Daido Moriyama

Vintage Prints

19 January – 23 February 2013

Galerie Bob van Orsouw take great pleasure in hosting a solo show of Japanese artist Daido Moriyama. In view of Moriyama’s 2012 retrospective at Tate Modern, the show presents vintage prints from the past four decades, some of which have never been shown in public.

Daido Moriyama is the most celebrated photographer to emerge from Japan’s late 1960s Provoke movement, and one of the country‘s top contemporary photographers. In the 1960s and 1970s, his highly textured, dramatically contrasted images took Japan‘s photography scene by storm. At age 73, his work continues to record the dynamics of city life. His portraits, still lifes and cityscapes are darkly lyrical and testify to his obsession with uncanny realms of experience.
