Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis

Tetsumi Kudo: Garden of Metamorphosis. Walker Art Center, 2008. Soft cover with photographically printed and die-cut fabric cover. 303 pages.

Kudo first gained notoriety in the Tokyo art scene of the late 50s. He immigrated to Paris in 1962, working in a range of media—objects, sculpture, installation, drawing and painting—and presenting numerous Happenings and performances. Kudo's work and activities intersect with French Nouveau Realisme, Fluxus, Pop art, 60s anti-art tendencies, and 80s Postmodernism. A remarkably designed book about a remarkable, though under-studied, artist.
