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.
An untitled work by Sugiura Kazutoshi recorded without a descriptive title in the source database, this woodblock print exemplifies the artist's technical synthesis of traditional and contemporary printmaking methods. Born in 1938 and trained first as a classical Japanese painter, Sugiura brought the sensitivity of nihonga training to the printmaking medium, his botanical subjects rendered with an observational precision grounded in years of study. The layered quality of his prints — built up through multiple passes of woodblock ink, silkscreen pigment, and gold leaf — gives the surfaces a richness that distinguishes his work from more conventionally produced flower prints.
