Seen at MOCCA this weekend this gorgeous illustration of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai by Greg Ruth. This is a reproduction of the print priced very reasonably at $16. I find the original illustration far superior however but at $500 it has a bit of a sticker shock. I have to do some thinking.
I let this set go. I don’t know how it happened but I did. It went up for auction in July of last year and was sold for $38 with buyer’s premium, which means the highest bidder was probably at $6. Retrospectively, I would have easily spent $100. It was on my watch list and I didn’t even bother bidding on it. I mean , these are 13¾ x 19¼”. I can see one or two of those framed and hanging on a wall in the apartment somewhere. Anyway, for your viewing pleasure.
