Key value factors: For living or recently deceased artists, limited edition size and gallery representation drive value. Signed and numbered prints from smaller editions are most desirable.
White Marks 61 H.S., a 2012 ink-on-paper woodblock, inverts the premise of the earlier Black Marks by focusing on the absence rather than presence of ink. In woodblock printing, white marks are created by carving away the surface so that no ink transfers, making the paper itself the mark. Yoshida's sixty-first exploration of this reversal examines how the unprinted areas of a sheet carry as much visual information as the printed ones. The H.S. suffix codes the specific conditions of this proof, but the real subject is the empty space, the carved-away portions of the block that leave the paper untouched and speaking.
