Short description of the item and its origin
This is a rare 1974 lithograph titled "Conception" by the renowned Japanese conceptual artist Shoichi Ida (1941–2006). Originally published as a special supplement in the Japanese art magazine Hanga Geijutsu (Print Art), Issue No. 7, this piece is numbered 2119 out of a limited edition of 8575. It features a unique mixed-media composition on heavy Japanese paper, incorporating embroidery threads and eyelets alongside the print. The work is signed and dated by the artist in pencil at the bottom margin.
Collector’s Value & Benefits
Shoichi Ida is a significant figure in post-war Japanese printmaking, known for blending traditional techniques with modern conceptual art. This specific work is highly collectible due to its experimental nature—combining printing with physical stitching—and its scarcity as a magazine supplement from the 1970s. It offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of art history that bridges the gap between graphic art and textile installation.
