Teruko Yokoi Tokyo – New York – Paris – Bern

31.01.2020 – 10.05.2020

The Kunstmuseum Bern is showing the first exhibition of the central early phase of Teruko Yokoi’s (b. 1924) work in the 1950s and 1960s. The works from that time bear witness to an agitated era: they were made on three continents somewhere between western abstraction and Japanese tradition, as well as the everpresent horrors of the Second World War. They show the artist in a phase of extreme creativity. The Japanese artist Teruko Yoko has lived and worked in Bern for over five decades.
