Description:

Rectangular illustrated envelope featuring bold horizontal bands of yellow and red against a white upper field, creating a strong graphic backdrop for the autographs. Each signature is placed separately, allowing clear identification and strong display appeal. The envelope shows light handling wear consistent with age, including minor surface marks and natural paper toning. The overall visual presentation is highly decorative and well-suited for framing.

Historical significance:

This work serves as a compelling bridge between Yoichiro Kawaguchi's pioneering legacy in computer graphics and his exploration of contemporary pop-minimalism, utilizing sharp, high-contrast aesthetics to deconstruct human facial features into a digital-age iconography. By isolating the provocative, side-glancing gaze within a stark black-and-white framework, Kawaguchi transcends his typical biomathematical models to confront the viewer with a "New Expressionist" gaze that captures the avant-garde spirit of Japanese contemporary art. The extremely limited edition of only ten prints further underscores the rarity of this piece, marking it as a significant intersection where early digital mastery meets traditional printmaking exclusivity.

Valuation:

Fully signed Beatles memorabilia remains consistently desirable within the fields of music history and modern cultural collecting. Market performance is influenced by autograph strength, balance and spacing of the four signatures, medium type, condition, and visual presentation. Items that display each autograph clearly and attractively, particularly from the group's mid-1960s peak period, continue to command sustained international demand among collectors of premier rock artifacts.
