Saburo Murakami

Saburo Murakami (1925 - 1996) was active/lived in Japan.  Saburo Murakami is known for Non objective, abstract painting, conceptual, performance.

Saburo Murakami is best known as one of the founders of the Zero Group and his involvement with the Gutai Group. Murakami, who held a doctorate in philosophy with a specialization in aesthetics, made performance works and conceptual paintings.

Some of his best-known works were performances in which he used his body’s momentum to break through many consecutive panels of paper stretched between wood; these were presented as “paintings”. In other works, he used different parts of his body to puncture stretched paper, and threw a ball onto a surface to create marks.

Later in his career, his works merged further with conceptual, performance, and minimal techniques, and away from actual objects. Murakami didn’t want to call his creations works or exhibitions in the traditional sense, but considered them “negotiation sites.”
