Lot Essay

In a poem entitled “Dogs from Your Childhood”, penned by Yoshitomo Nara in 1999, the artist describes a dog that he sees in his mind’s eye, possibly from a time long-passed: “If the gathered past becomes the present, then perhaps the fragment of the imploding now that is the dog, is me, is you, as well.” – Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody's Fool by Melissa Chiu and Miwako Tezuka, Asia society Museum, New York, United States, 2010
