Magical images that defy time from the grand master of conceptual
photography. Through his expansive exploration of the possibilities
of still images, the internationally renowned artist and
photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto has created some of the most
alluringly enigmatic photographs of our time; pictures that are
meticulously crafted and deeply thought-provoking, familiar yet
tantalisingly ambiguous. Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine is a
comprehensive survey of work produced over the past five decades,
featuring selections from all of Sugimoto’s major photographic
series, as well as lesser-known works that illuminate his
innovative, conceptually-driven approach to making pictures. Texts
by a collection of international writers, artists and scholars -
including Geoffrey Batchen, Edmund de Waal, Mami Kataoka, Ralph
Rugoff, Lara Strongman and Margaret Wertheim - will highlight his
work’s philosophical yet playful inquiry into the nature of
representation and art, our understanding of time and memory, and
the paradoxical character of photography as a medium suited to both
documenting and invention.
Celebrating the generous gift of Barbara Hepworth's plasters to The
Hepworth Wakefield by the Hepworth Estate, this groundbreaking
publication combines a fully illustrated catalogue of the
sculptor's surviving prototypes in plaster, and occasionally
aluminium, with a detailed analysis of her working methods and a
comprehensive history of her work in bronze. In addition, insights
into the building which will be home to the collection are provided
through essays exploring the history of The Hepworth and, in a
contribution by David Chipperfield, the design of the new museum by
his architectural practice. A fascinating account of the sculptor's
connections with Wakefield Art Gallery also features. The
Hepworth's collection of over 40 unique, unknown sculptures are the
surviving working models from which editions of bronzes were cast.
They range in size from works that can be held in the hand to
monumental sculptures, including the Winged Figure for John Lewis's
Oxford Street headquarters. The majority are original plasters on
which the artist worked with her own hands and to scale. Providing
a unique insight into Hepworth's working processes, on which little
has been written, Barbara Hepworth: The Plasters will enhance
appreciation of her work as a whole. Drawing extensively on
archival records and photographs, this publication is an important
source for information about a significant collection of work, the
gallery which houses it and Hepworth in general.
