A catalogue for the exhibition Nobuyoshi Araki: Vintage Prints, held at Taka Ishii Gallery New York in April 2018 with Alison Bradley Projects and published by Dashwood in cooperation with the gallery. It reproduces in full all 21 vintage prints on show, spanning the first two decades of Araki's career, from the early 1970s, after he left advertising, to 1990, with images from series such as LIFE (later retitled Tokyo, in Autumn), Pseudo-Diary, Tokyo Story and The First Year of HEISEI. The selection moves between the architecture of the city and intimate subjects such as portraits of his wife Yoko and his cat, intertwining life and death, and reaches 1990, the year of Yoko's death, after the death of the Emperor Hirohito in 1989. The pages show women in stockings and in the nude, a portrait of a young woman with a fringe and still lifes of flowers in white vases, with the date stamps left on the prints.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
