In 1975 Keiichi Tanaami became the founding art director of the Japan edition of Playboy, gaining attention for his innovative graphic design. His unique philosophy that printed materials are not reproductions, but rather an infinite number of original works led him to express himself through a wide range of mediums, including paintings, silkscreens, collages, animation, experimental films, objets d’art, and installations. His passion for expression knew no bounds: from the 2000s onward he worked with fashion brands and musicians, created 700 Picasso-inspired paintings during the Covid-19 pandemic and 'collaborated' with the works of the late manga artist Fujio Akatsuka.
Today Tanaami's work is garnering renewed international attention and this definitive collection covers the more than six decades of his career, from his earliest to his last works.
The book is supplemented by an extensive number of valuable visual and textual materials and essays giving insight into his oeuvre from a range of perspectives.
