Ikon Ikon Nobuyoshi Araki: Tokyo Still Life

This catalogue accompanied Nobuyoshi Araki's 2001 exhibition Tokyo Still Life.

Nobuyoshi Araki (アラーキー) is one of Japan’s most influential and prolific photographers. This exhibition presented a new selection from the vast range of work he has been making since the 1960s. In addition to his controversial erotic photographs, it also included still lifes, urban landscapes and other portraits, in order to exemplify universal themes of sensuality and mortality through distinctly Japanese subject matter.
