This bilingual catalogue accompanies a sixty year retrospective of Japanese artist Takesada Matsutani. This first major French retrospective traces his both rich and singular development and highlights twenty-two donated works dating from the late 1950s to the present day. The exhibition also pays unprecedented tribute to Matsutani’s original artistic adventure; constantly experimenting with organic matter and its links to the spiritual, he has never ceased to seek out his "internal image".

240-page catalogue with texts by Valérie Douniaux, Christine Macel, Yves Peyré, and Toshio Yamanashi; Hardcover, 9 × 12"; Typeface: Lyon (Commercial Type); Papers: Profibulk 1.1, Sirio Color Perla
