Kyohei Inukai
(American, 1913-1985)
Untitled (Night Sky)
Oil on linen
32" x 42"
There are two tags to the reverse: A craft paper tag in the top left reads "Property of Andy Warhol," and a white paper tag to the top right reads "Art Gallery New York / 530 West 25th St. / New York, NY 10001 A/W." Though there is a gap in the provenance between the present owner and Art Gallery New York, that gallery was known to have worked directly with the estates of artists including Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Kyohei Inukai was a Pop and Abstract artist with numerous solo exhibitions in New York throughout the 1960s and 70s.

There is a very small area of cracking to the paint layer in the top right, and some paint touch-ups to the night sky in the top left quadrant visible upon blacklight inspection.

If packing and shipping is required, we can provide you with a list of recommended shippers by request. You will be responsible to contact, arrange shipment, and pay 3rd party shippers. Circle will not be responsible for loss or damage of purchased lots handled or shipped, nor for acts and omissions, by 3rd party shippers, whether recommended by us or not. Circle will not release the lot for shipment until payment has been made in full and a buyer’s written shipping authorization form has been received. Winning bids may not be retracted, canceled or rescinded due to issues with shipping including, but not limited to, costs or prohibitions. It is the responsibility of the bidder to account for shipping prior to bidding. Failure to Pick Up & Storage: Winning bidders must pick up or have lots shipped within 15 calendar days of the close of the auction. On the 16th day from the close of the auction Circle has the right to charge the winning bidder a storage fee of $5 per lot per day. Lots that have been paid for, but remain on our premises sixty (60) days from the close of the auction may be sold by Circle, with no notice to the buyer. Any funds in excess of the purchase price, commissions, applicable costs, and storage fees will be remitted to the original winning bidder.
