“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.

Marta Dziewanska. “Teruko Yokoi: History and its Dangerous Supplement(s), “

in Teruko Yokoi. Tokyo-New York-Paris-Bern (Berlin: Hatje Cantz, 2020), 79.
