Tokyo Gallery
Tokyo Gallery + BTAP is the first contemporary art gallery in Tokyo. Founded in 1950, it celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2020. Since the 1950s, the gallery has pioneered the introduction of Western avant-garde artists such as Lucio Fontana, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Yves Klein and Jackson Pollock to Japan. The gallery has also promoted experimental projects by Japanese artists, including Taro Okamoto, Kazuo Shiraga, Jiro Takamatsu and Mono-ha artists.
In 2002, the gallery opened a new space, Beijing Tokyo Art Projects (BTAP), in the now famous Beijing 798 Art District.
