Yasumasa Yonehara, better known as “YONE” has a massive influence on Tokyo’s fashion and art world. View any Japanese magazine rack and you’ll find himself and his work in several publications at a given time. Dazed and Confused, Numero, Warp, Purple(Paris) and countless others have called upon his work in the past month. Yone’s curatorial work has included the artists Nan Golden, Terry Richardson, Ed Banger Records and Fafi. His photography has led to projects for clients as diverse as Zippo, Charlotte Ronson and he even has his own edition of Fuji Film. In short, Yone’s work shapes how Tokyo and the world views glamour, celebrity, sex, and fashion
Fourth Wall is proud to bring Yone to the USA for two exhibitions. Art Basel Miami, and a full gallery installation at Fourth Wall Project - 132 Brookline Ave, Boston MA. The installations will offer a retrospective of Ythe artists’ work as well as new projects in print and photography.
Art Basel Installation
Fourth wall built a seedy installation focusing on his body of work from the past 20 years of shaping Fashion in Tokyo through photography, objects, and video. The installation also served as a portrait studio where a range of subjects and attendees were photographed during Art Basel
The exhibition coinicides with the release of an Acclaim Magazine(AU) Yone edits as well as his upcoming Feature in Juxtapoz(US).
