Kazuo SumidaA Train (from the series A Story of the New York Subway)2002
2002
About the Item
11 x 14 inch gelatin silver print.
Edition 15. Signed on verso.
Kazuo Sumida first visited New York in 1995. He found the city to be one of “both bustle and silence,” particularly the underground world of the subway, where he encountered “a place full of characters.” By 2002, he had produced a large body of work of images taken in this subterranean metropolis – tender scenes of lovers and children; gritty portraits of beggars for whom the subway is home; artists, musicians, commuters, and others who pass through the tunnels on their daily journeys. The resulting monograph, A Story of the New York Subway, was published in 2002.
Sumida was born in 1952 in Kochi Prefecture in southern Japan. Although photography was not his formal career, Sumida has pursued the art throughout his life. He graduated from Osaka Photography Graduate School in 1983, and also studied at the International Center of Photography in New York, on a fellowship from the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs. He lives in Japan, and continues to visit New York frequently.
His work has been shown at the Tokyo Ginza Kodak Photo Salon and the Tokuyama City Museum of Art in Japan. In 2013, the Chicago Art Institute acquired and exhibited several images from his series entitled Notes from Underground: Memories of My Uncle, which now reside in their permanent collection.
