Yukihisa Isobe Exhibition

Isobe, Yukihisa [illustrated by].

Tōkyō: Tokyo Gallery, 1964.

A catalogue from an exhibition of works by Yukihisa Isobe (1935-) held in Tokyo in April of 1964. The card folder features four panels (three on the recto, one on the verso) that open to reveal scenes on loosely inserted cards. The cards can be removed from the outer folder and switched over and around so different scenes can be revealed by the folding panels. One of the cards features a short essay by the artist in Japanese and English; the other three have photographic illustrations on both sides. At the exhibition, Isobe presented his geta-bako (shoe cabinet) series, inviting exhibitiongoers to open the doors of the small cubbies on display. Several of the illustrations also referenced his slightly earlier wappen (coat of arms) series. Isobe, an acquaintance of Ei-Q (1911-1960) and a member of his Demokrato artists association, has been linked with abstractionism, pop art, and ethical ecology. The Isobe Yukihisa Memorial Echigo-Tsumari Kiyotsu Soko Museum of Art was opened in 2015.

One card folder housing four loosely inserted leaves, presumed complete. Minor discolouration and a few light marks and creases to folder and leaves. Small bump to upper right corner. Housed in original brown paper envelope. [4] leaves. 23.8 x 23.8 cm.
