Exhibiting seminal works from Japan’s Golden Age of photography, Michael Hoppen’s Frieze Masters booth provides a snapshot of one of the richest periods in the medium’s history ✨
. “This language broke all the rules, but there was a strong narrative thread running throughout. It was like listening to music. The more I listened, the more fluent I became. And through this fluency, I have been able to navigate my way around the various artists and estates over the years, so I am thrilled to be bringing these very special and rarely seen works to the table at Frieze Masters today.
A lively figure within Japan’s promiscuous avant-garde scene of the 60s, Eikoh Hosoe operated along an umbilical cord of radical creativity linking photography with performance at a time when the medium had yet to be fully assimilated within the fine arts in Japan. Pieces from two of his most legendary collaborations are on show here, testifying to the exciting ways he enlarged the field of photographic expression.
Last but certainly not least is Masahisa Fukase, who stands out as one of the most idiosyncratic and introspective photographers of his generation. As is the Japanese tradition, Fukase worked almost exclusively in series, making photo books such as that have gone on to represent high points in the genre. While there is an opportunity here to purchase prints from these two legendary series, the surprise is the special display of two late series comprised of what are essentially proto-selfies.
