Description
Gutai Decentering Modernism by Ming Tiampo offers a fresh perspective on Japan's influential modern art movement. This groundbreaking study explores the avant-garde paintings, performances, and installations that foreshadowed key developments in American and European experimental art. Working with previously unpublished photographs and archival resources, Tiampo examines Gutai's pioneering transnational practice, tracing its impact on art in Europe and America. By considering the global scope of the movement's reception and influence, Tiampo demonstrates a new conceptual model for writing a global history of art. This book is an important contribution to modern art history, providing a nuanced understanding of Gutai's place within the broader context of modernist art practices.
