Shu Takahashi Art

Japanese, b. 1930

Shu Takahashi was born in Hiroshima in 1930. In 1950, he moved to Tokyo, and in spite of mother's opposition to his artistic aspiration, entered Musashino Academy of Fine Arts. In 1956, he held his first solo exhibition. In 1987, Takahashi received the Education Minister’s Art Encouragement Prize, and in the following year, he was awarded the Japan Arts Grand Prix, which is given by Shinchosha in recognition of the year's best works of art. 

In Japan, together with other artists, Takahashi founded the Nouveau Group, a movement that would revolutionize the visual artistic language. Takahashi received the Dokuritsu Prize and his Way to the Moon was bought by the Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art, which awarded him the Yasui Prize for new artists. He became well-known in Italy, and since 1969, he has formed a stable relationship with the Galleria dell’Ariete in Milan. He took part in the Venice Biennale in 1976 and in the Rome Quadriennale in 1977. In 1996, Takahashi taught at the Kurashiki University of Sciences and Arts. Takahashi’s exhibitions include his retrospective at the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome (1993) and the 2003–2004 Spirit of Gold Exhibition at the Edoardo Chiossone Oriental Art Museum in Genoa. Takahashi has been living and working in Rome since 1963.

Kerry James Marshall - Keeping the Culture, silkscreen and linocut, Signed/N

By Kerry James Marshall

Located in New York, NY

Kerry James Marshall Keeping the Culture, 2011 Silkscreen and linocut in colors with full margins and deckled edges on Arches paper with full margins and deckled edges 20-1/4 x 30-1/4 inches Hand signed, titled and numbered 79/100 by Kerry James Marshall in graphite pencil on the front Published by Africa House International, Chicago Unframed In September, 2025, "Kerry James Marshall: The Histories" opened at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. This major exhibition was the largest presentation of Marshall's work in the United Kingdom and Europe, and featured more than 70 works by the the artist, including a large number of paintings and a selection of prints, drawings and sculptures. Highlights of the show include a new series of paintings that explore the transatlantic slave trade, along with Knowledge and Wonder, a mural commissioned in 1995 by the Chicago Public Library that is the largest painting Marshall has produced. The exhibition at the Royal Academy will then travel to the Kunsthaus Zurich and the Musee d'Art Modern in Paris. Kerry James Marshall's 2011 "Keeping the Culture" is based upon the artist's eponymous painting done the year earlier, which is featured in the Royal Academy Exhibition. In 2013, an original painting, upon which this work is based, sold at Christie's auction. Below is the Christie's Lot Essay for that painting: ..." Set in a revolutionary apartment in the cosmos, Kerry James Marshall's Keeping the Culture optimistically anticipates a future that pays homage to the past. Ushering in a new stage of the artist's output, Keeping the Culture shifts focus from the failed utopia of urban renewal and the commemoration of civil rights era heroes in favor of a more technically refined meditation on the preservation of the traditional and spiritual values that shaped a culture. Placed in an ultramodern environment, two siblings marvel at a projection of the earth--in which Marshall has aptly positioned the African continent toward the viewer-while their affectionate parents dance in the foreground. Overlooking the milky way, Marshall's space-age flat is decorated with earthly relics-wooden tribal sculptures...
