The Book

Art Space Tokyo does more than simply introduce twelve art spaces. Its rich tapestry of voices from within the art world reveals the structures and ideas, ideals and blunders behind how art ends up on the walls in Tokyo.

Think of the book as the missing guide to art in Tokyo. Some of the twelve spaces featured are well known. Some are hardly known even in the Tokyo art community. We give you the background information needed to fully appreciate all of them.

Like all Chin Music Press books, Art Space Tokyo is lovingly designed and produced.
