Published on the occasion of the 2004 exhibition Daido Moriyama: Vintage Prints at the Shine Gallery and Michael Hoppen Gallery, London. An unusual very large format and appropriate unique design to showcase an extraordinary range of Moriyama's work. One of the finest and hauntingly perfect catalogues of Moriyama's work published in years. From the publisher: "A collection of rare vintage prints from Moriyama's own personal collection, providing a substantial body of work from the 1960's, 70's and 80's previously unseen in public. A stray dog is caught in strong shadows against a high-contrast background, piercing the viewer with an unwavering gaze. The best-known image of Moriyama, it encapsulates perfectly the detached observation and raw, unsettling style of this highly influential Japanese photographer. Along with Eikoh Hosoe and Kikuji Kawada, Moriyama has gone from being one of Japan's most radical and rebellious photographers to being one of it's most celebrated and important visual artists today the Japanese equivalent of Robert Frank. After important retrospectives at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Shimane Art Museum and Kashiro Art Museum, Japan, Moriyama will be showing at the Fondation Cartier." (Antiq.
