Noriyuki Haraguchi (1946–2020) - Sin título nº 3 HAR 49

oriyuki Haraguchi (1946–2020) — Represented at TEFAF Maastricht 2026 by Fergus McCaffrey (Stand 333) Title: Untitled No. 3 Year: 1983 Technique: Mixed media on paper (pigment and lead) Dimensions: 69 × 97 cm (work) — with the gallery Juda Rowan's original frame Signature: Signed and hand‑written note on the lower right margin; handmade numbering on the lower left margin Work type: Unique work belonging to a series (not a multiple edition) Description: A large-format work from Haraguchi’s mature period, a key figure of the Mono‑ha movement. It presents a dark central mass with a monolithic character, irregular textures and controlled abrasions that evoke industrial structures and the tension between weight and fragility, one of the artist’s conceptual axes. The use of lead on paper is characteristic of his inquiry into materiality, energy, and void. The piece maintains an essentialist and forceful aesthetic, fully coherent with his 1980s production. Condition: Excellent. Paper stable, no visible acidity; original materials intact; signature and annotations perfectly legible; original frame in very good condition; no visible restorations. Provenance: Juda Rowan Gallery (London) → European private collection. Frame: Supplied with the gallery’s original frame, an element that reinforces authenticity, provenance, and presentation. Institutional context: Haraguchi is represented in top-tier institutions: Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT), National Museum of Modern Art Tokyo (MOMAT), National Museum of Art Osaka (NMAO), Tate Modern (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Stedelijk Museum, MoMA (New York), LACMA, Walker Art Center, Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, MUDAM Luxembourg. In 2026 he returns to TEFAF Maastricht represented by Fergus McCaffrey, reinforcing his blue‑chip status. Famous collectors and owners: Haraguchi works are part of elite collections such as Fondazione Prada, Bernard Arnault / LVMH – Fondation Louis Vuitton, Panza di Biumo Collection, Rachofsky Collection, Margulies Collection, Benesse Art Site Naoshima, Ishikawa Collection, and Kazuo Okazaki Collection. This collector pedigree markedly increases international demand. Unique work of institutional and private interest. Especially attractive to postwar Japanese art, Mono‑ha, and industrial materiality collectors. The combination of uniqueness, provenance, original frame, material, period, institutional pedigree, elite collectors, and TEFAF 2026 presence—and always—place it as a highly sought‑after piece in prestigious European auctions.
