...limited nature of photographic realism is just one of the weighty themes explored in this exhilarating exhibition, which runs in Tokyo until Jan. 9 before moving to the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. and then to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas. The retrospective spans 30 years, incorporating 104 of Sugimoto's best works, pieces that bring fresh insight to philosophical dualities such as permanence and transience, perception and experience, time and nothingness. While Sugimoto, 57, has been the focus of one-man shows at the Guggenheim in Bilbao...
