Surveys the fifty-year career of the avant-garde artist Ushio Shinohara.

Lead curator Hiroko Ikegami is Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Intercultural Studies at Kobe University. An art historian who specializes in American art and the postwar globalization of the art world, she has authored The Great Migrator: Robert Rauschenberg and the Global Rise of American Art. She has collaborated in organizing this exhibition with Reiko Tomii, a New York-based independent scholar who investigates post-1945 Japanese art in global and local contexts. Tomii's extensive publications include her contributions to Globalization and Contemporary Art and Xu Bing. Together they have brought their art historical and curatorial insights to the work of Shinohara, who has been underappreciated in his adopted home of New York.
