$500–$5,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Tajima's powerful abstract prints have appeal among both Japanese print and modern art collectors.
"Evidence A" (Sekizo A), 1963, belongs to Tajima's early mature period, when he was developing the layered abstract language that would define his international reputation. The word "evidence" frames the abstract marks on the print as documentation — records or traces of some prior event or presence, now visible only in distorted, fragmentary form. The geological connotation of the Japanese title (sekizo = stone figure) suggests the durability and weight of evidence that persists even as the original event recedes.
