Hiroshi Sugimoto Hall of Thirty Three Bays 1995 Gelatin silver print. 16 5/8 x 21 1/8 in. (42.2 x 53.7 cm) Signed in pencil on the mount; blindstamp number 3/25, 031 in the margin.
Provenance Sonnabend Gallery, New York Private Collection, Virginia Literature Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston and Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, Sugimoto, pp. 53-60 for variants Artist Bio Hiroshi Sugimoto Japanese • 1948 Hiroshi Sugimoto's work examines the concepts of time, space and the metaphysics of human existence through breathtakingly perfect images of theaters, mathematical forms, wax figures and seascapes. His 8 x 10 inch, large-format camera and long exposures give an almost eerie serenity to his images, treating the photograph as an ethereal time capsule and challenging its associations of the 'instant.' In his famed Seascapes, Sugimoto sublimely captures the nature of water and air, sharpening and blurring the elements together into a seamless, formless entity. This reflection of the human condition and its relationship with time follows through his exploration of historical topics and timeless beauty as he uniquely replicates the world around us.
