A monograph entitled Hiroshi Sugimoto was produced in conjunction with the exhibition. In 2006, a mid-career retrospective was organized by the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C. Portraits, initially created for the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin, traveled to the Guggenheim Bilbao in 2000 and the Solomon R. Sugimoto received the Photo España prize in 2006, was the recipient of the Premium Imperiale, Painting Award from the Japan Arts Association in 2009, and in 2013, the Officier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (The Order of Arts and Letters) from the French Government. He received the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography in 2001. Sugimoto has received a number of grants and fellowships, and his work is held in the collections of the Tate Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and the Metropolitan Museum of New York, among many others. Hiroshi Sugimoto still uses a turn-of-the-century box camera and he favors black and white photography. His series include 'Dioramas', 'Theaters', 'Seascapes', 'Architectures', 'Portraits', 'Conceptual Forms', and 'Lightning Fields', among others.

His art bridges Eastern and Western ideologies while examining the nature of time, perception, and the origins of consciousness. His work deals with history and temporal existence by investigating through a variety of subject matter issues surrounding time, empiricism, and metaphysics. Other works include, 'In Praise of Shadows' 1998 a series that’s based on Gerhard Richter’s paintings of burning candles, 'Architecture' series 2000 – 03 that consists of blurred images of well-known examples of Modernist architecture and 'Conceptual Forms' 2004 that examines Industrial Revolution-era mechanical models.Ī multi-disciplinary artist, Hiroshi Sugimoto works in photography, sculpture, installation, and architecture. These series have continued to the present day.

This series, like the 'Seascapes' and 'Theaters' series, was done between 19. Visiting the city’s American Museum of Natural History, Sugimoto was inspired for the first of his 'Dioramas' series. There he studied a BFA at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles in 1972. In 1971, he visited Los Angeles and decided to stay. After receiving a BA from Saint Paul’s University in Tokyo in 1970, he travelled to the West, first travelling to the Soviet Union and Poland before coming to Western Europe.
