Published in conjunction with an exhibition at ARTCOURT Gallery in Osaka, this broad survey explores the expression and diverse changes through the career of this central member of the Gutai Art Association. While his Paper-Breaking events were internationally renowned as pioneering examples of performance art, his individuality was embodied in his boldest and most unique methodologies during the 1970s. The book therefore offers a particularly in-depth re-examination of his solo exhibitions and independent work in that period. Numerous paintings, photos, and film stills accompany critical essays, an interview by Kozu Yoshinori, and texts by Saburo himself.
