I just read that 2 Henri Bouvier velvet paintings has been sold for 12000 dollars wich is way more than leeteg's (that are around 2000 to 3000 dollars). He was a famous velvet painter in the 60's and 70's in Tahiti, and an ecologist politician active in the 70's. He died last year.

Here is a painting of him, "vahine tahiti" from 1962
