Subject:Utamaro print
Posted By: Ken Sun, Nov 30, 2014 IP: 71.54.243.73 I have a Utamaro print that is part of an estate. I have an appraisal that was done in 1980 along with a pamphlet of the series it came from. I am trying to determine if it is original, and what it might be worth so I figure the right venue to sell it. I believe it to be titles "pensive love" from the series selected poems |

Posted By: j lewis Sun, Nov 30, 2014 There seems to be some water damage low on the bottom margins. Can't tell if it affects the picture. The colors lead me to believe this is a reproduction, of which there are many. |

Posted By: james Sun, Nov 30, 2014 Hi.From first glance probably a 20th century restrike worth about 50 bucks. With some closer pictures I would be able to tell for sure. |

Posted By: Stan Sun, Nov 30, 2014 Here is a link to an original (Reflective Love (Mono omou koi), from the series Anthology of Poems: The Love Section (Kasen koi no bu)) from the Boston MFA. You'll have to compare it to yours. Your tiny picture makes it impossible to compare from here. |

Posted By: Marc Kahn Wed, Dec 03, 2014 What an interesting letter that Lawrence Feitlinger sent to Carol Locke in 1980! It is, of course, absolute nonsense, and serves to remind us that the "experts" are not always what they seem to be. |
