We have one that's always on display at the LSU Museum of Art.
- msephton 3y agoThanks for the info! If it's always on display then it's more than likely a later reproduction rather than an original impression, as original impressions need to be stored away for long periods of time to minimise fading. You can use a guide by The British Museum to figure out if it's an early impression, if it's not already known. https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/great-wave-spot-difference https://www.britishmuseum.org/blog/great-wave-spot-differenc... I'd take a look, but it's not listed on the LSU MoA collection website?
- jasonjamerson 3y agoIt's in a pull-out drawer display covered in glass. I'll ask the curator for more info.
- selimthegrim 3y agoVisiting from New Orleans and would love to check it out tomorrow or Tuesday, or even next Saturday!
- jasonjamerson 3y agoIt's in a (very well protected) set of art drawers in the children's section just left of the lobby when you come up to the gallery floor in the elevator.
- selimthegrim 3y agoThanks! I’ll try and swing by Tuesday.
