Dekorativ prydnad - Taro Okamoto 岡本太郎 - skulptur - SÄLLSAMT brons

This statue, named "Tower of the Sun," is a creation by Taro Okamoto, a revered figure in Japanese modern art known for his avant-garde style and profound philosophical undertones. Crafted for the 1970 Osaka Expo, it stands as a powerful emblem of post-war Japanese culture, embodying themes of renewal and optimism. In the 1970s, the salary of a new graduate was about 30,000 yen and a TV set was very expensive at about 200,000 yen. Not everyone could afford to buy one, but this Tower of the Sun was given out as a novelty when one bought a Mitsubishi color TV. DEMENSION: - Height: 32cm - Width: 30cm - Weight: 2172g Artist Profile Taro Okamoto (1911-1996) gained worldwide acclaim for his dynamic and often monumental artworks exploring the realms of energy, nature, and the universe. His most iconic piece, the "Tower of the Sun," became the symbol of the 1970 Osaka World Exposition. In acknowledgment of his profound impact on the artistic landscape, Okamoto was honored with the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Officier) by the French government in 1984.
