2012.36.48, Kiyoji Ōtsuji, Gutai Photographs


GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
Kiyoji Ōtsuji photographed many of the ephemeral, performative activities of members of the Gutai Art Association. Some important happenings captured by Ōtsuji include Atsuko Tanaka’s Electric Dress; Murakami Saburō’s passing through sheets of paper; Sadamasa Motonaga’s Smoke performance; as well as Kazuo Shiraga’s foot painting. Documenting pioneers in the realm of performance art, this suite of photographs remains an important record of a crucial moment in postwar Japanese art.
