{"product_id":"nobuyoshi-araki-polart-2009","title":"Polart — Nobuyoshi Araki \/ Red Hot","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"103\" data-end=\"521\"\u003ePublished in 2009 in a limited edition of 1,500 copies, \u003cem data-start=\"159\" data-end=\"167\"\u003ePolart\u003c\/em\u003e is Araki in pure gesture: a book of Polaroids selected and sequenced by the artist himself, edited in collaboration with the now-closed Red Hot Gallery in Paris and printed in Japan by Huboya. The cover, white and abrupt, is emblazoned with Araki’s handwriting — a bold, gestural typography that suggests the intimacy and immediacy of the images inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"928\"\u003eKnown for his prolific use of instant film, Araki used the Polaroid not just as a camera but as a diaristic tool — sensual, direct, obsessive. \u003cem data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"674\"\u003ePolart\u003c\/em\u003e distills that practice into a carefully paced flow of Polaroid works, unbound from chronology, unified by tone. These are not studio images, but fragments of affection, desire, and absence — emotional snapshots arranged with an artist’s feel for rhythm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003eThe book is both an archive and an object of its own: printed with striking technical precision (by Dai Nippon Printing), it’s an important artefact of Araki’s later period and a testament to his ongoing dialogue with photobook form. A must for collectors of Japanese photography, rare editions, and the fleeting language of the Polaroid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1289\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1304\"\u003eTitle: Polart\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1338\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Nobuyoshi Araki\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1350\"\u003eDate: 2009\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Offset (printed in Japan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover with dust jacket\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1456\" data-end=\"1489\"\u003eEdition: Limited edition of 1,500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1491\" data-end=\"1501\"\u003eSigned: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1537\"\u003eDimensions (cm): Approx. 19.5 × 30\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1539\" data-end=\"1567\"\u003eLanguage: None \/ Image-based\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1569\" data-end=\"1642\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Nobuyoshi Araki \/ Red Hot Gallery, Paris \/ Huboya Art\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1644\" data-end=\"1658\"\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51754746380626,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_1.jpg?v=1768338650","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/nobuyoshi-araki-polart-2009","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
