Kimiyo Mishima -Memories for the Future

About the productJapanese

A culmination of contemporary artist Kimiyo Mishima's creative work spanning more than 70 years!

Kimiyo Mishima (1932-), who began her career as a contemporary artist in the 1950s, has amazed viewers with her numerous masterpieces over her more than 70 years of creative activity, including ceramic objects of "breakable printed matter," works using empty cans and cardboard as the subject matter, and works using scrap iron and waste materials that she collected herself. This book is a collection of Mishima Kimiyo's work that introduces her creative journey from her early days to the present day with approximately 90 pieces of work. These works, which combine Mishima's unique playfulness with a critical gaze on the negative aspects of modern society, such as the proliferation of information, mass consumption, and the garbage problem, will be powerfully received as works that include more immediate and pressing social issues today.

◆She is attracting increasing attention both from within Japan and overseas, through her public art on Naoshima Island in the Seto Inland Sea and the Mori Art Museum's "Another Energy: The Power to Continuing to Challenge - 16 Female Artists from Around the World" (2021-22) exhibition!
