The screen presentation at Times Square “100 Artists of the World”  will be held as part of the Art Incubation Series, a collaboration between Emmy Award-winning writer Motoichi Adachi and curator Kyoko Sato, known for her introduction of Japanese culture in New York. Organized by Vision Art Media, this series aims to incorporate Japanese artists who produce intriguing works regardless of genre or background, into the cutting-edge art scene of New York, facilitating exchange with artists active around the world.

I want to cut through the art world with a sense honed from years of experience in the Japanese television industry. In a world that venerates tradition, I want to bring a new breeze with my free-spirited ideas. Regardless of whether one has graduated from a famous art university or received patronage from prestigious galleries, beautiful works are beautiful, and interesting works are interesting. I want to unleash captivating artists onto the world stage. I aspire to undertake such unconventional challenges.

—　Motoichi Adachi

Japan was defeated in World War II, but afterward, many Japanese artists, dreaming of success on the world stage, migrated to New York. Nearly 80 years have passed since the post-war period, and although the industry landscape has changed, this trend remains unchanged. The Japanese artists selected for the screen presentation in the heart of New York’s Times Square this time will experience an art program in New York and take a significant step forward.

Historical masters such as Yasuo Kuniyoshi (who moved to New York in 1910), Yoko Ono (1951), Yayoi Kusama (1957), On Kawara (1965), Ushio Shinohara (1969), Hiroshi Senju (1993), and Takashi Murakami (2001) also took their first steps in New York. From the artists in this exhibition, I cannot help but anticipate the emergence of such globally renowned artists in the future.
