【Description】

This striking silkscreen titled “DIRECTION-2” is a quintessential work by the internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Kumi Sugaï (1919–1996).

Living and working in Paris for much of his career, Sugaï became a key figure of the Nouvelle École de Paris, later developing his signature minimalist and geometric visual language inspired by traffic signage, movement, and the speed of modern urban life.

This work features bold primary colors combined with dynamic black-and-green striped elements, clearly reflecting the Hard-edge aesthetic that brought Sugaï international recognition and awards at major biennials worldwide.
“DIRECTION-2” is a strong, iconic example of his mature style and is highly regarded among collectors of postwar Japanese and European modern art.
