Takesada Matsutani

Town

Takesada Matsutani's original mixed method intaglio and serigraph, Town is printed upon hand-made 'BFK Rives' paper and with full deckled margins as published in the limited edition of only thirty impressions in 1969. It is signed, dated, titled and numbered by the artist in pencil in both English and Japanese. Also bearing a studio blindstamp (probably that of Atelier 17) to the lower left. Juxtaposing black and white with vibrant color and etching with silkscreening, Town is really two prints joined to form one compelling image. It is a fine, original example of the early abstract art created by the contemporary Japanese artist, Takesada Matsutani.

Artist:	Matsutani, Takesada (Osaka, Japan, 1937 - Resides, Paris, France)
Date:	1969
Medium:	Original Mixed Method Intaglio and Serigraph
Note:	Takesada Matsutani: A contemporary Japanese painter, sculptor and printmaker, Takesada Matsutani has been exhibiting his abstract art in major exhibitions in Europe, America and Japan since the mid 1960's. He received his first instructions in art in Tokyo before moving to Paris in 1966 to continue his education. Takesada Matsutani became Stanley Hayter's assistant at Paris's Atelier 17, in 1969. For the following six years he filled this post and thus Town was no doubt created and printed at this famous studio.
	Since his association with Atelier 17, Takesada Matsutani has exhibited his art throughout the world. Some of the most important printmaking exhibitions his art has been featured in include the 1986 exhibition at the Musee de Louvain-la-Neuve, France (along with Chillida, Tapies, Miro and others) and the 1987 showing at the Galerie Eugen Lendl, in Graz. As well, a Matsutani lithograph was awarded a Bronze Prize at the Osaka Triennale in 1990.
	Since 1979, Takesada Matsutani has also devoted his talents to the construction of installations. The Japanese Government has awarded him the title of 'Kumi Sugai', which is given to the leading Japanese artist living and working in France.
	Many galleries around the world now include Takesada Matsutani's original art in their permanent collections. Some of these are the Davison Art Center, Wesleyan University, the Museum of Art, Lodz, the Museum of Contemporary Arts, Helsinki, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
