2004 marks the 50th anniversary of the Gutai Art Association, which was formed by the painter Yoshihara Jiro and a group of young artists in the Hanshin area. The group produced a large body of work and embraced a multitude of expressive forms. Gaining recognition in both Japan and in the U.S. and Europe, Gutai was the first Japanese post-war art group to be affiliated with a Western art movement. The group dissolved in 1972 following the death of Yoshihara. In the mid-1980s, a series of Gutai retrospectives were held throughout Japan and in Spain, Yugoslavia, Italy, Germany and France.

This book offers a concise overview of the 18-year history of Gutai, highlighting key developments, activities and exhibitions, and is filled with numerous photographs. It provides biographical sketches of some of its former members and includes a chronology, guide to Gutai exhibition sites, museums with important collections of Gutai art, as well as resources with further information.
