Big time Araki - Size does matter! This book reveals everything about me. It's been a 60-year contract. Photography is love and death-that'll be my epitaph. Araki The first title in our new TASCHEN limited series is Araki, an enormous and unique book with a print run of only 2,500 copies.

The subject is Japanese photographer Araki, a man who talks about life through photographs. His powerful oeuvre, decades' worth of images, has been pared down to about 1,000 photographs which tell the story of Araki and comprise the ultimate retrospective collection of his work. Known best for his intimate, snapshot-style images of women often tied up with ropes (kinbaku, Japanese rope-tying art) and of colorful, sensual flowers, Araki is an artist who reacts strongly to his emotions and uses photography to experience them more fully. His work is at once shocking and mysteriously tender; a deeply personal artist, Araki is not afraid of his emotions nor of showing them to the world. XXL-Format: 34.5 x 50 cm 13.4 x 19.7 in.
