The Gutai Art Association (commonly known as Gutai) was formed in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture in 1954, before later establishing its base of operations in Osaka’s Nakanoshima district. Led by the painter Jiro Yoshihara (1905-1972), the collective’s artists, both male and female, set out to express themselves freely without being confined by existing precedents. While Gutai was a unified group, it was unique in that the artists made use of a host of different approaches. Presented in conjunction with the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, this exhibition, dealing with the themes of differentiation and integration, examines the 18-year history of Gutai, which has at last attained international renown, and the artists’ individual practices from a wide range of perspectives.
The exhibition will be held at two venues: The National Museum of Art, Osaka and the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka.
As the admission fees, hours, and closing days differ slightly between the two venues, we kindly ask that you check the museum websites for more information. For more details on the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, click here
