I recently saw a Tretchikoff in the wild locally, and while the Balinese Girl isn't really my Boom Boom Room's style I'm kicking myself for not grabbing it.
What's the normal price for a vintage one? so that I can kick myself harder!

Pauly, I think I bought my print for $20, or was it $15? I found mine in perfect condition at Goodwill, and used a 15% off coupon.

I paid $45 for my Balinese Girl, which I bought about 11 years ago in an collector's shop. At the time, I didn't know anything about the artist..I just liked the print. I thought it was slighly over priced, to be honest, but I like it so m uch I eventually bought after going back to look at it several times over the course of six months...lol.
