Artist: TADANORI YOKOO (1936- ) Size: 29 1/4 x 41 5/8 in./74.3 x 105.7 cm An early, award-winning work by the artist, this poster's English title is Osen in Petticoats, and references the inaugural performance of the 1960s performance troupe Jokyo Gekijo. Part of the counterculture movement, this troupe challenged traditional Japanese theatre, while also acting as a mouthpiece of protest toward larger issues. "It followed that any poster for a performance by the 'Jokyo Gekijo' also had to take the form of visual agitation, [and] the posters Yokoo created ... [reflect these] intentions exactly" (Yokoo p. 8). Hand-signed silkscreen.
