Minoru Onoda is recognised as an important figure in the second wave of the Gutai Group. In 1965, after his participation in the 3rd International Exhibition for Young Artists in Paris in 1964, he joined the group as one its youngest members, and remained faithful thereafter to the dictum of the group’s founder, Jiro Yoshihara: “Do what has never been done before”.
Onoda exhibited consistently in Japan throughout his life, rarely travelling abroad. His work has only occasionally been exhibited in the West, and never before as a solo exhibition. This will also be the first time that work from his estate, represented by the Anne Mosseri-Marlio Galerie, will be available for public and private collections to acquire.
