A matched pair of posters from Yoshitomo Nara's 2012 exhibition a bit like you and me: one for the Yokohama Museum of Art, one for the Aomori Museum of Art, each with its own girl. Offset lithographs on B2 sheets, unused.
The Piece
The exhibition opened in Yokohama in the summer of 2012 and moved north to Aomori, the prefecture where Nara grew up, that autumn. Each museum printed its own poster. Both share the same layout, the title set large down the left side, with the dates and venue along the foot.
The Yokohama sheet sets orange lettering beside a girl in a mustard dress, her eyes narrowed and her smile private. The Aomori sheet answers in pale blue, with a russet-haired girl in a patchwork dress of pinks, greens and yellows. The page names the two paintings reproduced as Can't Wait 'til the Night Comes and Miss Spring, both of 2012.
