"Gutai 1, 2, 3," held by the Ashiya City Museum of Art and History in 1994, is a three-part series that examines the history of the Gutai Art Association, founded in 1954 by Jiro Yoshihara, providing a three-dimensional look at the germination and development of postwar Japanese avant-garde expression. The first volume vividly reconstructs early outdoor experiments, performances, and physical practices, while the middle period explores diverse endeavors toward painting and sculpture, and the latter period focuses on mature expressions expanding into spatial and environmental concepts. Each volume contains period documents and photographs, detailed exhibit catalogs, and curatorial essays, carefully organizing the evolution of the group's activities along with a chronology. The three volumes offer a comprehensive look at Gutai's 18 years, highlighting not only representative works but also marginal artists and often-forgotten movements. Alongside the museum's collection, "Document Gutai," these three catalogs serve as a foundational reference for research and sales.
