	Hiroshi Sugimoto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hiroshi Sugimoto (杉本博司, Sugimoto Hiroshi), born in 1948, is a Japanese photographer currently dividing his time between Tokyo and New York City.

		Sugimoto began his work with "Dioramas" in 1976, a series in which he photographed displays in natural history museums.

	Hiroshi Sugimoto - Portraits
		Queen Elizabeth II The initial impact of Hiroshi Sugimoto's exhibition of a dozen fl-and-white "portraits" at San Francisco's Fraenkel Gallery derives from sheer size (the photographs are uniformly about five by four feet) and from dramatic lighting--his figures are posed under strong direct light against pitch fl backgrounds.
		Sugimoto's photographs are of wax museum figures, themselves often copied from painted or photographed portraits.
		Sugimoto's photo raises similar questions about sequential representations, and familiarity with the painting certainly colors the way Sugimoto's photograph is perceived.

		As one enters the realm of Hiroshi Sugimoto's photo exhibit, calm and peace immediately envelope the observer.
		Conceived in 1967, during a time which proved to be both an intellectually and creatively productive one for the artist, Sugimoto's series is a collection of more than 80 photos set next to one another, requiring viewers to distinguish and appreciate the subtle differences from one photo to the next.
		The series is a photographic collage of 48 images of 100 12th-century wooden Buddha statues, housed at the Sanjusangen-do Temple (which translates as "a hall with 33 bays") in Kyoto, Japan.

		Sugimoto is acclaimed as a rare, "truly original" contemporary photographer.
		Sugimoto moved from Tokyo to Los Angeles in the early 1970s to attend art school.

		Sugimoto rekindles a dialogue that has existed since photography’s invention: the relationship between painting and the medium of mechanical reproduction.
		Sugimoto’s contemporary subjects, individuals who already inhabit our culture’s collective unconscious, similarly engage issues of commemoration and the cult of celebrity.
		Sugimoto’s portraits provide photographic "evidence" of historical subjects and events previously uncaptured on film.

		Sugimoto uses his chosen medium, the suspended moment of the photograph, to scrutinize an apparent paradox: though time functions as an ordering system, a concrete and objective measure of reality, we experience the passage of time subjectively, as an instrument of personal perception.
		In this latest series, Sugimoto's subjects are the landmark structures of the twentieth century.
		Sugimoto's photographs assail this mystery, and probe the psychological mechanisms that gives monuments their monumentality.

	John Stathatos: Hiroshi Sugimoto
		Hiroshi Sugimoto is an obsessive perfectionist who uses his cumbersome 10"x8" plate camera to photograph the same three subjects over and over again: dioramas, film theatres and seascapes.
		To judge by the great precision of these prints, Sugimoto is unlikely to tolerate even the slightest degree of blur or lack of focus; it is also evident that he makes exclusive use of available light, avoiding the use of additional light sources such as strobes or floodlights.
		Sugimoto plays it absolutely straight, photographing these impossibly encyclopedic assemblages as though he were before a real landscape.

	Guggenheim Museum - - Exhibitions - Sugimoto
		Hiroshi Sugimoto left his native Japan in 1970 to study art in Los Angeles at a time when Minimalism and Conceptual art—both of which informed his work—dominated.
		As his technique evolved, Sugimoto came to conceive of subjects in such conceptual depth that they have merited his attention throughout his career.
		Unlike his earlier depictions of dioramic displays found in natural history museums and tableaux of famous persons in wax museums, these images are larger-than-life-size, fl-and-white portraits of historical figures past and present, including Henry VIII, Napoleon Bonaparte, Fidel Castro, and Princess Diana, which are photographed against dramatically lit, fl backdrops.

	John Cahill's Art Talks Page
		Sugimoto, a Tokyo-born, New York-based photographer, was interviewed by Kerry Brougher, Chief Curator of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden.
		Sugimoto found them rather obviously fake, but when he covered one eye to remove stereoscopic perspective (as a camera does), he realized that a fl and white photograph might seem more real.
		Sugimoto admitted that he tried some hallucinogens in the 1960s, and became very interested in how one's thinking and vision can be changed by such a small object--a pill.

		While Sugimoto, 57, has been the focus of one-man shows at the Guggenheim in Bilbao and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this is the first time viewers can sample in one place the entire career of one of Japan's most important artists.
		Sugimoto is well aware of the irony that he, like the creators of such dioramas, is practicing a vanishing art.

	The Metropolitan Museum of Art - Works of Art: Photographs
		Conceptual and perceptual richness, impeccable craftmanship, and minimalism—these qualities of twelfth-century Japanese painting inspire Sugimoto and characterize his work, especially the seascapes.
		Sugimoto is not interested in boats, bathers or spectacular sunsets but rather in the particularity of light and atmosphere in any specific region and in the way those effects play in front of the horizon, which always precisely bisects his frame.
		The horizon is central to Sugimoto's work; it describes the contact between Earth's surface and the ether and is also a metaphor for the bounds of our mental and visual perception.
