The glitter-embedded silkscreen works introduce and immortalize these exalted yet often-overlooked rulers into the Western artistic canon.

In his Polaroids, the photographer and artist Nobuyoshi Araki captures fleeting moments of love, sexual expression and lust staged against an ever-present backdrop of mortality and existential struggle.

He is especially renowned as a chronicler of the times, whose works have shone a light on the changing sexual attitudes of his society.
