The Gutai Art Association (1954–72) was an avant-garde collective of 17 original member artists, formed by artist, critic, and teacher Jirō Yoshihara, along with Shōzō Shimamoto, in the cosmopolitan town of Ashiya, near Osaka, in western Japan. Yoshihara's primary directive to the membership was, "Do something no one's ever done before." In the summer of 2012, the National Art Center in Tokyo exhibited Gutai: Spirit of an Era, the first major retrospective examination of the movement in the nation's capital.
