Thanks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1973 to document a historic solo exhibition of New York School abstraction, this exceptionally rare, staple-bound softcover catalogue titled “Kenzo Okada: Paintings” represents a vital historical record of mid-century American and Japanese avant-garde art. Issued directly by the legendary Betty Parsons Gallery—the historic 24 West 57th Street Manhattan powerhouse that famously launched the careers of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman—this catalog commemorates Okada's landmark seasonal run from March 6 to March 31, 1973. The volume is bound in its original, minimalist emerald-green matte card wrappers featuring the artist’s distinctive signature silk-screened in crisp white script across the front panel. Spanning an elegant square footprint, the internal layout functions as a beautifully curated exhibition index, showcasing Okada's revolutionary \"Yūgenism\" style which seamlessly fused Western Abstract Expressionism with traditional, subtle Japanese sensibilities. The crisp interior pages feature magnificent full-color and high-contrast monochrome art plates documenting iconic large-scale oil canvases, including Autumn, Morning Glory, A Stream, Pink, and Shelter. Concluding with a definitive checklist outlining the physical dimensions for all 15 masterworks on display, this beautifully preserved gallery prospectus remains an essential, highly collectible resource for museums, provenance researchers, and serious collectors of post-war Abstract Expressionist ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e♦️$9.50 flat rate shipping to all of the United States (Combined, international, and freight shipping as well as local pickup available upon request!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smokin' Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49859250454683,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4310\/5179\/files\/EA894392-DD09-41BE-A84D-8EBE36C1E3F3.jpg?v=1792454239","url":"https:\/\/www.smokinfinds.com\/products\/vintage-1973-kenzo-okada-paintings-art-exhibition-catalog-softcover-book","provider":"Smokin' Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
