Tetsumi Kudo's room-size installation titled Philosophy of Impotence, a culmination of his early radical performances and installations, stunned the Tokyo art world in 1962 and came to be known as one of the most iconic works in postwar Japanese art history. Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis, the late artist's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, premieres at the Walker Art Center on October 18, 2008.
Organized by Walker visual arts curator Doryun Chong, in close collaboration with the artist's estate, the retrospective exhibition features more than 100 works of diverse media—objects, sculpture, installation, drawing, and painting—covering the entire trajectory of Kudo's productive career, from the late 1950s through the 1980s, drawn from important collections in Japan, Europe, and the United States. Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis introduces the artist and his singular body of work to American audiences.
