His heads and bodies have made him one of the most distinctive Japanese artists of his generation, shown internationally and collected widely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntitled 1 reproduces one of his great frontal heads. The crown is a swirling mass of colour, white, mustard, violet and teal, with small coloured spheres floating above it like planets against an oxblood ground. Two large ringed eyes look straight out. The image is split across two stacked panels, so the face joins below the eyes, where a long nose of yellow, red and orange runs down to a red mouth, the cheeks dark blue against black hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the white foot of the sheet, PERROTIN and IZUMI KATO are printed in small capitals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Izumi Kato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Untitled 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Offset print on paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unsigned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSheet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 x 40 cm (23.6 x 15.7 in), portrait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrame:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unframed; any frame seen elsewhere is not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew and unused; kept flat as a loose sheet since purchase, never framed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo marks or creases are described.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photograph is part of the description.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eS (unused, as new)\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 an edition print of 300, unsigned, as the page states; we present it as exactly that.
