{ Kantor Gallery - Yumiko Kayukawa Limited Edition Prints }

It seems only natural that such iconic images be given new life as a series of limited edition prints- since Yumiko has sold every piece she has ever produced, and with prices for her original work beginning to reflect the supply vs. demand dilemma, this may be the only way for most of us to affordably own a taste of her work. Kudos to Kantor for not only recognizing the wide appeal of Yumiko's work, but also for taking the initiative to make these prints a reality. A run of 3 prints is planned, with a new design released every two months. Two designs are currently available, the 21 x 30 inch "Drive My Car" and the 15 x 21 inch "Surf", with a third as-yet-unveiled piece soon to be released. The prints are produced by Harvest Productions and are Iris Giclee on heavy somerset paper, bled to the edge and designed to be the same size as the paintings they are reproduced from. Each of the 3 designs is limited to 100 pieces signed and numbered, and are reasonably priced at $80. Having so often lamented the lack of Yumiko's artwork in my life, I am now faced with the dilemma of which print to order, or whether to forego some of life's necessities (food, clothing, shelter) in order to pick up all three.
