$2,000–$20,000+. Common lithographs: $2,000–$5,000. Key value factors: As one of Japan's most celebrated modern artists who lived to 107, Shinoda's work has a large, devoted following. Original sumi paintings far exceed print prices.
Printed in 1985, TotalCount is an unusual title in Shinoda's catalog, more suggestive of enumeration or accounting than the natural and emotional themes she typically favored. The woodblock print may represent a reckoning of sorts, a tallying of forms or experiences translated into abstract composition. At seventy-two, Shinoda had accumulated decades of work and could justifiably look back over a vast body of prints. Whether the title references something personal, mathematical, or purely aesthetic, the print itself communicates through the same visual language she spent her life developing: bold ink shapes held in careful equilibrium on open paper.
