About the Item

Kumi Sugaï, "Ciel et le Ciel" – Op Art lithograph, 1970, signed & numbered 78/100 A bold and rhythmic composition by Kumi Sugaï, a leading Japanese artist of the Parisian avant-garde. A monumental band of cerulean blue folds in sharp zigzags around a white field and sets up a strong optical tension. Inside it, a vermilion sun and a half-cobalt sphere hang in perfect balance, each tied to a soft pink bar that fades into fine, airbrush-like grey shading. The contrast between crisp flat color and delicate tonal gradients gives the print real depth and a sense of movement. Limited edition lithograph, numbered 78/100 and signed by the artist in pencil. Printed in Japan on heavy, fine wove paper with deckled edges. Dimensions: H 65 cm x W 50 cm (H 25.6 in x W 19.7 in), sheet size. Kumi Sugaï (1919–1996) was born in Kobe and trained in Osaka. In 1952 he moved to Paris, where he became a key figure among Japanese artists working in postwar Europe. He began in the gestural abstraction of Art Informel, then turned in the 1960s to a hard-edge language of flat color, bold geometry and graphic symbols, blending Japanese design sensibility with Western modernism. He exhibited internationally, including at the Venice and São Paulo Biennales, and is represented in major museum collections in Japan and Europe. Op Art (optical art) emerged in the 1950s and 60s and was named in 1964. It uses geometry, contrasting color and line to create optical effects such as vibration, depth and movement. The movement was defined by the 1965 exhibition "The Responsive Eye" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, with Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley as leading figures. Its clean graphic language shaped 1960s and 70s design and remains very popular with collectors of mid-century modern interiors. Why it works in a collection A graphic, colorful statement piece from Sugaï's peak period. The strong blue frame makes it work well in modern, minimalist and mid-century interiors, and it pairs well with Italian design from the same era.
