Hiroshi Sugimoto: EXTINCTION at The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo

The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo is set to present a major solo exhibition called HIROSHI SUGIMOTO: EXTINCTION from June 16 to September 13, 2026. Curated by Rei Masuda, this showcase features a wide range of Sugimoto's photography, including works from Dioramas, Theaters, and Seascapes to Portraits and Photogenic Drawings. The theme, EXTINCTION, delves into concepts of time, memory, and the disappearance of natural and cultural aspects. Notable pieces include Galapagos (1980) and U. A. Playhouse, New York (1978), alongside newer works like Opticks 075 (2018) and CAMERA MAN (2026). A historical Dior piece from 1947 will also be displayed. The exhibition is backed by Gallery Koyanagi and includes a dedicated website for further exploration.
