$500–$8,000. Common later works: $500–$1,500. Key value factors: His enormous output (lived to 102) means most works are accessible. Early black-and-white prints are most valued.
A stone bodhisattva from the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. — one of the Smithsonian's Asian art collections that Hiratsuka visited regularly during his Washington residence — is rendered in his direct woodblock manner. The 1971 print documents a museum object rather than a monument in situ, Hiratsuka finding in the gallery's stone sculpture the same formal interest he brought to temple sites.
