Description: Time Exposed Kyoto Shoin, Japan, 1991. Unbound - Brushed aluminum case holds 50 tri-tone prints. This special limited edition portfolio is an elegant presentation of Sugimoto's seascapes. The reproductions are 300 line screen tri-tones printed in offset lithography. The reproductions are nearly indistinguishable from the originals, making this the perfect vehicle for the subtleties of Sugimoto's photographs. Each of the fifty images is tipped-on to gorgeous Peach Kent paper, with blind-stamped titles. The sheet measures approx 14" x 18.25". The portfolio is protected in an exquisite brushed aluminum case and a printed cardboard slipcase. These monochromatic landscape portraits poignantly capture water and air while simultaneously documenting the transcendent quality of their underlying stillness. Of these works, Sugimoto has said, “Mystery of mysteries, water and air are right there before us in the sea. Every time I view the sea, I feel a calming sense of security, as if visiting my ancestral home; I embark on a voyage of seeing.” Hiroshi Sugimoto (Japanese, b. 1948) aims to convey and preserve a point in time through his highly technical photographs. Sugimoto is also compelled by architecture, creating large-format photographs of significant buildings from around the world and working with architects to execute his visions. Sugimoto’s work is considered to be concrete and abstract at the same time. Represented by PACE, and with past shows at Gagosian Gallery, Sugimoto’s work is held in numerous public collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the National Gallery, London, among others.
