Asia Society is pleased to present a major exhibition of Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (born 1959), one of the most influential and internationally renowned Neo-Pop artists working today. The exhibition comprises 20 years’ worth of paintings, sculpture, drawings, and large-scale installations.

Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody’s Fool draws connections between the artist’s work and the sensibilities of youth subcultures worldwide, focusing on themes of alienation and rebellion, particularly in relation to rock and punk music, the inspiration and subject of many of Nara’s works. The graphic nature of Nara’s art recalls the lyrics of rock groups such as Nirvana, The Doors, and The Ramones, and his art has inspired a cult following among youth throughout Asia.
