This is one of a large group of prints that was consigned with us from the collection of a well known business in Honolulu. The pieces were hanging in a air-conditioned environment out of direct sunlight since the 1970s. They were consigned with us due to a redesigning of the office space. The values were established via the Senior Fine Arts appraiser in Honolulu in a recent appraisal and reflect the current fair market value.
