An exceptional and increasingly hard-to-find reference book dedicated to internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Yoshitomo Nara. “Yoshitomo Nara Complete Reader 1991–2013” is a comprehensive archive publication edited by Bijutsu Techo and published by Bijutsu Shuppansha / BT Books in 2013. This substantial 708-page volume brings together over two decades of material related to Nara’s artistic career, including exhibition reviews, interviews, essays, archival articles, visual documentation, and rare magazine layouts originally published in Bijutsu Techo between 1991 and 2013. Rather than a standard art book, this publication functions as a deep documentary archive of Yoshitomo Nara’s artistic evolution—from his early exhibitions and underground-era activities to his internationally recognized contemporary works. The book contains extensive visual material throughout, including artworks, exhibition photographs, installation views, magazine spreads, sketches, and historical references highly valued by collectors and researchers of Japanese contemporary art. Particularly notable is the inclusion of early exhibition reviews and original archival layouts from the 1990s, offering an authentic glimpse into the formative years of one of Japan’s most influential contemporary artists. This example is an unused copy with the original obi band intact, a highly desirable feature among Japanese book collectors. Copies in this condition are becoming increasingly scarce, especially as the title is now out of print.
