Message:: [QUOTE="glenmore f wong, post: 1693448, member: 14215"]I lived (still do) in Hollywood in the 80's and was a customer of the Space Gallery that represented Masami. I gabbed a lot with the (late) owner Ed Lau about Masami's career. I bought one of the "Flying Fries" posters, IIRC, from a gallery up in San Francisco.  This was around the time his McDonald's series were being shown in galleries.  Before this I had bought the "Geisha and Tattooed Woman" poster, a Masami screened print and one of his original watercolors.  When I happened to mention to Ed that I came across this "Flying Fries" poster, he seemed surprised and a little annoyed.  My impression was that it was not an 'authorized' poster and it was done by a local art gallery to promote Masami's work.  I sold my Flying Fries maybe 5-8 years ago on ebay for $400.  It was in original perfect shape and stored in a drawer so the colors were still very nice.  The buyer was a Masami fan and was thrilled to get it.  I told him all that I include here. So it is certainly not common and in original condition probably close to nonexistent.[/QUOTE]
