Description

When this portfolio was publicly released in 2001, only 25 of the complete edition of 250 were produced. Those first 25 sold quickly and the portfolio was listed as “sold out” while we determined the feasibility of completing the edition. In honor of Eikoh’s 75th year, we were pleased to present for sale the balance of these exquisite portfolios.

About the Artist

Eikoh Hosoe (b. 1933, Yonezawa, Yamagata, Japan, d. 2024, Tokyo, Japan) is an integral part of the history of modern Japanese photography. He emerged in the experimental art movement of post-World War II and is known for his high-contrasted photographs of human bodies and exploration of subjects including death, erotic obsession, and irrationality. Hosoe was a driving force for his own work and his efforts as a teacher and ambassador, fostering artistic exchange between Japan and the rest of the world. Eikoh Hosoe is represented by Howard Greenberg Gallery, New York, and Michael Hoppen Gallery, New York.
