Description

Leafing through Matters, the monograph of Noritoshi Hirakawa's black and white photographs published in 1998 by Deitch Projects, one never knows what to expect when one turns the page: a Tokyo street scene, a pile of potatoes, a man groping beneath a woman's skirt, a pile of excrement, a waterfall, a New York street scene. His images range from the mysterious to the obvious, the erotic to the mundane - and never fail to surprise. Hirakawa has shown at Deitch Projects, New York; Gabriele River, Cologne; Galerie Emmanual Perotin, Paris; Wako Works of Art, Tokyo; Zeno X Gallery, Antwerp; Galerie d'Endt, Amsterdam; Florence Lynch Gallery, New York; and many other galleries and museums worldwide. — F.to: 18x23; pagg. 62; BN; rileg. rigida.
