Vogue, April 29, 2025
Teruko Yokoi, an undersung Japanese-born Swiss abstract painter who spent much of her career in the US, was known for her work combining modern American abstraction with traditional Japanese aesthetics. This exhibition, on view May 1 through June 14, spans the artist’s career from the late ’50s to the early 2000s, focusing specifically on the Japanese dance-drama Noh as an influence on Yokoi’s practice. One of the few women artists in the 1950s New York milieu of Abstract Expressionism, she lived in the Chelsea Hotel for a spell with her husband, the painter Sam Francis; later in May the iconic hotel will unveil a Japanese restaurant named in her honor, showcasing eight works by Yokoi from its collection.
