Kaoru Saito Manicure Mezzotint Fashion Lady Art Print
Lot # 10104 (Sale Order: 5 of 517)
This mezzotint artwork portrays a woman with a luminous gaze. The title calls attention to her fingers, which point in a different direction, giving balance to her delicate pose. Artist: Kaoru Saito Title: Manicure Date: 1989 Medium: Mezzotint Signed and numbered Edition of 93 Size: 13 1/8" x 11 1/4" Condition: Excellent Retail gallery price 600 USD Certificate of Authenticity included This is a stylish image, and a fine mezzotint. Kaoru Saito is basically self-taught in the mezzotint process, yet he is considered to be one of its most accomplished technicians. It is an extremely difficult, labor-intensive and rarely practiced print method, including scratching hundreds, if not thousands of passes across a metal plate until the entire surface has a rough, uniform texture. The plate would print solid black if it were now run through the press. A burnishing tool is then used to rub smooth the areas which will print from gray to white. Mezzotint rewards the skilled practitioner with subtle shading and incredible graphic detail. Images in this series that include color were printed with additional, aquatint plates. Saito, now in his 70s, was born and still lives in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan.
Mikio Watanabe LE Art Mezzotint Nude SUITE II
Lot # 10105 (Sale Order: 6 of 517)
"During the slow process of engraving, as I scrape the burrs that I have incised on the copper plate and then polish it, the sensitivity which lies inside me can be revealed. Giving shape and light to what was before absolute darkness, I try to feel this universe of purity which exists deep inside the human body," says the artist Mikio Watanabe. Perhaps it is this deeply felt process that makes Watanabe's mezzotints so beautiful: Title: "Suite II" ("Series II") 1990 Mezzotint on BFK Rives Numbered from a limited edition of 75, plus XXX Roman Signed in pencil in the margin LR Sheet: 11 × 15 Image: 3¾ × 5¾ Very good condition; tiny spot in the background to the left of the image Certificate of Authenticity Watanabe creates a mezzotint by repeatedly pressing a curved, serrated mezzotint rocker over the surface of a copper plate until has received many thousands of tiny indentations from this tool. This procedure is extremely time-consuming — most of the plates take 70 - 80 hours to produce — but plates made this way yield velvety blacks that can be obtained no other way. After the entire surface of the plate has been roughened, scraper and burnishers are used to raise tones of gray and white. Mikio Watanabe (Japan, b. 1954) completed his studies in Tokyo in 1977 and settled in Paris, where he learned engraving techniques at the Atelier 17. Since 1981, Mikio Watanabe has focused on mezzotint and his works can be found in many public collections including Bibliotheque National in Paris, the Central Academy of Art, Kuala Lumpur and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Exciting Manon Elder RIDE WITHIN Motorcycle Art Canvas
Lot # 10118 (Sale Order: 19 of 517)
Popular "moto" artist Manon Elder created this compelling and collectible limited edition motorcycle art print: "Ride Within" Giclée on canvas 20 × 38 Limited edition of 200 Signed by the artist Excellent condition; never mounted, matted or framed Certificate of Authenticity This biographical information is from the artist's web site: Manon Elder's initial travels into motorcycle art started in 2001 when the subject of a portrait sitting asked to be painted on his Harley. She obliged and was surprised by her attraction to painting chrome surfaces and mechanical intricacies. Intrigued by the relationship between motorcycle and the rider, Elder — a portrait painter for 15 years before that — saw the glimmerings of a new path open up. She found that the motorcycle culture resonated with her own desire to experience new adventures in new locations. "In 2003, Elder had a chance to pursue this new inspiration and did so with an enthusiastic vengeance. She has immersed herself in understanding the essence of the riding experience: the relationships between the bikes, the riders and the landscapes they travel through. "Before a photo is taken or a brush dipped in paint, Elder gets to know the riders and their bikes. She focuses on capturing the energy of the moment as well as the multitude of details that must be accurately rendered on canvas. While paintings are in progress, many of her motorcycle-rider subjects offer her guidance to ensure the authenticity of their bike's structure. Attention to detail is a hallmark of her work." A wonderful addition to any collection or décor!

In Paris , she came up with a special embossing technique on many of his lithographs to accentuate his striking use of lines.

She held numerous exhibitions of his paintings in her gallery, and his limited editions and posters were on view year round.
