Woodblock Prints Title: Fireworks

1st Publication: 1959

Condition: Mint. The print is backed, but this was originally backed as per the artist's choice. Excellent colors, impression and overall condition

Notes: This is some of his rarest work, with only 20 copies printed. This particular print is not even referenced in the Catalogue Raisonne. (Maybe in the next edition?)

The paper is watermarked in the upper left corner. and backed as per the artist's choice, probably as the paper used to print was not strong enough to sustain the weight of the paper of his large prints.

Pictures: Pictures are taken outdoor, in the shade, to reflect true colors, without any enhancements of any kind. The last picture is taken indoor, with a light behind the print, to reveal the exact paper grain, holes if any, or other possible flaws.
