Hiroshi Sugimoto has two recurring obsessions: history and time. This series of large-scale black-and-white photographs dissolves the lines between time, memory, and history in icons of modernist architecture as disparate as the United Nations Headquarters by Wallace K. Harrison, Luis Barraagan's Satellite Towers, the Saint Benedict Chapel by Peter Zumthor and Minoru Yamazaki's World Trade Center. Fine. Item #50077
