Smile Yoshitomo Nara :) - 04-01-2011, 02:52 AM

I'm a fan of Yoshitomo Nara. When I was based in New York last year I randomly bought a postcard book at The Strand with his paintings and then I learned he was a japanese artist. It got me quite interested about japanese contemporary art.

I am going to Tokyo this month and was wondering if anyone knows of a place dedicated to him or if he has any galleries and stuff. It's be nice to put in my itinerary as I am just gonna randomly explore too. My only aim is to see cherry blossoms, get colorful shots on my lumix and see more art actually.


Thanks in advance!

The one-man show just ended on March 21.
It is a stricken area though there is a possibility to be able to see if it is a museum in his birthplace.

Here is a consolation plan! Go to A to Z cafe in Aoyama. You may get to sit at one of these tables.

Nara was withdrawn from the project of A to z.
However, some works keep remaining in the shop and it doing business.
It can do nothing but visit an art museum to see a lot of works because he doesn't have the gallery.
Whether the work is established permanently is not understood.
I think that you should inquire in mail when going to see.
