Up for auction is an Original Hand-Drawn Sketch and Autograph by the world-renowned Japanese architect and Pritzker Architecture Prize laureate, Tadao Ando (b. 1941). This unique artwork is drawn directly on the inner page of an official book from the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art (designed by Ando himself).
