After Yoko's death, I didn't want to photograph anything but life--honestly. Yet every time I pressed the button, I ended up close to death, because to photograph is to stop time. I want to tell you something, listen closely: photography is murder. Nobuyoshi Araki

The current lot, 353, 101 Works for Robert Frank was made in 1993, three years after the death of Araki's beloved wife, Yoko Aoki.
The compilation of 101 black and white images is based on a unique scrapbook that Araki gave to Robert Frank during his visit to Japan for the opening of his retrospective exhibition in Yokohama.
Collectively the works present an emotional mosaic, some unapologetically explicit, shot indoors of wide-eyed ingenues in rumpled bedclothes or in bondage, others are more comfortably mundane, almost abstract in nature--still-lifes with tiny plastic dinosaurs, children in Tokyo alleys, the city's skies and Araki's cat Chiro.

Only five complete sets of Araki's masterpiece are believed to be in existence.
