Oversized abstract mixed media print on heavy embossed paper titled "Yin-Yang" by Taiwanese artist Liao Shiou-ping (born 1936) dating circa 1980. Pencil-signed, numbered 7/50, and pencil-titled in Chinese and English in the lower margin. Very good overall condition with minor soiling and paper discoloration to the front, sight creasing and toning of the edges, and toning to the back. Paper size: 29 7/8" x 22". In the 1970's, Liao was invited by the Japanese government to set up a printmaking workshop in Japan. Liao's mixed media prints are typically included among works by Japanese printmakers. After working in France and the U.S., Liao returned to Taiwan where he is widely considered to be the father of modern printmaking in Taiwan. A color illustration of Liao's work and a write-up on the artist can be found on pages 166 & 167 of "Collecting Modern Japanese Prints Then & Now" by Mary and Norman Tolman, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Vermont & Tokyo, 1994.
