This is the first book in English to examine Gutai, Japan's
best-known modern art movement, a circle of postwar artists whose
avant-garde paintings, performances, and installations foreshadowed
many key developments in American and European experimental art.
Working with previously unpublished photographs and archival
resources, Ming Tiampo considers Gutai's pioneering transnational
practice, spurred on by mid-century developments in mass media and
travel that made the movement's field of reception and influence
global in scope. Using these lines of transmission to claim a place
for Gutai among modernist art practices while tracing the impact of
Japan on art in Europe and America, Tiampo demonstrates the
fundamental transnationality of modernism. Ultimately, Tiampo
offers a new conceptual model for writing a global history of art,
making Gutai an important and original contribution to modern art
history.
