Tadanori Yokoo is one of Japan's most prolific and internationally recognised graphic designers and artists, whose body of work also includes illustration, printmaking, painting and collage. The pages of this book are filled with almost 100 clipped and pasted compositions spanning 40 years of work, many of them recent and new pieces. As described by Hideo Namba in the accompanying critical essay, “Yokoo’s art is the act of freely creating a work on the basis of intuition and (human) instinct.” Striking a strangely convincing balance between the natural and unnatural, his juxtapositions and commentary of popular culture pose solutions to contradictory themes.
