Hailing from Tanaka’s glorious 1960s era of international acclaim, Presented at the autumn sales of Sotheby's in Hong Kong, Work is outstanding for its range of brilliant colour, layered three-dimensionality and compelling immediacy, a testament to Tanaka’s use of quick-drying synthetic enamel paint. Works of such commanding presence from Tanaka’s early 1960s circle paintings are extremely rare, with similar paintings from this period currently held by such eminent museum collections as New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
