Widely known as one of the key female artists essential to discussing post-war Japanese art, Tanaka Atsuko (1932-2005) is always mentioned as a member of the Gutai Art Association. Born in Osaka in 1932, Tanaka studied at the Art Institute of Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts after dropping out of Kyoto Municipal College of Art (now Kyoto City University of Arts) in 1951. In 1955, she joined Gutai alongside members of the "Zero Society" such as Kanayama Akira, Shiraga Kazuo, and Murakami Saburo, and presented her iconic work Electric Dress, a garment made of various flickering light bulbs. During her time with Gutai, she created innovative works utilizing systems where energy was converted into light and sound. Around 1957, she focused on the entanglement of light bulbs and cords, transitioning her medium to two-dimensional work. Still, her artistic practice consistently explored the relationship with immaterial concepts such as light, sound, space, and time.

This work, measuring 76 x 57 cm, is a signature painting by Tanaka created in 1967. The image of circles, colorfully scattered by gouache and connected by lines, is a reflection of the artist's exploration of the relationships with phenomena in this world. Tanaka's practice continued for 50 years after transitioning to works on paper, and this piece was produced during the first decade of her career. It is rare for Tanaka's works from the 1960s to appear on the market, making this piece a rare find.
