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.
Created in 1987, this woodblock print bears catalog number 956, marking the continuation of Funasaka's numbered series into its third decade of production. The 1987 date represents a slight temporal advance from the concentrated burst of 1986 works, suggesting sustained creative momentum. Funasaka's compositions from this period build on the geometric vocabulary established through hundreds of preceding works, each numbered print adding a new permutation to an ever-expanding lexicon of form. The absence of an edition number in the catalog record may indicate this was a unique impression or that edition information was not recorded at the time of cataloging. The geometric abstraction likely employs the clean planes, controlled color, and implied spatial depth that characterize Funasaka's mature woodblock practice.
956 was created by Yoshisuke Funasaka (舩坂芳助) in 1987.
