Namio Harukawa Gallery Exclusive

Because Harukawa passed away in 2020, original pieces are rare, and the rights to his estate are tightly managed. In the context of his work, a "gallery exclusive" typically refers to specific, authenticated releases:

A clear pattern emerges from recent auction listings. Many of Harukawa's limited-edition print runs were exceptionally small, often limited to as few as 15 copies worldwide. For example, a lot of three lithographs from his "Pissing" series was numbered 7/15, 11/15, and 15/15. Similarly, a lot of two lithographs from his "Face Sitting" series was numbered 8/15 and 13/15. To find a print numbered 1/15 or 2/15 is a significant find for any collector, as these are the very first impressions pulled from the edition. namio harukawa gallery exclusive
