"#6 1972" -NOBU FUKUI -Abstract Serigraph -Signed & Numbered -14/100
#6 1972 by Nobu Fukui is an abstract serigraph that beautifully embodies the vibrant pulse of an artistic revolution. This striking piece, signed and meticulously numbered 14/100, captivates the eye and imagination with its exquisite range of rich tones, featuring deep browns intermingled with shimmering golds that dance across the surface. Measuring a generous 27x22 inches, it stands as a true statement of artistic ambition that deserves a prominent place in any collection. Fukui, still considers himself -in part-a product of the avant-garde Gutai Art Association, channels an energetic and animated style that has garnered him widespread acclaim since the 1960s. The New York Times has heralded his work as both intense, energetic and dynamic, reflecting a continuous drive and passion that has only grown more pronounced and captivating over the years. This artwork, quietly stored for over five decades in the nooks and crannies of a retired NYC Manhattan gallery, not only showcases Fukui's rhythmic grid-like patterns but also whispers enchanting stories of his significant collaborations with the artistic giants of his era (including the composer John Cage, Christo, sculptor Isamu Noguchi and Robert Raushenberg). With each glance at this extraordinary piece, one might evoke a profound sense of connection to the creative discussions that flourished between Fukui and his contemporaries, creating a magnificent bridge between East and West that resonates deeply within the ever-evolving art world, a true homage to the spirit of innovation.
