In 1965 he became the first Japanese artist to receive a solo exhibition at MoMA, New York, followed by the Grand Prize for Printmaking at the 1966 Venice Biennale. A relentlessly experimental artist, Ikeda later worked across painting, ceramics, film and literature, winning Japan’s prestigious Akutagawa Prize in 1977.\u003cem style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/xm7kjz-qq.myshopify.com\/collections\/masuo-ikeda\" title=\"池田満寿夫 Masuo Ikeda (1934-1997)\"\u003e[ ← View All Works by Masuo Ikeda]\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumo Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59004534194520,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/6745\/8648\/files\/MasuoIkeda-MixedFruits-MangoThmb.jpg?v=1793879083","url":"https:\/\/www.kumoarts.com\/products\/masuo-ikeda-mixed-fruits-mango","provider":"Kumo Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
