Ah, You Can't Survive on Seashells Alone - Vintage is a stunning lithograph from the early 1970s by renowned artist Ikki Matsumoto. Featuring his iconic and whimsical sandpipers, this unnumbered print is a must-have for any art lover's collection. While this is a secondary market piece purchased from a collector's estate, the artwork itself remains in excellent condition. However, the frame and mats are dated and not acid-free, so it is recommended to replace them for preservation purposes. Please read the info section for more details on this beautiful vintage piece.
Ah, You Can't Survive on Seashells Alone - Vintage by Ikki Matsumoto
This is Ikki's daughter, Amy Matsumoto. I have been actively involved in my father's artwork since 1987. I have seeking out vintage Ikki's and restoring them to their original beauty, if possible. If you purchase from me, you can buy with confidence that the artwork is authentic, because I authenticate each piece as I clean them. I will emboss each piece and include a certificate of authenticity and a bio on Ikki.

I have to wait until after May 1st, 2024 since the artwork is located in Seattle, WA and I have 50 plus pieces of artwork that I purchased and I'm going to fly out and rent a mini van and drive back across country. I'm having to wait, because it's Winter in the Northwest and I've never driven in the snow, so I need to wait, but the good news is if you pre-buy one of these estate pieces and you are along my travels home, then we can meet in person for you to get your artwork.
