$2,000–$15,000. Common subjects: $2,000–$4,000. Key value factors: As a living artist continuing the shin-hanga tradition, Binnie's prints are investment-quality. Limited editions and larger formats are most valued.
An on-site pencil sketch of the Acropolis documents Binnie's process of direct observation that precedes the transformation of a subject into woodblock print. The specificity of "on site" matters: this is not a studio reconstruction from memory or reference photographs but a drawing made in the presence of the subject itself — the preliminary act of visual attention that underlies all the prints in his travel series. The Acropolis's ancient limestone and its Mediterranean light enter this sketch through the artist's direct encounter with the place.
