For more than three decades, Hiroshi Sugimoto (b. 1948, Tokyo, Japan) has defined what it means to be a multi-disciplined contemporary artist, blurring the lines between photography, painting, installation, and most recently, architecture. His iconic photographs have bridged Eastern and Western ideologies, tracing the origins of time and societal progress along the way. Beginning in 1975, Sugimoto launched what David Elliot, in his essay The Faces of Infinity, called “the artist’s fundamental trinity of genres out of which all of his other works has grown.” Sugimoto’s subject matter for these three series—the Dioramas, Theaters and Seascapes—are activated and connected by the power of time. Whether ephemeral, concrete or indefinable, the concept of time is a fundamental aspect of Sugimoto' s work.

Hiroshi Sugimoto' s work has been widely exhibited on an international level. The artist is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Praemium Imperiale Award for Painting, (2009), the Hasselblad Foundation International Award (Hasselblad Honor) (2001) and the International Center of Photography, 15th Annual Infinity Award for Art, New York (1999). The artist has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. His work is in numerous public collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; The National Gallery, London; The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Smithsonian Institute of Art, Washington, DC, and Tate, London, among others.

Hiroshi Sugimoto lives and works in New York City.
