This book is the fifth issue (total of 102) of "Art RANDOM," a series published by Kyoto Shoin in the 1990s as an attempt to comprehensively express the energy and achievements of contemporary art in the 1980s, by gathering together already famous and unknown but talented artists who are all active at the forefront. It is a full-color, hardcover, minimal text, and low-priced series. It features "Vincent Gallo." The editor of this issue is Kyoichi Tsuzuki. He is a journalist, a famous editor, and an artist who has left behind many famous works as a photographer, including "Tokyo Style." This book was published in 1989, and Tsuzuki directed, wrote, starred, composed music, and created art for the autobiographical film "Buffalo '66," which was released in 1998 and brought him into the spotlight, so Tsuzuki must have been appreciating Gallo's talent for quite some time. Of course, Gallo had been active as a musician and painter since the 1980s, and had connections with Basquiat and others, but this book also takes my hat off to Tsuzuki's multifaceted aesthetic sense.
