About The Artist
Japanese, b. 1948
Hiroshi Sugimoto's monochromatic photographic compositions, spanning theaters, landscapes, and the vastness of the sea, delve into the medium's ability to encapsulate and depict the essence of time. Beyond the confines of traditional black-and-white imagery, his abstract chromogenic prints featuring bold color fields challenge the delineation between painting and photography. Sugimoto's preferred tool is a turn-of-the-century large-format box camera, capturing ethereal traces of light and movement in evocative, hazy compositions that contemplate the fleeting nature of time and the intricate dimensions of perception.
Educated at Saint Paul’s University in Tokyo and the ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles, Sugimoto brings a cultivated perspective to his artistry. His global presence is marked by exhibitions in prominent cities such as London, New York, Tokyo, Paris, and Los Angeles, attesting to the universal resonance of his innovative work.
Sugimoto's artistic contributions are immortalized in the collections of esteemed institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., among numerous others. The profound impact of his creations is further underscored by the remarkable success in the art market, with his prints achieving seven-figure sales at auctions. In the intersection of time, perception, and artistic mastery, Hiroshi Sugimoto stands as a luminary whose work continues to captivate audiences globally.
