First Solo UK Exhibition of Kikuji Kawada's 'The Last Cosmology' Series on View at Michael Hoppen Gallery

Art Daily Online, December 8, 2014

The Michael Hoppen Gallery is presenting the first solo UK exhibition of Kikuji Kawada’s ‘The Last Cosmology’ series. Originally published in parts in the 1980s, it was compiled into a publication and solo exhibition in 1995. Part of Kawada’s "Catastrophe Trilogy," the chronicle seemingly ties together the dramas of the skies with the end of two historical eras on earth: the ‘Showa’ era with the death of the Emperor in Japan and the 20th century.
