Tanaka, Atsuko

Tanaka, Atsuko
▪ 2006

      Japanese artist (b. Feb. 10, 1932, Osaka, Japan—d. Dec. 3, 2005, near Nara, Japan), was a leading avante-garde artist, best known for her experimental works of the 1950s and '60s. Tanaka was an early member of Gutai, a radical group of Osaka-based artists founded in 1954. Many of Tanaka's works involved electric light, the most famous of which, Electric Dress (1956), was made entirely of coloured light bulbs, cords, and fluorescent tubes that she wore as a dress during performances. She held her first solo exhibition in Osaka in 1963. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City featured some of Tanaka's works in a 1966 exhibition entitled “The New Japanese Painting and Sculpture.” In later years she focused primarily on abstract paintings and drawings. Several retrospectives devoted to the work of Tanaka were held in Japan and the U.S. in the early 21st century.
