Minami Gallery, the gallery which supported post war modern art in Japan along with Tokyo Gallery, was established by Kusuo SHIMIZU in June 1956. It's first exhibition was "Tetsuro Komai Copperplate Print Solo Exhibition". It closed it's 23 years history in November of 1979, after the death of SHIMIZU earlier in March. Out of 199 exhibitions held at Minami Gallery between 1956 to 1979, we are presenting 40 catalogues including the legendary "Jean Fautrier Exhibition" and other exhibitions such as "Young Seven Exhibition", "Natsuyuki Nakanishi Exhibition" and "Sam Francis Exhibition". Works by Ay-O, Toshinobu ONOSATO, Tesuro KOMAI, Kumi SUGAI, Shizu SHIMADA, Katsuhiro YAMAGUCHI, Takeo YAMAGUCHI, Tatsuoki NAMBATA and Mitsuo KANO, who were with Minami Gallery will be on display. We are also exhibiting "To and From Rrose Selavy" by Shuzo TAKIGUCHI (Marcel DUCHAMP, Shusaku ARAKAWA, Jasper Johns, Jean Tinguely). It is type A edition and is in very good condition. Publication ceremonial exhibition for it was held at Minami Gallery in October of 1968.
