About
Yamaguchi studied Western painting at the Tokyo Art School. Upon graduation in 1927, he moved to Paris to study European painting. He developed his mature style during the mid-1950s, with a focus on flatness.[1]
Yamaguchi's Yellow Eyes, painted in 1959, sold for US$948,500 at Sotheby's Contemporary Art Evening Sale in New York on May 18, 2017,[2] which set a record for the highest price paid for the artist's work.[citation needed]
