Born in 1967, Tokujin Yoshioka is an extremely influential, world-class creator who has received great acclaim for his use of unrestrained concepts and experimentation to produce works in a wide range of fields, including design, art and architecture. This book features Yoshioka’s best-known works, including his “Crystallized Project” – which never fails to arouse people’s sensibilities with its application of natural principles and random beauty – and also new and never-before-shown series, an archive of important earlier works such as Honey-Pop and Waterblock, as well as critical surveys of his work. An in-depth exploration of the remarkable allure of this unique artist, this publication is being arranged in conjunction with a large-scale solo exhibition to be held at Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.
