Asian Collection Internet Auction

Cataloged with a reference to an auction source, this woodblock print by Konishi Seiichiro is one of his works that entered the secondary market through Asian art dealer channels. Konishi's prints circulate in the international market for contemporary Japanese prints, a field that expanded significantly from the 1960s onward as Western collectors developed an appetite for postwar Japanese art. His abstract compositions, built from clean geometric forms and carefully modulated color, appeal to collectors who value technical precision and visual clarity. The woodblock medium gives his prints a material presence that distinguishes them from screen prints or lithographs, as the impression of carved wood into dampened paper creates a subtle surface texture visible under raking light.
