Catalogue Note
"Art History turned out to be important in Portraits. My objective this t.mes was to do wax portraits, and I became as fascinated in the history behind the figures as I was about the history of portrait painting and the history of the wax museum. The more I studied, the more interested I became." (In: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, Sugimoto: Portraits, New York 2000, p. 27)
