Title Ay-O (靉嘔) – Legend of Kirin (Kirin Densetsu) – Large Format Rainbow Screenprint – Signed – 1985 Description This vibrant screenprint is a representative work by internationally acclaimed "Rainbow Artist," Ay-O (b. 1931). A key member of the Fluxus movement, Ay-O is widely recognized for his distinctive use of the visible light spectrum, transforming subjects into dynamic, multi-layered visual experiences. Executed in high-quality silkscreen, this work features the artist’s signature rainbow gradation. Titled Legend of Kirin (麒麟伝説), it portrays the mythical Kirin (Qilin)—a traditional symbol of prosperity and harmony—leaping through a field of kaleidoscopic, floral-like forms. The composition demonstrates Ay-O’s mastery of color transitions, with over 20 seamlessly blended hues creating a strong sense of depth and movement. Works from this period, particularly the 1980s, are highly regarded among collectors. Ay-O’s works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the British Museum, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. This piece represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a work associated with post-war Japanese avant-garde art. Image Size: Approx. 45.0 × 60.0 cm Condition Overall good vintage condition.
