Among the works Longo will show are large-scale drawings inspired by Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (1647–1652) sculptural altarpiece and Hokusai's iconic The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831) print. Smaller-scale ink and charcoal drawings on the booth depict a peaceful forest, a breaching whale, a sleek pilot helmet, and other subjects that, in Longo's words, "echo the magic of Tokyo, a city that so beautifully encompasses tradition, nature, and innovation." The artist's first major solo exhibition in Tokyo took place in 1995, when the Isetan Museum of Art presented a retrospective of his work. Further details about Longo's presentation on Pace's booth at Tokyo Gendai will be revealed in due course.

He graduated high school in 1970, weeks after the Ohio National Guard massacred several students at Kent State University who were protesting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. One of those killed was a former classmate of Longo’s, and his body was shown in a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph that was seen across the world. The event shocked Longo, triggering his interest in political activism and media imagery.Learn More To inquire about Robert Longo or the works featured here, please email us at inquiries@pacegallery.com.
