Published by TASCHEN in 2014, “Araki by Araki” is the definitive retrospective of Nobuyoshi Araki’s prolific career. Selected by the artist himself, this volume distills decades of work into a dense visual narrative of “Love and Death.” The collection delves deep into Araki’s most iconic imagery: from the gritty, high-energy streets of Tokyo to his deeply personal “I-photography” and his world-renowned kinbaku (bondage) series. Featuring an interview by Jérôme Sans, the book allows the photographs to speak for themselves, capturing the vulnerability, defiance, and intense emotional landscape that have made Araki one of Japan’s most influential and controversial modern masters.
