by Blum & Poe Location: Booth D6, Park Avenue Armory, 643 Park Avenue at 67th Street New York
Artist(s): Koji ENOKURA
Date: 5 Mar - 9 Mar 2014
Kõji Enokura (1942-1995), one of the key figures of Mono-ha, explored the encounter between natural and industrial materials, staining paper, cloth, felt, and leather with oil and grease. He also discolored the floors and walls of galleries and outdoor spaces. During the 1980s and 1990s, Enokura variously contrasted smooth fields of black paint with unpainted fabric or used oil-soaked beams of lumber to mark the fabric, either affixing the beams to the work or leaning them against it.
Enokura's first exhibition in North America was held at Blum & Poe in June 2013. The ADAA Art Show will be the first presentation of his late-period works in New York.
