AKIO NAGASAWA Gallery announces the opening of Sarah Moon’s exhibition “NOW AND THEN”.
Having started photographing while working as a model in the 1960s, Sarah Moon embarked on a career as a professional photographer in 1970.
The delicately ephemeral illusionary sceneries she has been consistently depicting since her debut in the world of photography have been fascinating audiences around the world as embodiments of genuine beauty.
On display this time are new works and older color and black-and-white prints of fashion, animal and landscape photos, based on Moon’s own selection and configuration of exhibits.
Surprisingly considering Moon’s long career, this will be her first solo show at a commercial gallery, so don’t miss this rare opportunity!
