Text engl. - Other ed.: Dt. Ausgabe. - The reproductions by Robert J. Hennessey are absolutely exquisite. Incl. exhibition history and bibliography. Published on the occasion of an exhibition of commissioned work at the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin (traveled to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York). - From the publisher: "[Sugimoto's] new series presents life-size, b/w portraits of historical figures - Henry VIII and each of his wives, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, Oscar Wilde, and Emperor Hiroshito, among others - photographed in wax museums, isolated against black backgrounds, and dramatically lit so as to create haunting Rembrandtesque images."
