NUKAGA GALLERYは、アートフェア東京2022に出展いたします。
弊廊ではこれまで戦後女性アーティストの再評価を積極的に行ってまいりました。その一環として、本フェアでは同時代にそれぞれのユニークな表現を展開した芥川(間所)紗織と荒木高子、二人のアーティストの作品をご紹介いたします。
芥川は1924年に愛知県で生まれ、大学で声楽を学びますが作曲家との家父長的な結婚生活の中で、自分を語る手段として1950年頃にほぼ独学で染色や油彩を始め、「女」や「神話」シリーズなど大胆でユニークな表現が注目を集めました。渡米し帰国後は主に油彩による抽象画を制作し、新たな展開が期待される中、残念ながらわずか42歳で早世。近年では横須賀美術館での大規模回顧展やニューヨーク近代美術館での展覧会への出品もあり、非常に注目の高まるアーティストです。
荒木は1921年兵庫県に華道未生流宗家の次女として生まれますが、伝統的な華道の世界に飽き足らず、芥川と同じく1950年代からガラス・オブジェや絵画の制作を始めました。1961年に渡米、帰国後は陶芸の道へと進み、1978年頃から陶にシルクスクリーンを施した「聖書」シリーズを制作。人間と宗教という大きなテーマを感じさせる荒木の作品は国内外で注目を集め、ニューヨークのメトロポリタン美術館にも作品が所蔵されています。
オリジナルな表現言語を持ちながら、留学により当時最先端であったニューヨークの芸術に触れたことで、さらに新たな表現を展開していった芥川と荒木。今回は芥川が渡米後に取り組んだ抽象の油彩数点と、荒木が生涯制作した「聖書」シリーズを中心にご紹介いたします。二人のアーティストを通して日本の戦後美術の多様性をぜひご高覧ください。
ブースS021で皆様のお越しをお待ちしております。

NUKAGA GALLERY is pleased to announce our participation in Art Fair Tokyo 2022.
The gallery has been actively reevaluating post-war female artists. As a part of this, we will introduce the works of two artists, Saori Akutagawa (Madokoro) and Takako Araki, who developed their own unique expressions in the same period.
Akutagawa, born in Aichi Prefecture in 1924, studied vocal music at the university. However, whilst experiencing a life of a patriarchal marriage to a composer, she began dyeing and painting mostly on her own in around 1950 as a means of expressing herself. She painted series of “Woman” and “Myths” which caught people’s eye for their bold and unique expression. After returning from the U.S., she mainly produced abstract oil paintings, and while new developments were expected, she unfortunately passed away at the age of only 42. In recent years, she is now spotlighted as an important artist and her works have been featured in a large-scale retrospective exhibition at the Yokosuka Museum of Art as well as an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Araki, born in Hyogo Prefecture in 1921, was the second daughter of the head of the Misho school of ikebana, but was not satisfied with its traditional world. Like Akutagawa, she then began creating glass objects and paintings in the 1950s. She flew to the U.S. in 1961 and after returning to Japan, she started her carrier as a ceramic artist. From 1971 she created the “Bible” series of silkscreened ceramics. Araki’s works, which evoke the major themes of human beings and religion, have attracted attention both in Japan and abroad. Her works are also in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Whilst having their original ways of expression, both Akutagawa and Araki were able to expand their art through their experiences at New York, the city of cutting-edge art scene of its time. In our exhibition, we will be focusing on Akutagawa’s abstract oil paintings after her move to the U.S. and Araki’s “Bible” series, which she worked on throughout her life. Through the eyes of these two artists, we hope you will come and see the diversity of post-war art in Japan.
We look forward to seeing you at booth S021.
