30 x 25cm. Hardcover in paper-covered boards (no dustjacket, as issued), 111pp. A lavish publication with uncut fore-edges as per the Japanese concertina binding technique. A well-produced catalogue for two exhibitions: 'Shozo Shimamoto' held between March 14th to May 5th 2012, and 'Shimamoto - The Gutai Works' held between Sept…ember 3rd to October 3rd 2015, both at Axel Vervoordt Gallery, Antwerp, Belgium. Includes texts by the artist and Jiro Yoshihara, Axel Vervoordt, etc. Shozo Shimamoto was a founding member of the Gutai movement. He perforated canvases or smashed glass bottles on them, which were filled with paint. He shot paint with cannons on large sheets of vinyl, made sculptures from razors, scratched films, and made violent and destructive installations with light and music for the theatre stage. Shimamoto's so-called "performances of destruction" were mostly executed in the public space. Despite the distinct resemblance between Gutai projects and avant-garde artists such as Lucio Fontana, Gustav Metzger, Yves Klein and Antoni Tapies, Shimamoto's influence on the Western avant-garde has never fully been acknowledged. One corner very slightly bumped, and a suggestion of moisture crinkling to upper edges of a few rear pages. Internally tight.
