Traveling to Japan soon: Can I purchase a Murakami print there, or is it better to purchase it through eBay/galleries on the internet?
I’ve been following Takashi Murakami’s work since 2010 and now I saved up some money to spend on his art (a limited edition print, not original). I’ve been trying to get ahold of one of his prints through Zingaro’s official site with no luck. I also noticed that the price galleries are reselling at is significantly higher. The galleries price luckily is not a problem for me, but I wonder if I can do a better purchase of the same thing when I visit Japan at the end of the year.
Is it easier to get a print from Murakami in Japan? Are there any prints always available at Hidari Zingaro, or they sell their entire stock online? Is there any market/gallery I should consider visiting when I visit Japan to get a Murakami print?
I’m perfectly ok if the answer is to be patient with Zingaro’s drops, or to purchase from some gallery in particular, or to just try my luck on eBay. I just wanted to check with this community as you’re very knowledgeable on this regard.
Thank you in advance for your help!
