Hiroshi Sugimoto

This beautiful, large-scale photograph by Sugimoto is from his series of architectural pictures that capture the essence of the design and spirit of famous buildings across the world. To Sugimoto, these blurred images represent the ideal form these structures took in the mind of the architect before the inevitable introduction of human flaws caused by construction and literal use transformed the structure. These photographs are homage to the great capabilities of the human mind and markers of the limitations of human capability. With this series, Sugimoto fully commits himself as one of the most significant photographers of our time. Many institutions, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City and the Tate Gallery, London, collect Sugimoto's work internationally.
