Ukiyo-e Woodblock Prints

One of the most iconic pieces of Asian art in the world is Katsushika Hokusai’s 1831 woodblock print, Under the Wave Off Kanagawa. In September 2020, this set the world record for the print by the artist when it sold for $1.1 million at Christie’s, breaking its previous record set in 2017 when it fetched $943,500, also at Christie’s.
