Hey Blue fans… Have you ever seen this image? I still have yet to find the limited edition full-color giclee in the wild, but I own this postcard invitation from 2001 promoting “Amazing Grace” the Art of Robert Blue Retrospective in his memory! The event took place at the Art Academy of Los Angeles in Sherman Oaks, California with a special reception on Sunday August 5, 2001. The viewing ran for several weeks from August 5 – Sept 14th.
Retrospective included figurative art, landscapes and drawings by the late Blue. Polka Dot ©1995 Linda Blue
