YOKOTA TOKYO is pleased to present the exhibition "ARCHIVE–October 1972 Joseph Beuys and Abraham David Christian."
The time When “Documenta 5” was held in 1972, it was socially, artistically, and culturally in turmoil. Christian, then-nineteen-years-old, accompanied fifty-one-year-old Beuys, witnessing the whirlwind of changes of this “1972”.
This exhibition consists of four sections echoing two artists’ works and actions described above, showing ephemera including photographs, leaflets, artists’ statements, and posters.
