Detail: Utagawa Kuniyoshi, best known for his warrior prints, was a creative wellspring who designed works of graphic impact in every ukiyo-e genre. The graphic power of Kuniyoshi forms the DNA of modern Japanese manga, and he could elucidate the crux of an entire story in a single scene. Our exhibition also includes a number of unique preparatory ink drawings by Kuniyoshi, all with stellar provenance. We will of course also be bringing our curated selection of fine 18th-20th century Japanese prints by other ukiyo-e and shin hanga artists for viewing.
This year we will see clients by appointment at our suite at the Conrad New York Midtown, March 18 and 19. Easily book an appointment online on our website beginning February 20. Works from the exhibition will also be available for purchase online at egenolfgallery.com.
