Currently on view at Blum & Poe, Los Angeles is a large survey exhibition of works by Nobuo Sekine, one of the key figures of Mono-ha, a group of Tokyo-based artists who radically changed the direction of Japanese art during the late 1960s and early 1970s by examining the interrelationships among natural and industrial materials, space, and perception. This is Sekine’s first solo show with the gallery and his first solo presentation in North America following his participation in the award-winning survey “Requiem for the Sun: The Art of Mono-ha,” curated by Mika Yoshitake, assistant curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, held at Blum & Poe and Gladstone Gallery, New York in 2012.
