Publisher: Shukan Gendai
Place Published: Tokyo
Year: 1991

Description: Documents the debate over Atom Piece (Working Model for Nuclear Energy), 1964-1965 bronze. Includes a statement from the Chairman of the Japanese Hydrogen Bomb Survivors Committee. Not only was it so expensive it was chosen as the symbol of the Modern Art Museum. Even though he is such a famous artist it was clearly a serious oversight not to have thoroughly investigated this in advance. The sculpture will have to be displayed elsewhere".
