History of History (L'Histoire de L'Histoire)
History of History (L'Histoire de L'Histoire)
By Hiroshi Sugimoto. Signed first edition, first printing. Published by Japan Society/Smithsonian in 2004. Sugimoto’s photographs play with our perception of time. With this collection, he reassembles history; he lends it his egalitarian, universal POV. This edition coincides with the artist's major retrospective exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum.
