Time of Omens IV, a large silkscreen of 1989 by Tadanori Yokoo, signed by the artist from an edition of 150, the image 111.5 x 71.5 cm (43.9 x 28.1 in), offered in its frame with the shipping crate.
The Piece
Tadanori Yokoo, born in 1936, made his name as the graphic designer who turned Japanese posters inside out in the 1960s. After the Picasso retrospective at MoMA in 1980 he declared himself a painter, carrying the same visionary charge into myth and dream.
Time of Omens belongs to that painterly decade. Figures and beasts in electric blue, green and violet twist through a field of yellow light, laid down screen by screen at a scale few prints attempt.
The sheet is signed by the artist, from an edition of 150. The image measures 111.5 x 71.5 cm (43.9 x 28.1 in) and the frame 139.5 x 96.5 cm (54.9 x 38 in); the wooden crate is in good order.
