This exhibition was a follow-up to a retrospective of Ikko Tanaka’s early posters (1953-1979) held at ddd in November 2010. This time, 150 works were selected from his output of roughly 920 poster works created between 1980 and 2002. This, his later period includes representative works that secured his acclaim as one of the world's foremost poster artist: including "Nihon Buyo," "Salvatore Ferragamo: The Art of the Shoe," and "Butoh Kaden," a work that opened up new artistic territory with its incorporation of calligraphic elements. The exhibition shed light on Tanaka's robust pursuit of creative activity through to the end of his life.
