Guggenheim Museum will present Gutai: Splendid Playground, a retrospective of the Gutai Art Association (1954-72), the radically inventive and influential Japanese artistic collective whose innovative and playful approaches to installation and performance yielded one of the most important international avant-garde movements to emerge after World War II.
