Yukio Katsuda, born in Kyoto in 1941, is a contemporary printmaker renowned for his vibrant silkscreen prints.

“Hors Commerce,” which translates to “out of trade” in English, refers to prints that, like Artist’s Proofs (APs), are not part of the standard edition. However, HCs are exclusively obtained directly from the artist. Due to their rarity, HCs are considered the most valuable among special edition prints.
