About the new work “AGEHA”

I have compiled 24 works presented at the solo exhibition "AGEHA" held in 2018 into a book. I felt that the 24 works exhibited at that time had a common world, a story, and a history. I feel like it's better to wait quietly for this world, but I also feel that there's something wrong with closing this world off with just the space and time of an exhibition, and leaving it in its peripheral form. I thought I'd leave it there.

The world and events depicted here may be the wonders of visible time in the visible world, or they may be your own.

I would like people to see and read it not only in the limited time of the exhibition, but also as an independent painting or as a collection, in the time when they are here, going here, and stopping. I will entrust it to you in the form of a book.

(64 pages / original drawings limited to the collection, with case) Sanae Sugimoto's collection "Release the Stone"

Cross-bound square spine binding

Original drawings limited to works collection

Release the Stone' is a collection of 25 artworks drawn for Sanae Sugimoto's solo exhibition, currently being held at gallery Kasper in Japan. The art book is published in a limited edition of 300 copies. The depth of the painted work truly makes it a beautiful book.

Each book comes with one original drawing and the artist's accompanying text also leaves a deep impression.

In the United States, this collection will be available for pre-order only at Anzu for a limited time and in limited quantities.

The deadline is December 10th, and the total number to be currently sold in the U.S. is limited to 10 books.
