B:1/B:2 1964

"B:1/B:2" (1964) is a bold and graphic poster by Japanese artist Tadanori Yokoo. Known for his unique style blending traditional Japanese art with Western Pop Art influences, Yokoo's work often features striking colors, bold lines, and distorted figures. The poster is a striking example of this with a bright blue background and contrasting red and white elements. A single female figure with exaggerated features and an oversized smile takes center stage, juxtaposed against a grid of repeated faces, representing the mass media and its impact on individual identity. This artwork reflects the social and cultural upheavals of 1960s Japan and remains a powerful commentary on consumerism, media, and the individual within society. The poster is currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
