Misawa, Aomori, 1971, from 'Another Country 18: Japanese City', 1971
This autumn, The Photographers’ Gallery presents the first UK retrospective of work by the acclaimed Japanese photographer, Daido Moriyama (b.1938). For the duration of this exhibition, the Print Sales Gallery is excited to offer the chance to purchase prints from Moriyama's entire catalogue of work, spanning from 1964 until the present day.
Featuring over 200 works, Daido Moriyama: A Retrospective traverses different moments of Moriyama’s vast and productive career, celebrating one of the most innovative and influential artists and street photographers of our day. Championing photography as a democratic language, Moriyama inserted himself up close with Japanese society, capturing the clash of Japanese tradition with an accelerated Westernization in post-war Japan. With his non-conformist approach and desire to challenge the medium, his work is tirelessly unpretentious, raw, blurred, radical and grainy and has defined the style of an entire generation. “Forget everything you’ve learned on the subject of photography for the moment, and just shoot. Take photographs - of anything and everything, whatever catches your eye. Don’t pause to think." – Daido Moriyama
