Daido Moriyama

Michael Hoppen, London

Tights and Lips. new work by one of the giant's of Japanese photography, Daido Moriyama. This latest group of pictures entitled 'Tights' is the development of his famous earlier series 'How to Create a Beautiful Picture 6: Tights in Shimotakaido' of 1987, a small selection of images depicting close-up shots of legs in fishnets. The complete series now numbers 20. Our show coincides with a major exhibition at Tate Modern 'William Klein/Daido Moriyama' which will chronicle how these two artists have influenced each other, and how they have both explored the cities of New York and Tokyo in their celebrated depictions of modern urban life. Moriyama is known for his raw, gritty gaze, his portrayal of Japan's dark underbelly in the post-war era.
