This book is a definitive collection summarizing the 60-year creative journey of Keiichi Tanaami, whose global recognition continues to rise.
Centered on approximately 600 images spanning from his early works to his latest creations, it offers a comprehensive exploration through abundant rare materials and multifaceted analysis.
In 1975, Tanaami became the first art director for the Japanese edition of the monthly magazine “PLAYBOY”, drawing attention with his innovative graphic design. Under his unique concept that “printed matter is not a reproduction but countless original works,” he expanded his expressions across various media, including painting, silkscreen, collage, animation, experimental film, objects, and installations. Since 2000, his passion for expression has remained undiminished at 88 years old, evident in collaborations with fashion brands and musicians, 700 Picasso reproductions created during the pandemic, and interactions with the works of the late Fujio Akatsuka.
