Art Trader Curator's Note:
Art Trader presents a critical entry into the Superflat lineage: Aya Takano’s "Anthem (Detail)." As a founding member of the Kaikai Kiki collective alongside Takashi Murakami, Takano’s market is firmly established. This release is not merely a print; it is a portal into her 2014 surrealist narrative, now codified in a strictly limited edition of just 70 worldwide.
Collector's Focus: Asset Analysis
-
Critical Scarcity (Edition of 70): This is the primary value driver. An edition size of 70 is exceptionally low for an artist of Takano's global stature. Availability in the secondary market is projected to be virtually non-existent once these initial units are absorbed by private collections.
-
Material Weight (550gsm): The tactile quality of this piece is superior to standard editions. Printed on 550gsm laminated paper, the artwork has a rigid, object-like presence that far exceeds the industry standard (typically 300gsm). It feels substantial and permanent.
-
Hidden Signature: The artist has integrated her signature organically within the curve of the white wave, a subtle detail that distinguishes this authentic edition from unauthorized reproductions.
Broker Verified: Condition & Authenticity
Art Trader’s New York team has verified this asset for the discerning collector:
-
Surface: Mint. The laminated surface is free of scratches or handling marks. The pink hues of the dreamscape are vibrant and saturated.
-
Edges: Sharp. The heavy 550gsm card-like edges are perfect, with no corner bumping.
-
Provenance: Guaranteed. Includes the original Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The edition number matches the artwork and documentation.
