An astonishing assemblage of sculptures, sketches, installations, ceramics, collaborations and photography, its pages reveal Mr Nara's extraordinary range and prolific output.' – Mr. Porter
'This monograph, published to coincide with a major solo exhibition at LACMA charts his first influences as a child growing up in an isolated northern town, to the development of his distinct "big-headed girls," and a new politically charged direction, following the 2011 earthquake and nuclear disaster that affected his home region.' – Elephant Magazine
'This book tells the compelling story of Nara's history to date, offering a fascinating glimpse into the internal world of this intriguing artist, whose work is never quite what it seems.' – The Arts Society Magazine
