Lee Ufan "From Line 3" (1977) lithograph, Ed.50, 40×54cm

This event has ended.

From the late 1960s to the beginning of the 1970s a group of artists working in Japan became referred to as “Mono-ha,” loosely translated as “The School of Things”. At the center of this “school” was a relatively small but diverse group of artists exploring the interdependent relationships between “things”, often natural, and the space, environments and actions around them. Two of the leading artists of Mono-ha are Lee Ufan and Kishio Suga.
Always an important and influential movement within Japan, in recent years, Mono-ha has been the subject of great interest and focus outside of Japan also. Despite it’s reawakened interest, you might feel that the philosophy and principles of Mono-ha are still difficult to understand. For this very reason, Tezukayama Gallery have decided to focus on this movement and will exhibit several works from Mono-ha’s active artists, Lee Ufan and Kishio Suga. Exhibited are one of Lee Ufan’s most important series “From Point From Line”, a set of 8 lithograph prints from 1977, along with a selection of his oil paintings and drawings. In addition, 10 rare woodcut prints from Kishio Suga, which are an edition of 10, are on show.
An opportunity to view work from leading Mono-ha artists, and gain an understanding of the philosophy of Mono-ha.
