Lot 344		Accidental Tourist Gil Elvgren Oil on Canvas Recreation by Daniel Vancas. Gil Elvgren (1914-1980) remains one of the most popular American pin-up artists in history with his original pieces now commanding upwards to $250,000. Daniel Vancas, a well established California artist, illustrator and gallery owner, obtained the licenses to recreate a certain few of Elvgren pieces mostly those destroyed, lost or unavailable.
