Antonio Yera

This vibrant and large-scale silkscreen print is a work from the celebrated series Rainbow Passes Slowly, created in 1971 — one of Ay-O's most iconic and sought-after print series. The composition depicts two intertwined, abstracted human figures rendered entirely in the artist's signature rainbow palette: sweeping bands of crimson, scarlet, teal, cobalt blue, gold, and deep burgundy flow organically across the sheet, dissolving the boundary between figuration and abstraction. The title of this specific work is Couple (カップル), and the intimate, undulating forms of two bodies melting into one another are simultaneously sensual and dreamlike.
Inspired by Bob Dylan's song Time Passes Slowly, the Rainbow Passes Slowly series represents a pivotal moment in Ay-O's career, when his rainbow language — developed through meticulous, labor-intensive silkscreen printing — reached full expressive maturity. The work is hand-signed in pencil by the artist in the lower left margin, dated '71, and numbered 48/55, confirming this as a rare limited edition of only 55 impressions.
Works from this series are held in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, Washington D.C., underscoring their historical and institutional significance. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality work from one of Japan's most internationally celebrated postwar avant-garde artists.

Artist Profile
靉嘔 Ay-O (1931– ) — born Takao Iijima on May 19, 1931, in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan — is one of the most internationally recognized Japanese avant-garde artists of the postwar era, widely celebrated as the "Rainbow Artist." After graduating from Tokyo University of Education, he moved to New York in 1958 and became a core member of Fluxus, the influential international avant-garde collective founded by George Maciunas, working alongside Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, and Emmett Williams. His celebrated Finger Box series and large-scale tactile installations brought him early acclaim within the Fluxus movement. From the 1960s onward, Ay-O devoted himself to his signature rainbow aesthetic — employing a painstaking silkscreen technique to create luminous, densely layered compositions spanning the full visible spectrum. He represented Japan at the Venice Biennale (1966) and the São Paulo Biennale (1971), and his works are held in the permanent collections of MoMA (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the British Museum (London), the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the National Museum of Modern Art (Tokyo and Kyoto), among others.
