Conceived as a fictional retrospective for an artist who was still very much alive, the publication transformed the conventional exhibition catalogue into a conceptual artwork, announcing Yokoo's rejection of artistic convention and his embrace of self-mythology.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1051\" data-end=\"1492\"\u003eBringing together paintings, posters, collages and graphic works produced during the 1960s, the book captures the visual language that made Yokoo an international figure.
