This is the official catalogue for the career-spanning retrospective exhibition of Japanese pop artist Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024), held at the National Art Center, Tokyo. His brain-melting, protean oeuvre spans not only fine art but also illustration, graphic design, and video. Fuelled by psychedelic forms, comic books, electric colours, and Hollywood films, the decidedly reactionary practice he developed since the 1960s has since led to worldwide acclaim. A self-described “image director”, Tanaami was also inspired by Any Warhol’s multidisciplinary approach and became fascinated with the potential of printed matter as an artistic medium capable of duplication and proliferation.
