A former calligrapher, Sugai fused the precision of Japanese line work with the gestural freedom of Western abstract expressionism. By the 1960s and 70s, he developed his signature style—hard-edged forms and vibrant, almost Pop-like palettes, often referencing signs, symbols, and urban dynamism.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSugai exhibited extensively at major international venues, including the Venice Biennale (1956), and his work is held in prestigious collections such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the National Museum of Modern Art (Tokyo).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA rare opportunity to acquire a signed, limited edition work by an artist who bridged East and West with effortless originality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Very good.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCost of insured transport to the US is Euro 125.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe ship worldwide.
