Scope and Content Note

From the Sub-Series:

The work of Eikoh Hosoe, Shomei Tomatsu, Masahisa Fukase, and Daido Moriyama helped define Japanese photography in the years following the Second World War. Michael Hoffman, Adjunct Curator, Alfred Stieglitz Center, and Mark Holborn, Editor of Aperture, chose works by each artist for an exhibition of 160 photographs. First installed at the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford, the exhibit toured throughout the United States until 1988. The exhibition and catalogue are supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Arts Council of Great Britain, The Japan Foundation, and The Pew Memorial Trust.
