„Kazuko Miyamoto, born 1942 is a Japanese-born visual and performance artist based in New York City, associated with feminist art, minimalism, and postminimalism. Miyamoto’s artistic style combines formalist minimalism with a foregrounding of the artist’s hand to insert a subtle and ironic commentary on the confident masculinity of male-dominated minimalist art. Miyamoto has been called „a preeminent feminist figure of minimalism“ and „a major figure of the Minimal and post-Minimal art scene in New York …. “ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazuko_Miyamoto

Auch war Kazuko Miyamoto 30 Jahren Assistentin des New Yorker Konzeptkünstlers Sol LeWitt († 2007) .
Im Zuge dieser Assistentinnen-Tätigkeit für Sol LeWitt, kommt Kazuko anlässlich des Forum Design 1980 zum ersten Mal nach Linz.
