“Tokyo, San Francisco, New York, Paris, and Bern—all places that left marks on her oeuvre…with all the feelings of uncertainty, disquiet, and displacement that such a position triggers…It is also an account of the experience of an artist who has worked despite and through the wounds of history, geography, race, and gender. Despite Yokoi’s proximity to the central Western postwar art movements of the Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel, she has never been made one of them—gifted and innovative, yet distinct and coming from a different cultural background…too different to share the same fights.”
