Curated by Hiroko Ikegami and Reiko Tomii, this exhibition examines the 50-year career of
Ushio Shinohara, an indispensable player in the field of global contemporary
history. Born in Japan in 1932, Shinohara was was an enfant terrible of the
Tokyo avant-garde art scene in the late 1950s with his “action art.” During the 1960s, he went on
to invent such signature series as Boxing
Painting, Imitation Art, and Oiran. After his move to New York in
1969, he continued with his versatile image-making endeavor, with Motorcycle Sculpture and drawings of
street scenes, among other series. The exhibition consists of some seventy
paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and a video documentary of the artist’s
life.
On view are some 70 paintings, sculptures, works on papers, documents, and a documentary film.
