Keiichi Tanaami’s Wondergirl

It is difficult to know how to describe Keiichi Tanaami’s Wondergirl. I suppose it is an ornament of sorts, but this is no twee porcelain figurine. It is part of his Rolling 60’s collection and there were only 200 of the large Wondergirl figures produced.

Japanese artist Tanaami came into prominence in the sixties for his psychedelic designs which appeared in publications such as Studio Voice and Oz and Wondergirl is typical of his style.

Its certainly an interesting piece and if you think you’ve got somewhere suitable to display it in your home (I haven’t in mine!), it is available to buy now through the Paul Smith website for £65.
