This book was published in conjunction with the 80s as a starting point exhibition held at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa in 2018. We introduce a number of works that serve as a starting point for reexamining Japanese art in the 1980s from today's perspective. Perhaps in reaction to the conceptual and stoic expressions of the 1970s, revival was advocated in all art scenes in Japan in the 1980s. etc. has spread. However, art from the 1990s onwards has been dominated by expressions such as "otaku" influenced by the subculture of the 80s. For that reason, the art of the 1980s has been rarely referred to. In recent years, research on postwar Japanese art up to the 1970s, such as “Gutai” and “Mono-ha,” has progressed both in Japan and overseas. Now is the time to take a deep look at Japanese art in the 1980s, between the 1970s and 1990s. Now, about 40 years later, when I pick up this work and look back, I can see that the art scene in the 1980s was a time when many important elements of contemporary art were born.
