Kazuko Miyamoto, born in Tokyo in 1942, moved to the United States in 1964 and has since established herself as a significant figure in contemporary art. Since the early 1970s, she has been recognized for her minimalist and conceptual practice, particularly her innovative string constructions and works exploring space, geometry, and perception. Her artistic development was greatly influenced by her years of collaboration with the renowned artist Sol LeWitt.

In 1972, Miyamoto became a member of A.I.R. Gallery (Artists in Residence), the first women’s cooperative gallery in New York, founded by twenty women artists. Alongside her minimalist works, her practice also encompasses photography, performance, and works addressing identity and feminist concerns.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in numerous exhibitions, including Post-Op: Perceptual Gone Painterly 1958–2014, curated by Matthieu Poirier at Galerie Perrotin, Paris, and The Pink Gaze at the National Museum of Oriental Art in Rome, among others. Kazuko Miyamoto has also exhibited her work at Janela.
