Yutaka Sone: Perfect Moment was published on the occasion of the artist’s solo exhibition at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in 2011. The exhibition re-contextualized early video works, Night Bus (1995) and Birthday Party (1997), with Sone’s most recent sculptural works. This richly designed catalogue features a text by independent curator Mizuki Endo; interviews with Motoaki Hori, Chief Curator at the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, and Yuko Hasegawa, Chief Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo; and a letter from Jiang Zhi Xian, owner of the factory where Sone creates his marble sculptures in Chongwu, China.

Born in 1965 in Shizuoka, Japan, Sone studied fine art and architecture at Tokyo Geijutsu University. In 1999, the artist joined David Zwirner, where he had his inaugural United States solo exhibition that same year at the gallery in New York. In 2013, a solo exhibition of Sone's sculptures marked his first presentation at the gallery’s London location. On view January 7 through February 20, 2016 at 525 West 19th Street in New York, Day and Nightwas the artist's seventh solo exhibition with David Zwirner.
