About Hokusai And The Christie’S Aikuchi Auction

[Bazza]

In the thread http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/28342-gorgeous-aikuchi-at-christies/ discussing the Christie's aikuchi auction, BIG (Peter Reusch, Post #5) gave a link to a print of Hokusai's GREAT WAVE bringing USD $471,000.  Reading the auction comments and responses to Peter's link it seemed to me almost as if the bidders had been watching a TV program on Hokusai, wherein the Great Wave print is discussed and dissected.  This was aired here in Australia a few days ago - watch it now while it is still up:

There was a Hokusai exhibition here last July 2017 and the exhibition Curator, Wayne Crothers, appeared on a radio converstaion hour about Hokusai and the exhibition.  For those who like to listen to audio go here:

I found this by googling abc hokusai download – ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Commission, Australia’s public funded radio network.
