About this work
Yoshitomo Nara's "Beh!" (2003) is a lithograph on paper depicting the artist's iconic child figure — a deceptively simple motif that has become one of the most recognisable images in contemporary art. The lithograph process suits Nara's idiom particularly well, preserving the soft, slightly waxy quality of his drawn lines while allowing for faithful colour reproduction. Produced in 2003, this work dates from a pivotal period in Nara's career, when his international profile was expanding rapidly and his imagery was attracting serious institutional attention. Yoshitomo Nara prints for sale are consistently in demand from collectors worldwide, prized for their combination of emotional directness and formal economy. The child figures that populate Nara's work carry a complex charge — deceptively cute on the surface, they conceal undercurrents of defiance and melancholy. Guy Hepner is pleased to offer Yoshitomo Nara for sale to collectors seeking access to one of the most significant artists of his generation. Available for sale at Guy Hepner Gallery, New York.

About Yoshitomo Nara
Yoshitomo Nara
Yoshitomo Nara (b. 1959, Hirosaki, Japan) stands as one of the most influential figures in contemporary Japanese art, whose deceptively simple portraits of wide-eyed children—at once innocent and subversively defiant—have become icons of the Neo-Pop movement. Trained in Düsseldorf and deeply influenced by punk rock and anime culture, Nara creates works that resonate across cultural boundaries, commanding an international collector base and record-breaking auction results. His paintings, drawings, and sculptures are held in major museum collections worldwide, cementing his position as a defining voice in 21st-century art.
