It is a print, this one hangs in the back room. I framed it trying to mimic the shark tooth motif of the building and ravi lobby. It measures about 20 X 26. I’ve seen one before several years ago on auction but was outbid and when this one came on a few months back I didn’t let it slip through my fingers. I wish I knew more if its origin. It would be nice to hear it was available at Jill’s Gift Shop in the gardens. It is dated 1968 on the bottom left by the signature. It is romanticized to the point of having an ocean in front of the building rather than the reality of the traffic of Ala Moana Blvd that was normally there, Artifice, where would poly pop be without it?

Oh, Gregg, so you're the one that I was bidding against for this print! I was devastated to lose it, but at least now I know that it went to a good home!
