$500–$4,000. Common prints: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: Kaneko's vivid, pop-influenced prints have a wide international following. Colorful figure compositions are most popular.
Happy Tabi 3, edition 34 of 200 from 2005, is the third variation in the specifically "happy" subset of Kaneko's broader tabi series. The joy expressed in the title is reflected in the color choices: vivid, warm, festive — the traditional split-toed sock transformed by Kaneko's pop sensibility into something celebratory. His ability to generate emotional warmth from a mundane object through strategic color and graphic composition demonstrates the particular intelligence of his approach to traditional Japanese material culture.
Happy Tabi 3 was created by Kunio Kaneko (金子國義) in 34/200, 2005.
Happy Tabi 3 depicts still life, daily life, and abstract.
