Hinomoto no Neko, Tadanori Yokoo’s silkscreen poster for the Japan Maneki Neko Club, a riot of beckoning cats, rising-sun rays and lucky charms, newly set in a gold archival frame.
The Piece
Tadanori Yokoo, born in 1936, turned Japanese poster design inside out in the 1960s, mixing rising suns, printed ephemera and folk imagery into collage that the Museum of Modern Art in New York showed as early as 1972.
Red and white rays burst from the centre, where a golden maneki neko raises its paw, while black and calico cats prowl across the field, a great cat face crowns the top and a red seal of good fortune sits at the base.
The sheet measures 72.5 x 103 cm (28.5 x 40.6 in); the new archival frame is 82 x 112.5 cm (32.3 x 44.3 in) and 3.5 cm (1.4 in) deep.
