original music and covers by American indie rock band Yo La Tengo on side A and songs from the 1960s and 70s selected by the artist on side B. Thirty years after Yoshitomo Nara rocketed to fame with his paintings of sinister figures, the artist has developed hispractice to reflect his unique, empathic eye. This book presents the full range of Nara's work. Along with his most recognizable pieces, such as his ubiquitous portraits of wide-eyed figures on monochromatic backgrounds, readers will discover his earliest paintings, sketched on surfaces ranging from envelopes to cardboard made during his time in Germany, as well as an installation that re-creates his drawing studio. His most recent works are also represented, including his large-scale bronze and ceramic figurines and portraits made following the 2011 earthquake that devastated Japan. Comparing and contrasting these pieces through Nara's distinctive musical lens, the catalogue also features "liner notes" written by the artist about various albums in his personal collection, published in English for the first time. Viewers will see the evolution of a dynamic artist who has become more contemplative with age.
