The Stephen Cohen Gallery is pleased to announce, Candid, an exhibition of photographs by renowned Japanese photographer, Daido Moriyama. Candid will include recent color works, as well as black & white images from throughout the artist’s career. The exhibition will be held in conjunction with Fracture, Moriyama’s exhibition with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This will be Moriyama’s second showing with the Gallery.

Known as a prolific street photographer, Moriyama’s 35mm images highlight the gritty, everyday experience of life in Japan. The work depicts mysterious strangers, animals prowling the streets, hidden alleyways, evocative sexual advertisements, window scenes from commuter vessels, and occasionally the unambiguous self-portrait. Throughout his body of work, there is the sense that Moriyama is capturing a feeling of isolation.
