Japanese design and culture magazine ‘Casa BRUTUS’ has featured ‘Hiroshi Sugimoto: The End of Time’ in its August issue, bringing fresh attention to the photographer’s current exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. The magazine’s coverage includes venue photographs by Mikiya Takimoto, along with additional images published exclusively online.
The article presents the exhibition as a major survey of Sugimoto’s photographic practice and notes that it is his first solo exhibition in Japan devoted specifically to photography in 21 years. According to the museum-related source material, the show runs from July 5 to August 31, 2026, in Tokyo.
Sugimoto’s work is described in the magazine as spanning 13 series from his early career to the present, including new works. The feature frames the exhibition as a wide-ranging look at the artist’s trajectory rather than a narrow thematic presentation, with the issue’s online version extending the print coverage through web-only images from the exhibition space.
The ‘Casa BRUTUS’ piece also underscores the collaboration between the artist and Takimoto, who photographed the installation and the exhibition setting. The magazine credits the article’s visual material to Takimoto and identifies the feature as part of its August 2026 issue, dated August 1 in the online posting.
The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo is identified in the source material through the exhibition tag, while the magazine’s own presentation situates the story within its ART section. The feature headline asks, in Japanese, whether only silver-halide photography is disappearing, signaling the broader material and historical questions raised by Sugimoto’s work.
The exhibition remains on view in Tokyo through August 31, 2026, offering visitors a chance to see the 13-series presentation that ‘Casa BRUTUS’ describes as a rare domestic solo survey of Sugimoto’s photography.
