City and Pop
Through the newly opened windows, the pulse of Shibuya’s cityscape flows in like a breath, alive and immediate.
To resonate with the reality of the city, the first floor of the exhibition centers around Pop Art.
Beginning with Andy Warhol’s cool, incisive gaze at the objects of everyday life, the exhibition expands to include Yoshitomo Nara’s uniquely “neotenic pop,” where his work encounters and converses with Hokusai’s ukiyo-e.
Furthermore, diverse expressions of urban and pop art intersect in this vivid panorama of contemporary sensibilities, including Banksy's poetic resistance from the streets.
