1-10726-09, series , Title: "Takashi Homma: Tokyo"

Description:

A key figure of Japanese contemporary photography, Homma’s sleek vision of Tokyo and its suburbs navigates a finely nuanced line between cool objectivity and sentimentality. In line with Eugene Atget in Paris, Berenice Abbott in New York and more recently Ed Ruscha in Los Angeles and Daido Moriyama in Japan, Homma sharply records the evolution of Tokyo which has switched from a traditional culture to a postmodern megalopolis populated by a new generation of video game aficionados and enervated fashionistas. This first major international publication gathers images from his six previous titles published in his native Japan, including Tokyo Suburbia, his seminal work now considered a contemporary classic.
