Hiroshi Sugimoto: Photographs of Joe
May 12, 2006

When the artist Hiroshi Sugimoto visited the Pulitzer in 2003, he initially intended to take photographs of the building, which was designed by his fellow countryman Tadao Ando. However, he quickly focused on Richard Serra's Joe, a torqued spiral sculpture that was commissioned for the Pulitzer courtyard. Using a photographic technique involving areas of extremely soft light and blurred darkness, he sculpted views that seem like aspects of visual memory. Sugimoto’s photographs of Joe and the sculpture itself are quintessentially parallel creations. The arts of photography and sculpture overlap and memories of the two- and the three-dimensional mix. Nineteen of Sugimoto’s photographs comprised the exhibition.
