Poster, Exhibition of Rokuro Taniuchi at Seibu Department Store
This is a Poster. It was designed by Tadanori Yokoo. It is dated 1981 and we acquired it in 2009. Its medium is screenprint on white wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Rokuro Taniuchi was an acclaimed illustrator known for his child-like, surreal covers for the weekly magazine Shukan Shincho. In this poster for a 1981 exhibition of his work, a fluorescent pink portrait of a smiling, cigarette-holding Taniuchi floats over a blue-yellow ombre background to produce an image that is emblematic of Yokoo’s Pop-Art, exuberant aesthetic.
