Piazza San Marco by Irving Amen

Original Woodblock Engraving
Pencil Signed Artist Proof
Paper: 17"x21.50"

Having been an auctioneer for the Todd Gallery in the sixties and early seventies, I don't believe conducting an auction without two or three Irving Amen woodblocks listed in the catalog. Before I was given a chance to explain the media or mention who the artist was or his accomplishments the bidding began. The first Irving Amen I sold was "Many Children Dwell In My Father's House". It was held up for auction at the starting price of $75 framed and the final bid I received was $400 and an applause from an excited audience.

Thank you Mr.Amen for the pleasure I had and still have in selling your art work.
The Piazza San Marco posted here has a few slight remnants of tape at the outer edge of the paper. The intrinsic value of the work remains intact.

More Than You Know by Mary Vickers

Mixed Media on Paper
Pencil Signed
Size: 25"x27" Full Bleed
Edition: 125/350


Mary moved from London where she was born in 1940 to New York in 1960. Mary became internationally acclaimed for the way she depicted children in a peaceful
and beautiful world which was and is her reality. She used her children as models.

She eventually turned to painting glamorous women bringing out her romantic side and still achieving her attitude of love and peace. In "More Than You Know" she has combined lithography, silk screening and the use of rhinestones and sequins making each piece an original work of art by applying these various articles by hand.

Mary's work was a favorite among my auction bidders, usually leaving with more than one piece. Her work is timeless. The pieces I kept for my personal collection are now in the safe keeping of young family members who were thrilled to have acquired them.

Her work is represented in many prestigious collections: The Bradford Museum in Chicago and United Nations New York City, etc.

Venice by Richardo

Oil Painting
Size" 20"x24" unframed
36"x32" framed


The gondola is the romantic icon of the canals of Venice.You glide slowly on a moonlit night to musical accompaniment. The pedestrian bridge links Venice's small islands and the artist must have been under a spell to have produced a volume of these romantic scenes. A biography is not available but we know he's romantic.

Venice Canal by Richardo

Another jewel to be added to your collection of the far away places you visited but didn't indulge in the purchase of a painting. This piece will conjure up the image
of the romantic visit to Venice you experienced. I would be safe in saying that art depicting Venice has been one of the best selling subjects in the gallery.

The artist chose the use of the pallet knife and captures the brilliance of the colors and his subject in a true impressionist style.

Original Silk Screen

This is a Commemorative Silk-screen #13 out of a series of 15 commemoratives that were produced over a four year period which were published after his death in 1984.
This piece was never framed or matted. It was purchased by me in the eighties along with others, CN#10, CN#12,CN#15 and there are several of each. I was on a subscription plan so I kept a percentage of the pieces in the gallery's archives until now. I've decided to part with them. They need a home.

I didn't purchase them for investment but for their beauty and high quality printing.

Winter Landscape by Margaret Huddy

Watercolor
22.75"x30"
Pencil Signed


I always considered this water color as very special but I never took the time to research the artist until recently. I am totally in awe of the amount of work she has produced as an award winning water color landscape artist! She is well known in the Washington, D.C. area and famous there for the images rendered of landmark buildings and landscapes. This is an artist whose web site you must visit.

I don't remember how it became a part of my personal collection but my love for winter landscapes plus a quote from a Frost poem had to be the reason for the acquisition. But from which source? A total mystery and no clue to it's price.
Maybe some one out there could quote a price for me for a change.

Thanks.

Oil Painting

If you are grouping several pieces in your dining area instead of using only one piece this still life is an excellent addition because of it's shape. A grouping must consist of more than two pieces, of course. Then if you are using only two, the frames should match, (in my opinion). I have several frames in this style in my inventory, and oils, so I can always produce a matching pair.

Consider groupings. You can utilize all the small pieces you purchased on the streets of Paris, Italy and the rest of the world.

Going Fishing by Max Karp

Enamel-Powdered Glass Fired on Copper
Size: 9"x12" unframed
13.25"X16.50" framed

It was through Jack Krauss that I was intoduced to enamel art. Jack was Karp's
exclusive representative when he (Jack) owned the Nyack, N.Y. gallery. I was in line to take over the sales department because Jack had sold the gallery and wanted to stay with it for several days until he could teach me the process of creating enamels and his gift-like manner of selling them.


To Jack Krauss

Jack Krauss, you wanted me to join your staff and become one of your personnel when you opened your gallery in Las Vegas. It was tempting and I WOULD HAVE BEEN HONORED WORKING FOR YOU! Besides representing you, an amazing, masterful director, I could have represented an amazing First Class Person. After reading Max Karp's biography I was surprised that the Nyack,N.Y. gallery was not mentioned. I'll never forget the late nights I worked and played hostess to guests from the yachts who would end up in the gallery past midnight. Some bought and some drank more of the champagne we served. I wrapped sold enamels as you showed me, like a gift.

Jack Krauss became the exclusive representative for Karp enamels in the 60s and opened his first gallery in Nyack,N.Y.and I believe he is still an owner of the Whitt/Krauss Gallery in San Diego.

To me Max Karp and Jack Krauss are synonymous when speaking of Karp's enamels.

I wouldn't object to repeating some of the days that I directed this gallery, but for a short time, as there's nothing like owning your own gallery. After Jack left for Las Vegas without me I continued to direct the gallery for the new owners.

You can find out a little more about Max Karp on the internet and view some of his masterpieces. Get in touch if you are interested in "Going Fishing".

Mr. Karp is now diseased. And I was recently informed that Jack Krauss has passed on as well. I'm leaving my personal tribute to Jack on my blog.

Going Sledding by Carol Simkin

Enamel: Powdered Glass Fired on Copper
8"x10" Oval


Carol Simkin used to visit The Max Karp Enamel Art Gallery in Nyack, N Y.before I became director of the gallery in the late sixties and after that time would visit periodically. She was a student of Max Karp and if she hadn't signed her work, there were times I couldn't tell their work apart.

This piece is from my personal collection. The frame is an Italian import.

While googling Simkin I finally found a gallery in Newport Beach, Ca. that has a single piece of hers for sale. It seems as though owners of Simkin's enamels are keeping them. Enamels are the jewels of the Art World.

The artist, M.Morse, was willing to accommodate client's special requests for the personal detailing of their selected work of art.

You just gotta love what you do!

I found an antique white baroque frame to replace the one shown here. So there is a choice and eventually I will have it photographed.

I'm sad to say that the artist is working and selling on her own and preparing to move out of state. I loved working with her and miss her.

Restoration -- Autumn Scene -- After

Restoration -- Beach Scene -- Before

Restoration -- Beach Scene -- After

Winter Scene -- Before Restoration

I'm sure there was some way I could have split the photo so that both the "before" and "after" could be seen on one post. I haven't gotten that far yet.

The color and detail has been obscured over the years due to the dirt and yellowing of the protective varnish layer. You'll know when it's time to restore your work of art: when you are anxious to finally see the colors that the artist intended.

If you want to try to do the restoration yourself practice first on an unimportant oil. Using water based products are not advised,lots of patience is. But consider strongly having the job done by a professional especially if the art work is an investment, one of sentimental value or just for your esthetic pleasure.

My gallery will do the best possible job, naturally, but the work has to be seen by the gallery before a price can be quoted, then given a little time to thoroughly complete an examination of the work.

Keep up with your daily care of your precious oils and I'm sure I don't have to remind you not to smoke in their presence.

Winter Scene -- After Restoration

A great difference and worth every dollar!

Still Life In Pink,White And Orange by W.Horner

 

Oil Painting
20"x24" unframed


If I painted this you can be sure the selling price would be three times higher because you would have a biography of the artist.As long as the artist is unknown to me (I don't have the time to do the researching,and if I did I still wouldn't bother) my rule of thumb is,"I see it, I like it, it's affordable, I buy it". Once in awhile an artist emerges and becomes recognized and if I followed my intuition at the time of this purchase I pat myself on the back.

A lot of my buying involves intuition. It doesn't take intuition to buy a Picasso. Just money. And I have one that I'd like to sell! I haven't put it on my blog because I'd really like the pleasure of selling it in person. I can just imagine how many emails or calls I'd receive from Picasso owners wanting to sell me theirs or wanting to know how much theirs is worth.

If I know my people, you'll want to know it's history. How much history can this innocent piece have? It doesn't look like an Invitational Yachting Competition where a trophy is awarded to the winner. America's Cup? Not likely to us but it could be to Susan P. Meisel because of the fun she has in interpreting colorful, well known places and events which invite the portrayal of group scenes. There are details and plenty of them if you take the time to discover them.

This printer's proof was a gift to me from the publisher, Edward Weston, now deceased. His graphic company was on Mercer and Prince Street located in a landmark building purchased by Mr Weston circa 1973-4 and I was elected to "run the company". I welcomed the gift of art any time. Now I'm in the throes of selling the collection I've en massed but holding onto enough that I cannot part with.

Twilight by Erte

Bronze Sculpture
Edition: 359/375


The sculpture is 20 1/2" high. It is one of eighteen works in Erte's Images In Bronze collection.

Twilight was missing from the gallery for two years as a result of a break-in.The thief eyed the sculpture on a pedestal and felt entitled to it's ownership, broke the side window and with an accomplice took possession. Believe me, extreme measures were taken by me to regain ownership. And I did! I went as far as consulting a psychic who required only a picture of the missing sculpture. After she unknowingly confirmed my suspicion she asked me to have a detective call her. None complied. Their reason was that they asked him (the thief) if he was responsible for the burglary and he said he wasn't. I remained respectful but anxious to get my sculpture back. And it happened one day two years later.

I'll tell you. But if you can't wait to hear how, get in touch.
I'll probably post another comment another time . . .
I'm not going to continue my commentary on Twilight yet. (I do so much better when I'm telling it in person). I could make a video but I doubt it.

Back to business.
The sculpture is cast in bronze with four or five different patinae. A talent team was directed by Erte at the Joel Meisner and Co. Foundry in New York to produce this collection. After the clay model was finished, a rubber mold was made. On Erte's sculpture, Meisner used the lost wax casting process which is the most time-consuming, costly and best method of casting sculpture.

I want to emphasize that Erte was personally involved in this collection, "Images In Bronze". There are no other sculptures available which have the aesthetic beauty and technical excellence as Erte's bronzes.

Several weeks later and I still haven't dealt with my oversize Nesbitt.

Lowell Nesbitt was born in Baltimore and has had several shows at the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. His flower series are his most beautiful and poetic of the themes he has dealt with.

You have to take advantage of the prices that I am asking.
