Description from the seller

Title
Kumi Sugai – ETOILE (Star) – Hand-Signed Screenprint, 1976



Description
An original screenprint titled “ETOILE” (Star) by internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Kumi Sugai.

Created in 1976, this work exemplifies Sugai’s signature Hard-edge style, defined by bold geometric forms and striking contrasts of color.

Sugai was a prominent figure in the post-war Paris art scene, and his works are held in major museum collections worldwide, including Museum of Modern Art and Centre Pompidou. His art uniquely blends Japanese precision with Western abstraction, resulting in a refined and highly recognizable visual language.

This piece features a vivid composition of red and green geometric shapes set against a neutral background, creating a strong visual impact despite its minimalist structure.

The embossed seal of “Gendai Hanga Center Tokyo Japan” (owl mark) is present in the lower right corner, confirming it as an officially published print from this respected workshop.

Hand-signed “SUGAI” in pencil and numbered 62/200.

A highly collectible work for collectors of Japanese modern art, geometric abstraction, and mid-century design.
