TADANORI YOKOO (1936 - ) [EARTH WIND AND FIRE.] 1976.
39 1/2x28 1/2 inches, 100x73 cm.
Condition A. Paper.
Yokoo initiated an artistic revolution in Japan, introducing pop art into Japanese graphics. He developed his trademark, extravagant, collage style in the 1960s, which mixed together traditional Japanese graphics, Christian and Buddhist imagery, famous works of Western art, images of movie stars and all sorts of vernacular documents. Here his image promotes an album distributed by CBS Records. Yokoo p. 302.
