Genpei Akasegawa (赤瀬川 原平, Akasegawa Genpei) was a pseudonym of Japanese artist Katsuhiko Akasegawa (赤瀬川 克彦, Akasegawa Katsuhiko), born March 27, 1937 – October 26, 2014 in Yokohama.[1] He used another pseudonym, Katsuhiko Otsuji (尾辻 克彦, Otsuji Katsuhiko), for literary works. A member of the influential artist groups Neo-Dada Organizers and Hi-Red Center, Akasegawa went on to maintain a multi-disciplinary practice throughout his career as an individual artist. He has had retrospective exhibitions at the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art,[2] Chiba City Museum,[3] and Oita City Museum.[4] His work is in the permanent collection at Museum of Modern Art in New York.[5] Artist Nam June Paik has described Akasegawa as “one of those unexportable geniuses of Japan.”[6]
