Please inquire about framing options. Hiroshi Sugimoto’s Seascapes series began in 1980. Traveling to remote oceans, seas and lakes around the world, he made these meditations on time, with a turn of the century large-format box camera and traditional black-and-white film. This work is an individual print from Sugmimoto’s Time Exposed portfolio which consists of fifty-one Seascapes taken between 1980 - 1991. Each print is a tri-tone offset lithograph from an edition of 500, printed in 1991 by Kytoto Shoin Co., Japan on the occasion of a Sugimoto retrospective at IBM (Tokyo) and the Carnegie International (Pittsburgh). The print is tipped along the upper edge to a mat with blind embossed title, date and plate number.
