Lot Notes
Working in a style which has been called "photographic cubism",Tetsu Okuhara first came into wider public awareness in 1978 withthe inclusion of his original maquette for Susan in Mirrors andWindows: American Photography since 1960, an exhibition curated byJohn Szarkowski at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Thefragmentation in Okuhara's work may be explained in part throughhis displacement as a boy from his home in Los Angeles to aninternment camp in Colorado during World War II. A threadthroughout much of his work is a sense of history and a journeythrough time, recalling past experiences, all neatlycompartmentalized, yet flowing together to recall a greater whole.The spiritual and altar like quality of many of his works may beinfluenced by Okuhara's interest in the formalism of Karatecombined with his practice of yoga, which together form a moreabstract collage effect.
His work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museumof Art, New York; The Art Institute, Chicago; The San FranciscoMuseum of Modern Art; and The Museum of Modern Art, New York, amongothers. He has been the recipient of many awards including, twoN.E.A. Grants and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
The original maquette for this edition of Susan, 1971 is in thecollection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York along with anexample from this edition of ten.
