AUCTION - 2024.02.09

[Highlight] KOJIMA Nobuaki | Untitled | MARCH 2024 Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined

Highlight from the "63rd SBI Art Auction｜Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined" sales on Saturday, March 9, 2024.

Born in Ōno City, Fukui Prefecture, Nobuaki Kojima began exhibiting works that incorporated elements of "Happening" in 1958, predominantly at the Yomiuri Indépendant Exhibition. He engaged with "Anti-art" artists, including Ushio Shinohara. Kojima garnered particular attention for his FRP resin standing sculptures, influenced by "Pop Art." He later moved to the US to advance his artistic career. Having returned to Japan, he continues to be an active figure in the art scene.

This work, Untitled features a standing figure styled as a businessman, shrouded in a red-and-white striped fabric with his face obscured. Crafted from FRP resin, the statue has a rough texture and is coated lacquer. The vivid red, white, and blue hues are striking, yet the concealed face of the man creates a sense of frustration for the observer, as it obscures any insight into his emotions or thoughts. This haunting life-sized sculpture conveys an ineffable sense of loss, serving as a direct commentary on the dehumanization in Japanese society during the Japanese economic miracle. The fabric covering the face bears the Stars and Stripes, symbolizing the States, adding a layer of international political context to the work. Kojima also showcased a red and white curtain at the 14th Yomiuri Indépendant Exhibition in 1962, where he performed a "happening" by standing inside a drum in front of the curtain throughout the day. However, by 1964, the Yomiuri Indépendant, which had been a significant platform for Kojima's work, was discontinued, primarily due to escalating conflicts with the "Anti-art" movement. In the wake of tumultuous artistic upheavals, Kojima's standing sculptures emerge as silent witnesses to the fading echoes of the "Anti-art" era. They are poignant symbols, subtly mirroring Japanese society's stark, unspoken narratives while draping in American pop culture's vibrant yet ironic hues.

* See ASPECTS OF FUKUI CONTEMPORARY ART. Vol. 1: July 20~Augst 12, 1990 Nobuaki Kojima Catalog, ed. Hisanori Gogota, Fukui Fine Arts Museum, 1990, 4-7.

AUCTION - 2024.02.09

[Highlight] Gerhard RICHTER | Strip (3232) (Butin 148) | MARCH 2024 Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined

Highlight from the "63rd SBI Art Auction｜Tokyo Contemporary: Redefined" sales on Saturday, March 9, 2024.

Born in 1932 in Germany, Gerhard Richter is a prominent contemporary artist known for his diverse and innovative artworks. Richter has continually pushed the conceptual and visual boundaries of contemporary painting over the course of six decades, encompassing oil painting, photography, glass panel and digital printing. He has challenged artistic conventions, seamlessly moving between abstraction and representation. Richter's iconic photo paintings, expression using of a squeegee technique, and exploration of digital media reflect his profound impact on the art world.  
This artwork belongs to Richter's Strip series, initiated in 2011 when Richter was 79. It is a digital inkjet print in 11 colors, derived from a detail of the 1990 hand-painted work Abstraktes Bild [CR: 724-4], which was fragmented and mirrored multiple times. There are 72 different stripe patterns are made in the Stripe series and each of the 72 pieces is a unique piece. The digital prints are laminated onto aluminum behind a thin layer of perspex. Richter employs a method of digitally manipulating and rearranging scanned images, resulting in compositions with vibrant and varied color palettes. By vertically dividing the scanned work, mirroring and copying strips, and then horizontally stretching them, he has created several captivating, colorful striped pieces. In the evolution from manual to digital techniques, Richter has brilliantly fused painting with technology, introducing a captivating alliance.

Richter meticulously documents these patterns in his 2011 publication, "Patterns" The book presents a curated selection from the over 4,000 patterns generated by his software-driven process, with some included in his paintings. This showcases Richter's meticulous focus on detail, color, and print quality.

Richter's work has been exhibited globally, earning recognition for its conceptual depth and technical mastery. Richter's enduring influence has solidified his status as one of the most important contemporary artists.
