Title
Kumi Sugai – “S PRINTEMPS” – Hand-Signed Lithograph – Edition 99 – Framed – 1970s
Description
Thank you for your interest.
This is an authentic lithograph titled “S PRINTEMPS” by the internationally acclaimed Japanese abstract artist Kumi Sugai (1919–1996).
The work belongs to Sugai’s celebrated “S” series, one of the most iconic motifs of his career. The “S” symbolizes both the artist’s surname and the concept of speed, reflecting the dynamism, rhythm, and modernity that characterize his mature artistic language.
After relocating to Paris in the 1950s, Sugai developed a distinctive visual style that successfully merged Eastern precision with Western geometric abstraction. His works are held in major museum and private collections worldwide and remain highly sought after by collectors of post-war and contemporary art.
“S PRINTEMPS” is a striking example of Sugai’s refined graphic vocabulary, featuring bold forms, vibrant colors, and a sophisticated balance of movement and structure.
Professionally presented in an acrylic frame, the artwork is ready for immediate display and would make an impressive addition to any collection, home, office, or gallery space.
