The definitive book on the life and career of internationally acclaimed artist Yoshitomo Nara

Yoshitomo Nara rose to prominence in the mid-1990s, a star in a generation of avant-garde Japanese artists associated with the neo-Pop 'Superflat' movement. This book, made in close collaboration with Nara himself, explores more than three decades of his work - and is the first truly authoritative monograph on the artist in more than a decade.

Written by art historian Yeewan Koon and featuring texts by Nara himself, it includes his most recent work in painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics.

About the Author

Yeewan Koon is associate professor in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Hong Kong, teaching Chinese and Japanese art history. In 2018 she was selected to curate the Gwangju Biennale in South Korea.
Industry Reviews

"Though he is now best-known for his complicated kawaii girls, the monograph also gives a detailed account of Mr Nara's other artistic ventures. An astonishing assemblage of sculptures, sketches, installations, ceramics, collaborations and photography, its pages reveal Mr Nara's extraordinary range and prolific output."-Mr Porter

"This monograph, published to coincide with a major solo exhibition at LACMA charts his first influences as a child growing up in an isolated northern town, to the development of his distinct "big-headed girls", and a new politically charged direction, following the 2011 earthquake and nuclear disaster that affected his home region."-Elephant magazine
