Kiyoshi Saitō’s Montmartre Paris (B) (1966) is an exceptional collagraph that reflects the artist’s modernist approach to texture, form, and atmosphere. Numbered 17/20, this scarce edition showcases Saitō’s ability to merge Japanese sensibility with the quiet charm of Parisian streets. The richly embossed surface, geometric structure, and subtle tonal contrasts are hallmarks of his collagraph technique, giving the work a tactile, architectural presence.

This piece remains in its original frame from Saitō’s Boq‑Kanda Gallery, adding a rare layer of provenance and authenticity. The gallery frame complements the print’s mid‑century aesthetic and preserves the artist’s intended presentation. A remarkable and collectible work for admirers of Japanese modern printmaking, European cityscapes, and Saitō’s distinctive fusion of East and West.
This piece was dormant in south Mississippi for over five decades and most likely had one past owner. See less
