WHISPERING BREEZE – Etching by Miki Nagano, 1980. Signed and numbered 6/100, this 17x22" print is a truly rare and precious gem salvaged from a retired Manhattan art gallery’s secret stash, carefully stored away and lovingly preserved for over 40 years. Nagano’s work is nothing short of a soulful dance with nature—skillfully capturing the gentle whisper of the wind, the ever-shifting clouds, and the intangible, magical glow of early morning light. Using a unique and innovative approach, she masterfully transforms multicolor lithography into delicate monotypes, layering multiple plates to create a luminous depth and overlapping hues that shimmer with vibrant life. Born in Japan and artistically refined across several global art hubs, Nagano’s prints resonate deeply with echoes of memory and fluid motion, offering a tactile journey through air, light, and the ever-changing landscape. This exquisite piece carries her signature blend of poetic nostalgia and technical artistry, a shimmering breath of New York’s rich cultural past lovingly preserved in every intricate line and nuanced shade.
