Robert Yasuda, Across the River (acrylic polymer on wallboard, 120" x 336", 2016. Installation at MoMA PS1). The image illustrates a later period and body of work in Robert Yasuda's career beginning in the 2000s, when he produced large-scale wall-painting installations, with a sculptural rather than mural-like presence. These works often angled off of existing walls or structures in forward tilts to create new, compressed and angular spaces, while featuring diagonals, simple painted motifs, subtle line and shifts in hue that enhanced and offset their physical and spatial sensations and contradictions of perspective and perception. This work demonstrates a later, site-specific instance of this work, commissioned for the MoMA PS1 40th anniversary exhibition, "Forty," which engaged its room's lighting, paint surfaces and architecture. This body of work has been publicly exhibited in prominent museums and venues, discussed extensively in national art and daily press publications, and commissioned by major art institutions.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a specific body of work in Robert Yasuda's career beginning in the 1970s and later reprised in limited works: his large-scale wall-painting installations, which brought him early notice in New York. These works angled off of existing walls or structures in forward tilts to create new, compressed and angular spaces, distinguishing themselves as sculptural objects rather than murals. They often featured diagonals, simple painted motifs, subtle line and shifts in hue that enhanced and offset these physical and spatial sensations, exploring contradictions of perspective and perception. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to visualize a key developmental phase in his art, which brought early recognition and commissions from art journals, daily press publications, institutions and museums. Yasuda's work of this type and this work in particular is discussed in the article and by prominent critics cited in the article.
