Hiroshi Sugimoto: Conceptual Forms

A flawless copy of the illustrated catalogue for the 2004 exhibition of works by the great Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto held at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain in Paris. This was the first museum presentation of the body of work known as Conceptual Forms: large scale photographs of antique mathematical models, used to help students visualise complex trigonometric functions in the 19th century. The series was created in part in response to Marcel Duchamp’s The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even.
