Typical Price

A landmark in Japanese printmaking, "Impression of a Violinist" is among the earliest abstract prints produced in Japan. This historically significant work commands $3,000-$12,000 at auction. Editions were vanishingly small, and exhibition provenance from major institutions can push prices well beyond the typical range.
