0:15:52 > 0:15:55Right, right, right. Little more, little more.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00This show in New York, which we call
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Shinohara: WHAM! POW! VROOOM!
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Um...is the idea of action, and also,
0:16:08 > 0:16:13vroom for his motorcycle, because Shinohara has been making sculpture,
0:16:13 > 0:16:15you know, since the beginning of his artistic career.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19He's been famous for years, but now is maybe one of his key moments.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40ARCHIVE NARRATOR: 'In the 1960s, a Japanese painter came to New York
0:16:40 > 0:16:43'seeking to create art that would reflect
0:16:43 > 0:16:45'the city's prosperity and chaos.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49'This artist is Ushio Shinohara.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55'Early morning in Soho.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58'Cardboard has been discarded in the streets.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01'And by walking a couple of blocks from his loft,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04'Shinohara can collect all he needs for his day's work.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12'At the moment, he is preparing a new sculpture
0:17:12 > 0:17:14'using great amounts of cardboard,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18'while his wife Noriko works on her own paintings.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31'As a young man in Tokyo,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34'he emerged as a leader in Japan's avant-garde art movement,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37'with his imitation of American Pop Art.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39'And action painting.'
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The quality of Ushio Shinohara's art is, to say the least, in some doubt.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56But it does illustrate the rather frenetic spirit of rebellion
0:17:56 > 0:17:58among some young people,
0:17:58 > 0:18:00and not only in Japan, throughout the world.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11'When he arrived in the United States,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14'he was at once in the limelight of the mass media.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24'It is said Shinohara is the most famous
0:18:24 > 0:18:27'of the poor and struggling artists in New York.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31'While his works are exhibited across Japan,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34'American collectors often say, "That's a wonderful image,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36'"but not my taste."
0:18:36 > 0:18:41'So most of Shinohara's pieces have never sold.'
0:19:23 > 0:19:26What's most important is that moment when he created the painting.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29This is a result,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but...a beautiful result,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34but also the actions. The energy's in there.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Have you met Shinohara?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Nice to see you.- Yeah, nice to meet you again.- It's wonderful.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42And he also made this extraordinary sculpture.

0:25:47 > 0:25:48which one it will be.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Yes, also there's a piece that he created that's larger...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Yeah. - ..and, in fact, this is the detail.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58I...I...I'm interested in one that has, like, a real historical...
0:25:58 > 0:26:01No, no, yeah, exactly, um...
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Yeah.- And they're interested in...

0:27:37 > 0:27:41- It's so important he's not thinking. - Right.- He's doing.- Yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43It's visceral, so different from Pollock.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Pollock was actually consciously...you know,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47it's very, very powerful.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You know, I want to work to try and find funders
0:27:50 > 0:27:54who can help us acquire the work.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58We want one that has some historical...resonance.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05What other ones exist?

0:28:08 > 0:28:10- ..Art In America. - It showed in Art In America.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- OK, so that's the kind of thing that they like.- Yeah.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15That's the kind of thing I need. Can you show me a picture of that?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- We have the copy of Art In America here.- Yeah, yeah, let's take a look.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50But the way we can work it out...
0:28:50 > 0:28:53We have to be sure that Ushio and Noriko benefit.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54No, no, that's...
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- OK, OK.- We can work this out, we can negotiate this.
