Teruko Yokoi received her initial training in Japan, going on to study at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco and with Hans Hofmann in New York. In 1962, she settled permanently in Bern, where she worked until her death. Her painting combines elements of Abstract Expressionism with motifs and material concepts from Japanese tradition. In 2020, the Kunstmuseum Bern dedicated a retrospective to her.
In the collection: "Calligraphic Japanese Composition".
