Edited by renowned curator Mark Holborn, “Quartet” presents Moriyama’s early career as a single work in four movements. It traces his trajectory from the theatrical debut in 1968 through the nihilistic, boundary-pushing experimentation of “Farewell Photography” to his eventual return to photographic form in the 1980s. Presented in a striking slipcase, this publication emphasizes the physical presence of the images, utilizing intense blacks and vivid contrasts to recreate the “darkroom fumes” intensity of Moriyama’s vision. It stands as an indispensable resource for collectors and students of global photographic history.
