Interdisciplinary artist Kikuo Saito was active in New York City visual art and experimental theater circles. As a painter, Saito's strong relationship to the Color Field artists is evidenced in "Gambler's Egg," 1993, where he inscribes and incises an inscrutable series of notes and equations over a brushy, turpentine-soaked field of mustard. One can see the full arc of the artist's arm in propulsive gestures across the canvas. Saito exhibited widely, taught at The Art Students League, and was a studio assistant for Helen Frankenthaler, Kenneth Noland, and Larry Poons. In his performance-related projects, he designed costumes for LaMama Theater, established sui generis theater, and worked with theatrical producers such as Robert Wilson. Saito's visual work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Aldrich Contemporary Museum, among others. His final years were spent establishing the multidisciplinary nonprofit museum and project space KinoSaito in Verplanck, New York.
