Out of curiousity, I emailed Judith Holland to see what info she had about the "Pearl of Wisdom" and "Treasure Within" prints and to see if she'd print them again. How surprised I was that she responded: Lisa, So I sent her the picture of Treasure Within that was posted here. Lisa , Does anyone know or have a picture of this print? |

Nice work! It doesn't sound like she's interested, but maybe someone like Tikifarm could schmooze her into a licensing deal. I'd love to have a matched set. But none of this limited edition-can't-afford-it-anyway-$$$ stuff. -Z Thank God The Tiki Bar Is Open [ Edited by: Feelin' Zombified on 2004-01-14 06:28 ] |

Has anyone seen the 3rd print? I wanna see! Or is this an elaborate hoax to humble those of us that are lucky enough to own the 2 familiar ones? I'm gonna freak until I get my hands on that third one....! |

I am guesing this is the third Holland print: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=3749264106&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT I saw this and that it might be, did some digging, and figured it had to be the third one. Drums, is it? Hope the link works, someone should get a capture of the pic. It's been a long time since I used this BBcode or I'd do it myself. Ebay #3749264106 Sorry, it ends in just a day. There's till time for all interested in Holland' stuff. midnite |

I found a picture of August Holland's Drums of the Night print on the augustholland.com website - since the one from before is gone, here it is again. [ Edited by: kctiki 2006-03-31 19:11 ] |

Great series of prints... For the record I talked with the company that still owns the image of the Pearls of Wisdom. They were willing to reproduce that image as a smaller reprint... nice paper, etc... but I thought it was a bit pricey at what would be about $50- each print. Especially since they still pop up in thrift stores and online. If there is enough interest here I can pick up that conversation with them again. |

Thanks for the info Blowfish. I'd happily pay $50 for a brand new one with the colors all crisp & fresh. |

I wouldn't pay $50 for Pearl, as I already have it; but, do they own the other prints? I'd go $50 for the Drums of Night or maybe the other one. |

OK, for those that might be interested I will re-contact the print maker guy and get more info and nail down the price... then start a new thread to find out how many are interested so I can make a group order. |

HEY, Look what my wife found at a friend's house the other day....! O.k., so I borrowed that photo from another post, but she really did find one of the ever-elusive August Holland "Fire God" prints at a friend's house... Man, I Love My Wife! The Big debate now is "is the figure Male Or Female"? Classic Maori art is almost always typically Male, but consider these factoids: The debate is now OPEN FOR DISCUSSION! |

Full facial moko (tattoo) = male, and the stylised boobs are just the shoulders in the usual place for this type of figure. I don't think this is a wahine, although he has certainly taken a few liberties with him(?)! Mostly by just using parallel lines where there would be intricate surface patterns...

Now that we're about to be thirteen years beyond 2001, I think it's time we reevaluated the needless rarity of the August Holland tiki images. Many classic-era tiki menu images & paintings are readily available as on-demand canvas & paper prints through companies like this... http://www.metropix.org/RetroHawaii Even if copyright is still an issue where Holland's art is concerned, there's absolutely no reason (it seems to me) that someone can't be making money while satisfying a great designer's/collector's market for the rarities. If copyright is NOT a consideration, then can we have a lucky owner make his/her print available for high-rez scanning & reproduction? For those of you unfamiliar with the art in question, you've probably encountered this image before... This is the most common, and remains available even now on Etsy, eBay and can be found in antique shops across the U.S.
Given the state of computerized printing technology and the dearth of contemporary tiki fine art, I believe it's high time that we get these excellent artifacts back into the marketplace. |
