さとうちゅうりょう

Widely known for his sculptures Man of Gunma and Hat, Summer, as well as his long-selling picture book The Gigantic Turnip, Sato Churyo (1912–2011) left a significant mark on the history of post-war Japanese sculpture. How did these sculptures come into being? This exhibition traces the path of Sato's work, drawing on his lifelong western art collection of works by Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), Marino Marini (1901–1980), Ben Shahn (1898–1969), and others to explore the secrets of his creativity.
