Arcana:

(SUGIMOTO, HIROSHI). Sugimoto, Hiroshi & Kozo Fujimoto. Tokyo: Rikuyosha Co. Ltd., 2004. First Edition. 4to. Boards in Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. 168pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Text in English and Japanese. Designed by Rie Shimoda. With a biography and exhibition history. This is the exquisite hardbound catalogue produced as the documentation of a 2003 Hiroshi Sugimoto exhibition entitled "L'Histoire de L'Histoire". For it, the renowned photographer selected objects and sites of Japanese cultural and historical importance, photographed them, and then installed these images along with older works (the dioramas, seascapes and portraits) in a Tokyo gallery curated by the luxury goods concern Hermes. The resulting work is unlike any of Sugimoto's previous books, and hauntingly beautiful. A brand new, most handsome example.
