How to Bid!
Elizabeth Keith was born in Scotland in 1887. She probably would never have become the artist we know today, if her sister had not married a publisher in Japan.
Elizabeth Keith - Biography
Over the last decades a new technique how to create a multicolor woodblock print has emerged and become widely used by Chinese printmakers. The process is called reduction woodblock printing or sometimes also no-waste printing. All colors are printed just out of one block which is recarved for each color. Thus the original block is destroyed during the creation process and further copies beyond the first edition are impossible.
Chinese Reduction Woodblock Prints
The prints that we offer in our online auctions do not come from our stock - we have none - but from real consignments by collectors, dealers and artists. You pay only for what we sell - a commission on the hammered price. There are no other fees involved. And we pay fast (typically within 2 weeks).
PS: A shipment from the US or Japan to us (Germany) is uncomplicated - WE handle all import procedures.
