Hiroshi Sugimoto

I’ve held Hiroshi Sugimoto’s work in high regards since I first encountered it. His pictures of movie theater screens are strong, but my favorite are his sea ‘scapes. I can imagine an argument that they’re not original, but I think they are elegant and beautiful. Now, unfortunately, I’ve only ever seen Sugimoto’s work in books, but one can only imagine his prints are exquisite. (If you’re interested, there are also some podcasts with Sugimoto here.)

    Incredible. Hypnotic and serene.

    I was lucky enough to not only hear Sugimoto speak at the Fort Worth Modern last year (where he told us of the LSD epiphany which started his theater series), but also a tour through his retrospective. The large prints were stunning in their beauty and craftsmanship; if you have the chance to see his work in person then run, don’t walk!
