The lithograph brings that line back to paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo hooded figures sit close together, their heads bowed toward each other, wrapped in looping black strokes that pool around them like water or like hair, while a dark swirl hangs overhead. Touches of blue run through the lower loops. Most of the sheet is left open and pale, which gives the pair its sense of quiet intimacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe edition notation is pencilled at lower left and the signature at lower right. In the photograph the edition number is masked by a small black block.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chiharu Shiota\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Between Us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithograph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40, as stated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offered as hand-signed and numbered in pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 x 50 cm (25.6 x 19.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize as stated; please allow a gentle margin of about 1 to 2 cm (0.5 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnused; opened once to check its condition, then stored flat as a sheet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribed as in good condition overall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eA (near unused)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered as hand-signed and numbered from the edition of 40, as described; this has not been verified by an outside authority, and a team of curators reviews each piece from photographs before it is offered.
