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.
Following its immediate predecessor in Sugiura Kazutoshi's rose series, this tenth rose composition explores a slight variation on the formal and chromatic solutions of No. 9 — perhaps a different color of bloom, a different stage of opening, or a different relationship between the flower and the pictorial ground. Sugiura's habit of working in numbered series allowed him to document these incremental variations systematically, creating a record of his sustained engagement with each botanical subject. The gold-leaf application that characterizes his approach gives the rose a warmth suited to a flower whose associations in Japanese culture emphasize luxury and romantic feeling.
Rose No 10 was created by Sugiura Kazutoshi (杉浦和俊).
Rose No 10 depicts birds & flowers.
