Tokyo Santa Performance, Sagacho-Bis Tokyo, Japan, November 22, 1996, 6pm-11pm

Trust us, you don't want thisSanta coming down your chimney. Through a series of 75 crisp images, mostly in brilliant reds, Tokyo Santadocuments Paul McCarthy's 1996 performance at Tomio Kayama Gallery. Santa is decidedly naughty--he shows his private parts, and smears ketchup and paint everywhere. Everywhere. Also included are ten drawings that Santa made during his performance; they share a palette of browns, reds, black and greens. With its large format, and cheerful red-and-green palette, this oversized book makes a wonderful holiday gift--but not for the kids.McCarthy, Paul is the author of 'Tokyo Santa Performance, Sagacho-Bis Tokyo, Japan, November 22, 1996, 6pm-11pm', published 2005 under ISBN 9783883756141 and ISBN 3883756148.
