FOCUS Members Exclusive Reception and Tour

Tuesday, January 31, 6–8:30 pm
Japan Society, 333 East 47th Street
The Japan Society cordially invited ICP FOCUS Members and other young patrons of New York museums to a special reception and tour of Hiroshi Sugimoto: History of History. One of the most internationally acclaimed Japanese photographers today, Hiroshi Sugimoto is best known for his photographic series of empty movie theaters and drive-ins, seascapes, dioramas, and wax museums. This exhibition united Sugimoto's exquisitely minimalist works, selected from the photographer's past and most recent series, with fossils, artworks, and religious artifacts drawn from his own collection. The result was an extended exploration of time, life, and spirituality as perceived in the contexts of nature and history. Please note that this event was reserved for FOCUS Members. Contact us to upgrade your membership.

Thursday, January 5, 6 pm
