Searching For Van Gogh Poster

[wpfay]

Looking for Van Gogh's "Vase with 15 Sunflowers" with the image just slightly larger than 36 1/2" X 28 1/4". Can find it all day long smaller than that but am trying to replace existing faded poster.
Any help will be appreciated.

I'm framing that poster right now only it's image is 24x31. The customer found it at art.com.

29x35 at Allposters.com: Here it is

Oops: Just realized it is framed....LOL

Here it is, in 24x36. Not sure it's available in 28x36.

If you buy from that link, rather than from art.com or allposters.com, I make a little commission. To be on the safe side, you can go to my website, http://www.sanmateo.thegreatframeup.com, click on Shop for Art, and then search for the print.

Thanks Paul, but that isn't the one I'm looking for. He did a whole series and they are usually identified by the number of flowers. When I search your site for other pieces it is strikingly similar to AllPosters.com and art.com....

The search continues...

I have found it at the Van Gogh Museum in a Giclee on Canvas for a meer
230 Euros....plus shipping

The search continues.

Wally:

Have you tried the Metropolitan Museum's store? I remember seeing dozens of posters by Van Gogh there.

More info: Purchased at the Van Gogh museum 10-15 years ago...not likely to find a match. The poster was made the same size as the original...not common.

Well Wally, if all fails:

Have it scanned, enlarged and photoshopped to required crispiness and color depth. Might be cheaper and less frustrating in the end.

Another fun option (which I did with a customer's very faded Where the Wild Things Are poster) - spray original with matte Krylon to give it some tooth and go over with Prismacolor pencils - I have done that with a number of faded posters and if they have been printed on a toothy enough paper you don't even have to spray them!

And you cannot ruin the stupid poster because it is already ruined - it is a win-win situation!!! (Practice on a faded TK to be on the safe side!)

Ooooo, I love this part!

Even better: Practice on a new one!

She's agreed to go with the Giclee from The Van Gogh Museum if nothing else turns up. She likes the idea of a stretched image on canvas and no glazing. Would mean having to reconfigure the frame with a liner and stretching the giclee...oh darn.
Can't go smaller because of the place where it hangs.
I might just mess with brightening it up with some matte top coat and the prisma colors.
I could print it if I could get the digital file.

Sometimes I think it would be better for all of us if some of us (like myself, LOL) could just memorize the following sentence and use it every once in a while:

"No, ma'am (or sir), no we cannot do that for you. So very sorry."
