Review
Photographer Nobuyoshi Araki combines richly colored photographs of flowers with distressed black-and-white images of life in Tokyo in his fascinating new book, Shijyo (Edition Stemmle). -- Harper's Bazaar, September 1998
Under the title Shijyo-freely translated as "marketplace of emotions"-the Japanese artist Nobuyoshi Araki presents a book with over 200 photographs arranged in a sequence of contrasting pairs. . . . The vivid color of the "Flower Series" stands in strange conrast to the dark mood of the black-and-white series called "Death Reality." This book represents his most recent works. -- Artforum, November 1998
