Huge Japanese Print, Sydney Opera House, Kimura; Several years back, Japanese printmaker Risaburo Kimura undertook a mammoth project, to create prints reflecting the major cities of the world. One of the most spectacular was his depiction of Sydney, Australia. The opera house looms in the foreground, with Sydney harbor under a Van-Gogh-esque sky. The print is in excellent condition, never framed; minor creases in the margins, common with prints this large. Measures about 28 x 20 plus large margins. Pencil signed and numbered. |
