Rese�a del editor:

Known for his long-exposure photographic series of empty movie theaters and driveins, seascapes, museum dioramas, and waxworks, Hiroshi Sugimoto has been turning his camera on international icons of twentieth-century architecture since 1997. His deliberately blurred and seemingly timeless photographs depict structures as diverse as the Empire State Building, Le Corbusier’s Chapel de N�tre Dame du Haut, and Tadao Ando’s Church of Light in Osaka. The resulting black-and-white photographs, shot distinctly out of focus and from unusual angles, are not attempts at documentation but rather evocation--meant to isolate the buildings from their contexts, allowing them to exist as dreamlike, uninhabited ideals. Among the other buildings represented in the series are Philippe Starck’s Asahi Breweries, Fumihiko Maki’s Fujisawa Municipal Gymnasium, the United Nations Building, the Chrysler Building, Giuseppi Terragni’s Santelia Monument Como, the World Trade Center, Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, Antonio Gaud’’s Casa Batll* II, the 1922 Schindler House, and buildings by Frank Gehry, Frank Lloyd Wright, and many others in Europe, North America and Asia.

Biograf�a del autor:

His work is held in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; The National Gallery, London; The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Smithsonian Institute of Art, Washington, D.C., and Tate, London, among others.

New in publisher's shrink-wrap (shrink-wrapped after signing). From the publisher: "In 1997, Hiroshi Sugimoto began a series of photographs of significant works of modernist architecture, intending "to trace the beginnings of our age via architecture." One of the hallmarks of Sugimoto's work is his technical mastery of the medium. He makes photographs exclusively with an 8 x 10" view camera, and his silver gelatin prints are renowned for their tonal range, total lack of grain, wealth of detail and overall optical precision. In making the Architecture photographs, however, he inverted his usual process: "Pushing out my old large-format camera's focal length to twice-infinity. I discovered that superlative architecture survives the onslaught of blurred photography. Thus I began erosion-testing architecture for durability, completely melting away many of the buildings in the process." The language of architectural modernism is distilled in photographs of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, Mies van der Rohe's Seagram Building, and Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao. By virtue of their blurriness and lack of color, the images strip down buildings to their essence, what we might imagine was the architect's first, pure vision of form. The details of construction and imperfections that are a natural result of a massive, collaborative human undertaking, are absent, and instead light and shadow define the forms of these buildings. The Architecture photographs continue the artist's longstanding investigations of the passage of time and of history. Are these monuments to human ingenuity and the power of the industrial age as eternal as they seem? 'Architecture' contains 90 photographs, 19 of which are previously unpublished." Signed by Author.
