Dear Colleagues,
We are currently in the process of renovating one of our buildings and the library collections held there, including our sales catalogues, were moved offsite and are inaccessible.
We are looking for a scan, including photographs (preferably in color), of this object:
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861)
A hanging scroll, ink and colour on silk, of a standing bijin holding a letter, signed Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi ga and sealed Kuniyoshi (sometimes referred to as simply, “standing bijin holding a letter”)
Japanese Art and Design
14 May 2008, London
Sale 7582
Lot 351
It is listed on Christie's site, but lacks photography: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/prints-multiples/utagawa-kuniyoshi-utagawa-kuniyoshi-5078549-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intObjectID=5078549&sid=cdb86861-be25-4cf9-9cd0-a9e754409a68.
The same situation exists at ArtNet.com
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Traci
