Shinkichi Tajiri: The Restless Wanderer

From December 2, the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht will be presenting the first exhibition on Shinkichi Tajiri (1923, Los Angeles, California, USA - 2009, Baarlo), curated by his granddaughter Tanéa and grandson Shakuru Tajiri. In 2023, the Japanese-American artist would have turned 100 years old. This event is being celebrated with the exhibition Shinkichi Tajiri: The Restless Wanderer. Tanéa and Shakuru explain the work of the versatile artist based on his moving life story. The comprehensive exhibition at the Bonnefanten Museum will feature a large number of works from his Warriors, Seeds, Machines and Knot series. The works will be complemented by new, previously unpublished material from the Tajiris' family archive as well as anecdotes and works by his friends and inspiring artists such as Isamu Noguchi, Karel Appel, Constant, Lucebert and Julio González.
