About

Why this artist matters now

Masayuki Nagare was a Japanese sculptor whose monumental stone works emerged in the postwar period. Working primarily in granite and marble, he developed an abstract formal language that balanced geometric precision with organic surface treatment, creating pieces that functioned as both sculptural objects and architectural interventions. His practice spanned seven decades, establishing him as a significant figure in Japanese modernist sculpture.
