Special Feature: TATEHATA Kakuzo

Kakuzo Tatehata (1919-2006) is considered one of the leading abstract sculptors of post-war Japan. Son of the renowned sculptor Taimu Tatehata (1880-1942), he won the Special Prize at the Bunten exhibition (the annual art exhibition sponsored by the Ministry of Education) while studying at the Tokyo Fine Arts School (now Tokyo University of the Arts), receiving acclaim for his traditional sculptures of the human form.

After the war, Tatehata took part in the establishment of the Shinseikai Association and the Action Art Association. During his time in France, he was exposed to modern movements that led him to take an interest in the theory behind abstract sculpture as well as its form of expression. This exhibition introduces 10 pieces from the representative “ORGAN” series as well as the “CLOUD” and “WAVING FIGURE” series along with other accompanying materials and drawings.
