Kazuko Miyamoto @ Take Ninagawa

Kazuko Miyamoto is the subject of a comprehensive solo exhibition at Take Ninagawa in Tokyo, running from February 14 to April 11, 2026. The showcase features a diverse array of the artist's signature string constructions, maquettes, and drawings, spanning several decades of her career from the early 1970s through the late 2000s. Key works on display include her intricate string maquettes from 1973 and large-scale geometric explorations like "Study of Lines in Ring #3" and "Mariana."

This exhibition is significant as it highlights Miyamoto’s pivotal role in bridging New York Minimalism with a more tactile, organic sensibility. As an early member of the A.I.R. Gallery and a long-time assistant to Sol LeWitt, Miyamoto developed a unique visual language that challenged the rigidity of the grid through the use of ephemeral materials. The presentation at Take Ninagawa offers a vital look at her historical contributions to post-minimalism and her enduring influence on contemporary spatial practice.
