Yep.

That seller is in Salem.
I live in Wilsonville and work in
Portland (with "Tiki Mama" from here).

"LA Modern (Night)" has had its value jump a lot in a short time span.
WHY?
-Companion Piece to "LA Modern (Day)"
(instant demand jump, as folks now consider it two halves of a diptych)
-The two nude dancers add a great bit of humor and implied narrative,
which makes some Shag prints more fun than others.

"Extraordinary Evening" seems like it is the best of Shag's urban culture
being attacked by his tiki culture. I love it!!!

Having said that,
of all the prints I own,
"Glorious Lifestyle" is the one I suspect
will have the greatest jump in value.

Only approximately 24 copies made it out
of Australia (barring artist's proofs),
and it is a HUGE print, 53 inches wide,
the widest single image Shag serigraph,
and the fact that it is a tribute to Blake Edwards' The Party
only helps inflate its appeal...but, sadly, there is
no sign of a tiki in it.
