Saturday, 19 March 2005 Offered for your consideration is this very attractive vintage woodblock by Japanese artist Kaoru Kawano. The handsome and nicely made wood frame measures 23 3/4" x 30 3/4. The subject measures 16" x 22 3/4" and is marked (signed) in pencil: 15/100 CONVERSATION KAORU KAWANO. The print has not been removed from the frame; to do so would require destroying the original period frame. The overall condition is VERY GOOD!! The only issue that merits mentioning is upon close examination one can see VERY LIGHT foxing spots (SMALL, light brown spots) in the white areas……it's not a serious matter, just be aware. Overall it's a crisp, clean woodblock with excellent color! Remember that the print is under glass, so any distorations and/or issues that you may think you see it is simply light reflectioning from the glass. I have provided several digital images to give you a fairly good idea as to what is being offered and the overall condition. |
