Takesada Matsutani, the Ōsaka-born artist who has lived and worked in Paris for the past 60 years, has developed a unique visual language of form and material over five decades, and at the age of 87 still maintains an energetic daily studio practice. This exhibition, organised with Olivier Renaud-Clement, features a selection of new works in direct response to the space, a highlight of which includes a major site-specific window installation, alongside rare historic pieces by the artist from his time in the Gutai group, showcasing the breadth of his career and development of his masterful artistic practice. This show follows on from the artist's first major retrospective in France at the Centre Pompidou in 2019 and is in anticipation of Matsutani's solo exhibition at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery from 3 October – 17 December 2024.
