Yokoo by Yokoo: The Pleasure of Drawing - The Journey and Rebirth of Images is a collection of works by Japan's leading designer and illustrator Tadanori Yokoo (1936-). This book is the catalogue of an exhibition held at the Kyoto Museum of Modern Art in 2003, and compiles a number of his works, from his vivid graphic works (posters) from the 1960s to his work depicting a Y-shaped intersection from 2000, grouping together those with high similarities. The following is from the book: "I find a few core images among the vast number of works he produced in the past, and trace the chain of images as I wander through the works, as if I were wandering through a picture book. In addition, the exhibition will include 27 new works that the artist himself created by drawing new inspiration from these images. This exhibition, which consists of a total of 214 works, is an exhibition where we can directly enjoy the unrestrained world of Tadanori Yokoo's work, and at the same time, it is presented as a process in which the artist himself reinterprets his own work from the perspective of the present and discovers new meaning in his own work."
