A monumental collection of 35 original prints (№1211 to №1245) from "BRAIN CELL," the life’s work of Ryosuke Cohen, a legendary pioneer of the Japanese mail art movement.
■ "BRAIN CELL": The Ever-Evolving Universe of Connectivity Launched in 1985, this project visualizes a "Knowledge Network" where global creativity intersects. This specific set, produced in 2025, represents the latest evolution of Cohen's 40-year journey. It offers an overwhelming display of contemporary global energy, meticulously reconstructed on 35 sequential sheets.
■ The World’s First Official Sale: Unparalleled Rarity Historically, these works were distributed exclusively as return gifts to participating artists. With only 50 copies per edition—most of which remain in private hands worldwide—acquiring a sequential set from 2025 is an extraordinary opportunity. This marks the world's first official commercial sale, offering a collection of museum-piece caliber.
■ Provenance & Prestige In the 1980s, Cohen co-founded his mail art practice with Shozo Shimamoto of the Gutai Art Association. His humanitarian impact led to his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize by Bern Porter, a physicist and peace activist on the Nobel committee.
