ART FAIR TOKYO 2013 : Topics
1)MAIN VISUAL IMAGE
Masayoshi Kodaira, the ADC award winner in Visual Design for ART FAIR TOKYO 2010 is in charge of the main image design
for AFT 2013.
2)Floor plan and Layout
On our eighth year and running, this year much like the previous, we've dedicated the entire B2 level for the fair. After a careful
review of the layout, not only have the aisles widened, we've also made it easier to weave through the entire floor to enjoy
each booth from antiques to contemporary.
3)Special Projects
1Artistic Practice
This section, "artistic practice exist throughout time and genre" was a concept that began in 2011 and continues to introduce in
the spirit of art, various breathtaking works and projects from historical to contemporary.
This year, Morihiro Hosokawa will be featured in this project.
Special Exhibition「-Sankyo- Life in the Mountains : Morihiro Hosokawa」
After retiring from the world of politics, Morihiro Hosokawa, the former prime minister of Japan discovered a life of tranquility
deep within the mountains. Dedicating his life to the pursuit of finding beauty in the simplicity of everyday necessities in rural
living. In this special exhibition, his calligraphy and ceramic works will be exhibited in a beautifully recreated model of his arbor
and tea ceremony room to convey in its totality, the message of "Bringing art into daily life".
