This numbered silkscreen, #62/300, was created by the renowned artist Ikki Matsumoto in the early 1970s. Titled "Arthur Fiddler and the Beach Pops," this piece features Matsumoto's iconic and whimsical fiddler crabs recreating Ikki's favorite composer Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops . It was recently acquired from a collector's estate and comes with a dated frame and mats that are not acid-free, so we recommend replacing them for preservation purposes. For more information on this sought-after secondary market piece, please read the info section.
Arthur Fiddler and the Beach Pops- 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.
