"TADANORI YOKOO - Then and Now – Tadanori Yokoo, 1991", Japanese Contemporary Art Poster, Original Silk Screen 1991, Ultra Rare, Size (c.80 x 120cm)

Then and Now – Tadanori Yokoo, 1991
Silkscreen Print | Edition of 150 | Hand-Signed | 80 x 120 cm

This bold and conceptually layered silkscreen print titled "Then and Now" was created by iconic Japanese artist Tadanori Yokoo in 1991. Issued as a limited edition of 150, the print is hand-signed in pencil by Yokoo and individually numbered in the lower margin. It also bears Yokoo’s embossed seal, confirming authenticity.

The work presents a striking diptych composition:

• On the left, a highly stylized, pop-art portrait of a woman with red lips and a surreal gaze stands before a Mediterranean-style coastal town. The Gothic word "Then" is inscribed above.

• On the right, a monochromatic waterfall crashes down, overlaid with photographic collage elements and the word "Now" in yellow Gothic script—creating a powerful juxtaposition of artificial color and natural force, nostalgia and immediacy.

This silkscreen reflects Yokoo’s signature visual language—fusing Eastern and Western motifs, kitsch and critique, spirituality and satire—all with graphic precision and subcultural flair.
