Keiko Minami Signed Large Limited Edition Japanese Etching Print Birds and Reeds

About the Item

A beautiful and rather whimsical etching by famed Japanese artist Keiko Minami who was known for her pictograph-like aquatints/etchings with a playful, childlike aesthetic. This work features a pair of birds - perhaps herons - sitting serenely in a natural landscape reed-filled body of water as a gentle breeze blows by. The etching is on thick wove paper and is hand-signed and numbered (23/50) in pencil by Keiko along the lower margin. A rather rare image and size. Would make for a great addition to collectors of Minami's work or Japanese / Asian art or make for an eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting. Minami had many solo shows including: 1960 Minami Keiko Exhibition, Nichido Gallery 1990 Minami Keiko Exhibition: The World of Fairy Tales in Copperplate Prints, Takaoka Art Museum 2005 Birds, Trees and Girls: The World of Copperplate Poetry: A Memorial Exhibition for Minami Keiko 2011-12 100th Anniversary of Keiko Minami Exhibition — Touring Kyoto, Takaoka, Kichijoji, Sakura, Tatebayashi 2016 Keiko Minami Exhibition: Along with the Work of Ichi Ogawa in the Wind, Musée Hamaguchi Yozo/Yamasa Collection 2017 Keiko Minami Copperplate Exhibition: Holding a Flower Basket, Musée Hamaguchi Yozo/Yamasa Collection 2019 Keiko Minami Exhibition: Koto, Koto.

Toko Shinoda Signed Large Limited Edition Japanese Lithograph Print Moon, 1965
By Toko Shinoda
Located in Studio City, CA
Exquisite in design and execution. This work, titled "Moon", is by Japanese master printmaker Toko Shinoda (1913-2021) who is universally known for her merging of traditional Japanese calligraphy with modern abstract expressionism and use of Sumi ink. This print is hand-signed in pencil, titled, dated (1965), and numbered (3 /10) by the artist. It is from a very limited and small edition thus scarce and rare. Would be a great addition to any collectors of Shinoda's work or Japanese or Asian art or print collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent artwork in about any setting. Sure to draw attention. Shinoda's works can be found in numerous private collections and international museums including: Albright–Knox Art Gallery, NY Art Institute of Chicago British Museum, London UK Brooklyn Museum, NY Cincinnati Art Museum, OH Hakodate Museum of Art, Hokkaido Harvard Art Museums Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo, Netherlands Lehigh University Art Galleries Luxembourg Royal Collection Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), New York Museum fuer Ostasiatische Kunst, Berlin Museum of fine Arts, Boston Museum of fine Arts, Gifu Museum Folkwang, Essen Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY Museum of Modern Art, Toyama National Gallery of Victoria National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo National Museum of Singapore Niigata City Art Museum Singapore Art...

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. Would be a fantastic addition to any modern Japanese print...

Ed Moses "Ikuru Speak-No" Silkscreen Print Limited 223/250 Signed
By Ed Moses
Located in Van Nuys, CA
Recently deceased, world -renowned artist Ed Moses, created this unique Silkscreen print in 1990 for the California Heritage Museum. The print consists of two attached sheets of paper. The bottom sheet is hand made Seikishu rice paper. The top sheet is 100% acid-free rag paper. The image on the top sheet is a collage made from several Japanese newspapers that Ed designed. His similar LA Louver prints used real newspaper that over time self-destructed. A silkscreen print with bold red and black cross-hatching was designed after the two pieces were attached. This unframed piece is signed by the artist, dated and numbered, and each print has his unique “chop” mark on the bottom right hand corner and Wasserman’s Silkscreen Co. blind stamp. Bio Ed Moses earned his B.A. and M.A. from UCLA. He has received numerous awards, including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. Since his debut at the Ferus Gallery in 1958, Moses has had over one hundred solo exhibitions at some of the art world’s most prestigious galleries and museums, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and a major retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. His work was recently included in the show of Los Angeles Art at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Moses is represented by Charlotte Jackson...

Japanese Edo 19th Century Signed Utagawa Kuniyoshi Diptych Woodblock Print
Located in Yonkers, NY
An antique Japanese Edo period diptych woodblock print from the early to mid 19th century, signed by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. Immerse yourself in the Japanese Edo period artistry with this antique 19th-century diptych woodblock print. Signed by the artist, this captivating piece is a striking depiction of a tranquil interior scene, rendered in a soothing color palette of blue, pink, and black tones. This print comprises two panels, assembled under glass in a custom frame to form a cohesive narrative. The scene captures a specific moment in time, presenting a man surrounded by four women and a child, beautifully adorned in traditional Japanese garments. The intricate details of their clothing are a testament to the artisan's skill, bringing an element of authenticity and depth to the scene. On the left, three women sit in a state of relaxed conversation, while another stands, graciously offering a tray. Adding intrigue, two additional women can be spotted peeking through a slightly open window, one cleverly concealing her face behind a fan. A child, smaller in stature, sits attentively in front of the man, further enhancing the scene's narrative quality. A signature from the artist adds an additional layer of authenticity, making this piece a must-have for collectors of antique Japanese art...
