Contemporary Japanese Art Prints - July 31, 2005
Dear friends of Japanese prints
Bidding for auction # 199 is open on
www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp with 36 contemporary
prints by 36 different, leading Japanese artists. The auction will
close coming Tuesday, August 2 at 8:00 PM local time = 2:00 PM in
New York.
Online auctions of Japanese Edo and Meiji prints and shin and sosaku
hanga have been popular since the late 1990s. But contemporary
Japanese prints have remained a neglected field for online sales.
We think it is a pity. Many people have no possibilities to see
contemporary Japanese prints in a real gallery. In Europe for
instance - please correct us if we are wrong - there is to our
knowledge only one gallery specialized in contemporary Japanese
prints - Galerie Pleser in Munich.
We did our best to present you an interesting collection by leading
Japanese artists with works that span 4 decades. It is a test, and it
is in the hands of you, our clients, if we will be able to establish
online auctions of contemporary Japanese prints as a permanent event.
We will see.
In our BUY OUT section on
www.artelino.com/auction/catalog.asp?evt=190&eve=15&spe=0 you find
graphic works by German printmaker Konrad Volkert (1906-1999).
In our view one of the greatest German printmakers of the 20th century.
The British Museum has works by Konrad Volkert in their collection.
