Born on February 20, 1936, in Tokyo, Takamatsu Jirō was an influential artist, theorist, and teacher in 1960s and 1970s Japan. After finishing studies in oil painting at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music in 1958, Takamatsu worked in a range of mediums, including sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, and performance, and probed the material and metaphysical foundations of artistic practice.

Takamatsu taught at Tama Art University, Tokyo (1968–72). In 1966 the Tokyo Gallery held his first solo exhibition and later presented seven more solo shows between 1969 and 1987. He represented Japan at the Venice Biennale (Carlo Cardozzo Prize, 1968) and exhibited at the Paris Biennial (1969); São Paulo Biennial (1973); and Documenta, Kassel, West Germany (1977). He was awarded the Grand Prize at the Tokyo Print Biennial (1972). Major retrospectives have occurred at the National Museum of Art, Osaka, Japan (1999); Chiba City Museum of Art, Japan (2000); Fuchu Art Museum, Tokyo (2004); and Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art, Japan (2004). His work has been included at group shows at the Guggenheim Museum (1971); Centre Pompidou, Paris (1986); Yokohoma Art Museum, Japan (1994); and the Guggenheim Museum SoHo (1994).
