Notes

Some rules for a total respect of the laws of intellectual property

I invite you in this network to describe the exceptional objects which you located in the catalogues of future auction sales.



It is obvious that this cultural and ludic exercise must be done with the necessary clearness and in all the respect of the law. You must thus quote your sources of information so that a reader can find them, at least at the date where you emit your text.



You should not recopy significant lengths of the text which is used by you as source of… Continue

Locating in a future auction sale a piece of art or of furniture or a collectible that is exceptional in its category, and then analyzing and communicating, constitutes a cultural act.

To be listening to the world auction is an effective means for each one among us to open our mind on the fields which we do not know.

The Favorite Organ of Milhous Brothers

Thumbnail
I promised that I discuss once again the sale of the Milhous collection, in Boca Raton FL by RM Auctions in association with Sotheby's. The choice is vast. The session dedicated to mechanical musical instruments on February 25 includes nearly one hundred lots. For selecting the piece to be presented here, I let the brothers talk. In the general video introduction of the sale, between 0:50 and 1:15, they reveal their favorite instrument, a fairground organ manufactured in 1903 by Ruth and sons…See More

The Sports Pantheon of Jean-Michel Basquiat

Thumbnail
The sports were defined by the whites. Throughout the twentieth century, black champions were able to brave the hostility of the public and contribute to achieve the racial equality. They include Jack Johnson, Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson. The art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, who started as a street painter, is deeply claiming and social. In 1982, the raised fist of the Black Panthers in the 1968 Olympics is still fresh in the memories. Race relations in sports are a natural theme for the young…See More

Unsold. The estimate was not published on the website of the auction house, but the highest bid, $ 700K, gives an idea of the price that had been expected.

The memorabilia of the Mexican Revolution are certainly very rare on the market with such a quality. The price obtained is exciting: $ 625K before fees, 750K including premium.

With a Protome of Lying Lion

Thumbnail
Shaped as a cornucopia, the rhyton is an ancient utensil that was used for libation. A silver specimen from the Hellenistic period, 2300 to 2200 years ago, is for sale on February 8 in Paris by Artcurial. 32 cm high and 45 cm long including its tip, this is a large piece in its category. The horn is finely carved with vegetal motifs. The protome which closes the orifice is a figure of lying lion in gilded silver with a stunning realism, perfectly proportioned. The mane is abundant as also the…See More

Sujets Automatiques by Phalibois

Thumbnail
Following Vaucanson in France and Jaquet-Droz in Switzerland, manufacturers of automata gave to machines the ability to imitate life. The favorite themes are animals, magicians, writers, facial expressions. At the end of the nineteenth century, when toy manufacturers reuse these techniques, the catalog of the Phalibois workshop began offering animated scenes on pedestal (sujets automatiques) in which characters are life size. It was the right time: the rise of advertising and the progress of…See More

Enameled Art is Still Hot

Every now and then, a unique piece of Cleveland School art comes up for auction. Most collectors have a few watercolors, a painting or perhaps a sculpture. Names such as Edris Eckhardt, William Sommer and Carl Gaertner are some of the most recognized names.



You may have seen this name, Edward Winter, and never thought twice about it. Maybe while perusing a yard sale or estate sale, you picked up one of his items but the name didn't mean anything. Until now...
