Junichiro Sekino Signed Limited Ed. Japanese Woodblock Print Flowers & New York

About the Item

A truly wonderful and highly coveted limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist/printmaker Junichiro Sekino. This large print, titled "Flowers and New York (or conversely "Sunflowers and Skyscrapers")", is one of Sekino's most desirable works. A very colorful and dynamic composition, this work features the New York Manhattan skyline of the late 1950s seen across the river and juxtaposed against a foreground of a field of blooming sunflowers. The print is signed in ink and sealed in red within the image by Sekino and also hand pencil numbered (97/100) by him in the lower margin. This print can be found in the Harvard Art Museum. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N. Y., the Art Institute Chicago, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, the British Museum, and the Portland Art Museum among many other Fine museums throughout the world. A very rare/hard-to-find work. Quite engaging. A must for collectors of Sekino's work. Would be a fantastic addition to any Mid-Centy Modern or modern Japanese print or art collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting once framed. Sheet dimensions: 25" high, 36" wide

  • Junichiro Sekino Signed Japanese Limited Edition Woodblock Print Aquarium
    By Junichiro Sekino
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderfully composed and richly colored, limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino. This print, which is titled "Aquarium", is signed and sealed/ stamped in red at the lower right. We believe this was created in 1956 although it could have been made in 1946 (there are some conflicting dates on this image but we assume 1956 is correct) and comes from a limited edition of 50 prints (the exact number of this particular print and date/year is likely listed in pencil below the matt but we have not removed the print from the frame to confirm the exact number/year). The very image is widely considered by many Sekino critics and scholars to be one of Sekino's masterpieces. It is an exquisite and rare/hard-to-find work. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N. Y., the Art Institute Chicago, the Museum of Fine Art, Boston, the British Museum, and the Portland Art Museum among many other Fine museums throughout the world.

  • Junichiro Sekino Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Print Rooftop View
    By Junichiro Sekino
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A wonderfully composed and richly colored, limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino. This relatively large print, which is of a rooftop view of a temple shrine in Japan (perhaps Nagasaki as he did a similar print in 1975 but perhaps Kyoto or Tokyo) is hand pencil signed, sealed / stamped in red, numbered (18/128), and dated (1972). The image is likely from Sekino's coveted rooftop series that he did featuring various rooftop patterns from around the world including Japan and Italy. An exquisite and rare / hard-to-find work. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N.

  • Junichiro Sekino Signed Limited Edition Japanese Woodblock Print Girl in Poncho
    By Junichiro Sekino
    Located in Studio City, CA
    A truly wonderful and extremely rare limited edition woodblock print by famed Japanese artist Junichiro Sekino This print of a pensive young girl dressed in a poncho and hat (likely in Mexico or Central/ South America) is hand pencil signed, sealed/ stamped in red, and numbered (appears to be 12/98 or 19/98) by Sekino. The image features a uniquely sparse composition and rich vibrant colors - very representative of the country this was likely initially conceived in. An exquisite and very rare/hard-to-find work. We have not seen this particular image ever come to the marketplace. Junichiro Sekino was largely considered, along with Kiyoshi Saito, to be one of Japan's paramount 20th-century master print artists. Both were prominent leaders of the Sosaku Hanga movement. Sekino's works can be found in many museums including: The Museum of Modern Art, N.
