"This exhibit will comprise the largest display of three-dimensional Gauguin masterpieces currently seen anywhere in the world, including a newly discovered Gauguin wood carving on display for the first time in America." If they are talking about that Marquesan Tiki they show on their web site, that would be a first! Gauguin has never done any straight Tiki carvings otherwise, to my knowledge: http://www.sdmaritime.org/three-voyages [ Edited by: bigbrotiki 2011-05-06 10:49 ]
