Kumi Sugai – “Direction Change” (1991) – Extra-Large Original Lithograph – Hand-Signed – Edition of 100

【Description】

A dynamic and visually striking original lithograph by the internationally celebrated Japanese master of abstraction, Kumi Sugai (1919–1996).
Created in 1991, “Direction Change” represents a powerful work from Sugai’s mature period.

The composition is defined by bold geometry and intense contrast, combining vivid red and neon pink tones that evoke movement, speed, and structural tension—hallmarks of Sugai’s late abstract language.

Printed on an impressive extra-large sheet (900 × 610 mm), this work reflects Sugai’s transition into his final “S” series, in which he explored the visual vocabulary of road signs, urban space, and architectural forms. Its commanding scale and graphic clarity make it an outstanding focal piece for a modern or contemporary art collection.
