Araki Meets Hokusai - Nobuyoshi Araki, Hokusai - 1st Edition, Kehrer, 2008

About the Item

First Edition, published by Kehrer Verlag & Kestnergesellschaft, Germany, 2008. With two volumes, one for each artist, housed jointly in a slipcase, this is a brilliant pictorial dialogue between two of Japans most famous artists, the contemporary photographer Noboyushi Araki, and the Edo period painter and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai. Bridging the gap between centuries of Japanese artistic production, combining classical Japanese woodcarvings from the Thun collection, with the provocative sexual material of Araki, allows for subtle allusions to erotic desire and sexuality within Hokusai to shine through. Two hardback volumes without dust jackets as issued, in publisher's original slipcase. Text in English and German, both volumes illustrated copiously in colour throughout.
