Sugimoto's second most well-known body of work, after the exquisite and minimal 'Seascapes,' are his 'Theaters.' Beautifully composed images of the interiors of historic movie theaters and the surroundings of small town drive-ins, Sugimoto records the scene during the length of a movie shown at the same time of the exposure. The result is magical--the screen radiates white light, casting a subtly diffused glow over the entire surroundings. The production level on this project is undeniably superb. Reproductions are quadratone on 100lb Mohawk Superfine paper; each clothbound volume is slipcased. There is also a separate 1000 copy limited edition, housed in a brushed aluminum case, which rivals Sugimoto's Time Exposed portfolio. Either volume is an unbelievable value.
About the Ltd Edition
This 1000 copy limited edition is housed in a brushed aluminum case and rivals Sugimoto's Time Exposed potfolio. Included is a limited edition of Sugimoto's "U.A. Walker, New York, 1978' photogravure print. The prints were numbered and signed by the artist, and are cased in a custom-made, piano hinged, brushed aluminum box. The image (approx 11-1/2x17-1/2") was printed on acid-free BFA paper and is 21-1/2x17-1/2" in size. The book is not signed and numbered, only the print.
