Yoshitomo Nara, Mika Yoshitake, Michael Govan, 2021, Los Angeles County Museum of Art
Yoshitomo Nara is among the most beloved Japanese artists of his generation. His widely recognisable portraits of menacing figures reflect the artist’s raw encounters with his inner self.
Spanning 35 years (1985-2020), this book features paintings, drawings, sculpture, ceramic figures, an installation that re-creates his drawing studio, and never-before-exhibited idea sketches that reflect the artist’s empathic eye, shining a light on Nara’s conceptual process.
Nara’s oeuvre takes inspiration from a wide range of resources – memories of his childhood, music, literature, studying and living in Germany, exploring his roots in Japan, Sakhalin and Asia, and modern art from Europe and Japan. This book accompanies the major career retrospective organised by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and presents the full range of Nara's work.
