Book Launch Kazuko Miyamoto

From her initial post-minimalist phase to her rediscovery of natural materials and craft practices, from her interest in performance to her exploration of traditional Japanese stylistic features in her later years, this volume investigates the eclectic and free nature of Miyamoto’s work and life and her relations with the New York City artistic and cultural scene from the late 1960s to the present.


Along with the exhibition opening at KW in the fall, the volume complements two monographic exhibitions at the Madre Museum in Naples (2023) and Belvedere 21 in Vienna (2024), curated by Fabbris, contributing to the study of a unique voice on the contemporary art scene.
