Following the period with exclusive focus on painting between 1973 and 1975, Sugiura started a new practice of combining painting and photography, calling it Photopainting. Tip was made in the period when the artist produced photopaintings most prolifically. The work uses photographs she took from a ferry ride at night. It shows buildings at the “tip” of Manhattan including the World Trade Center. The blue canvas at the center complements the two photographs by providing the color of water to the black-and-white nocturnal cityscapes.
