About the Item
Signed Daido Moriyama artist book: Daido Moriyama Farewell Photography:
Daido Moriyama’s 1972 photobook Farewell Photography was one of the most influential photography books ever released. This striking, beautifully rendered re-publication, designed by Satoshi Machiguchi in close cooperation with Moriyama, makes for a timeless, limited edition Moriyama collector's piece.
The book includes a companion magazine with a retrospective essay by Moriyama as well as details and backgrounds for each single photobook (compiled exclusively for this publication). The English edition of the companion magazine opens with an edited English translation of Daido Moriyama’s conversation with Takuma Nakahira, originally included in Japanese in the 1972 release and never before translated.
Photo book with silkscreened cover printed on canvas (122 pages).
Dimensions: 12 × 9 inches.
Hardcover. 280 pages. Published 2019.
Hand signed by Moriyama on the interior front page from a limited edition of 1000.
Excellent overall condition.
Daido Moriyama has a self-proclaimed obsession with cities. In his mid 70s now, his work still shares the same inclination to record his surroundings as his earliest pictures, taken during the dramatic transformation of 1960s post-war Japan. Moriyama used his camera to document the American military occupation of his country and the dissolution of traditional values experienced alongside accelerated modernization. In a process he maintains today, Moriyama shot with a small hand-held automatic camera, rarely with attention to the viewfinder (firing his shutter as if by machine gun). In his depictions of city life, Moriyama documents cultural change and chaotic urban experience, typically in grainy, black-and-white, high-contrast images, which he prints himself. Early influences include photographers Weegee, and William Klein, all who shared a similar affection for the dynamics of city life.
“Photography is a medium open to everyone.” Moriyama states. “However, at present, original prints are sold upon request of the art market, often produced as a limited edition. I think this is the opposite of the original essence of photography. For this reason, I usually don’t add editions to my works. The value of a photograph is not higher if produced in a limited edition and lower if produced in larger quantities. No matter how many copies of an amazing photo are printed, its artistic value won’t be diminished. On the contrary, isn’t printing and distributing large numbers of photos around the world the best way to show the potential of photography? That said, it rarely happens that I issue a special edition of a photobook or any edition for a specific purpose, but since the purpose of this sale is to support Aperture, I decided to limit the edition and offer these prints at a lower price than usual.” (source: Aperture Foundation)

Daido Moriyama
Daido Moriyama (b. 1938) is a renowned Japanese photographer celebrated for his raw, grainy, and high-contrast black-and-white images that capture the gritty, chaotic energy of post-war urban life in Japan. Born in Osaka, Moriyama began his career as a graphic designer before turning to photography in the 1960s, influenced by the avant-garde Provoke movement, which sought to challenge traditional notions of photography with an expressive, unpolished style. Moriyama's work often focuses on the darker side of city life, portraying fleeting moments of alienation, desire, and transience in Tokyo’s streets. His iconic series, Farewell Photography (1972), and his book Shashin yo Sayonara, pushed the boundaries of photographic convention, using blurred, out-of-focus images to evoke the fragmented nature of memory and modern existence. His career has spanned over six decades, and he remains a vital figure in contemporary photography, inspiring generations with his provocative and innovative approach to capturing urban reality.

John Baldessari:
It is hard to characterize John Baldessari's varied practice—which includes photomontage, artist’s books, prints, paintings, film, performance, and installation—except through his approach of good-humored irreverence. Baldessari is commonly associated with Conceptual or Minimalist art, though he has called this characterization “a little bit boring.” His two-dimensional works often incorporate found images, composed in layers or presented as distinct pieces with an element of surprise, like a brightly colored geometric shape in the place of a face or a starkly printed sardonic caption. Baldessari has demonstrated a lasting interest in language and semantics, articulating these concerns through the use of puns or the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated images and words, as in his 1978 work Blasted Allegories. His self-referencing photomontages and use of text have been sources of inspiration for countless artists, including Cindy Sherman, David Salle, and Barbara Kruger. Baldessari identifies his own artistic lineage, saying, "I would prefer to go to the source with Duchamp rather than credit Warhol as an influence."
