Peter Freeman, Inc. presents an exhibition devoted to Gōzō Yoshimasu (born 1939 in Tokyo), one of the most important contemporary Japanese poets. A photographer, performer, and filmmaker, he has been active since the 1960s and has continually expanded both the forms and the scope of his poetic practice. Profoundly marked by the catastrophe of March 11, 2011, in Tōhoku, Japan, he initiated “Dear Monster” (2012–2016), a vast body of works on paper combining autograph manuscripts, transcriptions, drawings, and collages—thirteen of which are on view—embodying the “poetic obligation” of a survivor. In its wake, the series “Fire Embroidery” (2016–2018) and “Voix” (2019–2020) extend this dialogue between text and image.
Solo show by Gōzō Yoshimasu

The gallery
Founded in 1990, Peter Freeman, Inc. represents leading artists and major estates spanning several generations.
In 2006, Peter Freeman partnered with Galerie Nelson, which became Peter Freeman, Inc., Paris in 2013. After twenty years on rue Quincampoix (4th arrondissement), the gallery relocated in 2025 to rue de Montpensier (1st arrondissement), near the Palais-Royal.
In both New York and Paris, the gallery brings rare historical works into dialogue with contemporary creations, fostering close relationships with museum institutions.
