The artist who created Hawaii's new statehood stamp is not happy with the finished result. Herb Kane says the postal service used the wrong typography on the word "Hawai‘i." Instead of using an ‘okina, they made the common mistake of using an apostrophe, where the top of the line is thicker than the bottom. It's subtle but meaningful.

In his latest, author and attorney Noles (Twenty-Three Minutes to Eternity: The Final Voyage of the Escort Carrier USS Liscome Bay) looks at the 50 State Quarters Program, which, over about ten years, has issued a quarter commemorating each state with a different design. Organized by issue date, each state quarter is given a few pages of background information, including the date of release, the number initially minted and the reasons behind its design. His work is full of information for both novice coin collectors and average Joes, and his otherwise dry account benefits occasionally from witty chapter subtitles and gentle mockery (Wisconsin's state motto, "Forward!", appears to be exhorting a cow head, ear of corn and cheese round "to move along"). While some may assume that there is little mystery behind the state quarters series, Noles finds much to inform, and occasionally startle, making each entry a quick, fulfilling slice of American history. 50 b&w photos |

“We are excited to celebrate The Simpsons on postage stamps,” said U.S. Postal Service Executive Director of Stamp Services David Failor. “Eyebrow-raising to say the least, this witty, well-written pop icon continues to irreverently satire its parody of a middle-class family as it lampoons American culture. The Simpsons stamps, which includes known philatelists Bart Simpson, will serve as a great opportunity to interest youngsters into stamp collecting.” |

Hong Kong, 8 April 2009 -- Sotheby’s five-day Spring sales series at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre concluded today, totalling HK$691,153,000/ US$88,609,000. The series, which had been expected to bring in excess of HK$600 million/ US$76.9 million, offered 1,805 lots comprising Wine, Modern and Contemporary Asian Art, Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, Jewellery and Watches and solid prices were established across the board. The series was highlighted by the Company’s inaugural single-owner wine sale in Asia, which achieved triumphant results, the successful sale of eight Imperial treasures from a European Collection and particularly strong performances for Fine Chinese Paintings and 20th Century Chinese Art. The overall sold by lot rate for the series is 85%. |
Commenting on the series, Patti Wong, Chairman of Sotheby’s Asia, said: “Our Spring sales have given us many positive messages and clearly indicate that at this adjusted level, the Asian market is very active and strong for quality, attractively-priced works of art. In addition to the many new buyers from all over the world that we saw participating in our sales, we were also thrilled to see the return of many established collectors who recognise the value in the market today. It was exiting and satisfying to widen our selling categories this week with the introduction of regular wine sales in Hong Kong and the spectacular results for this sale are an affirmation of our decision to do this. This is a magnificent platform to move forward from in this area and we strive to serve our Asian clients better.” |

In 2009 Barbie celebrates her 50th birthday. During a holiday in Germany an American visitor Ruth Handler bought her daughter a doll called Bild-Lili . Back home the doll was a big success and Ruth decided to buy the rights and produce the dress-able doll in the States using the name of her daughter Barbara. In 1959 the first Barbie was for sale in the shops. In 1972 producer Mattel was close to bankruptcy, they continued to make dolls for a few more years, but the quality suffered.
Collector Armel Rood will exhibit her most exciting Barbie dolls from the period 1959-1972 including many extras she picked up like books, fan club memorabilia, dresses, a Barbie toy, a car and some of the first Barbie’s ever made.
On more stands you can see a demonstration of at least 20 old and almost forgotten crafts coming to life, like glass melting, mustard making, boat model making, hand knitting and many more. A real opportunity to experience these old techniques and the making of durable and collectable items
The Cruisebrothers club will show at least ten of their famous American cars from the fifties, and as well as the many dealers, there are also lots of special collections on view (and sale) like radio transmitters, Olympic Games memorabilia, old crafts man’s tools, French posters made by Picasso and book print equipment from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The daily bad tidings of economic crisis that continue to haunt the world in the media were far from visible at the World Money Fair in Berlin. 12,600 visitors – a slight increase on the previous year’s figures – came to the three-day event at the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center, Berlin.

Some experts in the coin market had expressed fears in the run-up to the fair that prices for high-end coins might drop slightly. Their fears proved to be unfounded. Virtually no other market is as healthy as the coin market! The historically still significant Polish gold ducat which was issued in 1658 to mark the liberation of the city of Torun was sold for 115,000 euros.

Issue of €2 commemorative coin
The Central Bank of Malta will be issuing its first €2 commemorative coin
on 5 January 2009. The coin commemorates the 10th anniversary of Economic
and Monetary Union. Each euro area country will be issuing a similar coin
bearing the same design but with the name of the country and the legend
‘EMU 1999-2009’ shown in the respective language. The Maltese euro coin
will have the legend ‘UEM 1999-2009’, where the letters UEM stand for
‘Unjoni Ekonomika u Monetarja’.
The deliberately primitive design of the coin symbolizes the euro as the
latest step in the long history of trade up to the formation of economic
and monetary union. It was created by George Stamatopoulos, a sculptor from
the minting department at the Bank of Greece.
The coin will be available for sale in rolls of 25 coins each at a price of
€57.75 per roll, inclusive of VAT.
Purchases can be made from the counters

The "LUXUS" collection was formed over several decades, with purchases from public auctions and select private dealers, and consists of the finest available condition. Single stamps often show parts of their neighbors, or are "miniature blocks of nine." Covers are exceptionally attractive, with well-margined multicolur frankings, exquisite cancels, fresh colours and important usages.

Sydney, April 22, 2008 – “Remarkable results were witnessed this evening at Sotheby’s, when every major lot leapt above estimate and records were established for a number of Australia’s most famous artists. Our clients continue to compete for rare and important Australian works of art.“ said Georgina Pemberton, Head of Australian Paintings and one of the auctioneer’s of tonight’s auction. “Five artist records were established this evening including $1,008,000 Ethel Carrick Fox’s Market, Under Trees, more than doubling the artist’s existing record. This sale reaffirms the experience of our offices world wide - the top end of the art market continues to be bullish and confident. Our focus will continue to be upon presenting the best art available for auction, at the high end of the market as we continue into 2008.” The sale also featured three masterpieces by Ian Fairweather, including Beach at Manicahan which sold for $960,000 (est: $400,000-600,000), breaking the previous record of $840,000. |

Highlighting the 15 works included in this evenings sale from the Multiplex Collection, which brought $856,000 (est.: $686,000-1,032,000), was Sidney Nolan’s Bird which sold for $210,000 (est.: $150,000-250,000). This group of paintings from the 1950s and 60s was a tribute to the taste of the late John Roberts and the proceeds will be used to purchase works from young West Australian artists.

Reflecting the continuing strong market for rare stamps and postal history, and with dealers and exhibitors looking towards the major international exhibitions coming up, culminating with London 2010, our latest series of auctions, held April 1-5, 2008, totalled nearly 10 million Euro, averaging 30% over the estimates and with a very high percentage of lots sold.

Among the Europe and Colonies lots on offer, a section of France drew much interest and excellent results for covers with uncommon frankings or to unusual destinations, with results often reaching multiples of estimates. Overseas lots included strong coverage of a large Egypt section, while Persia rarities and inverted centres brought excellent results. British area lots, and particularly Great Britain proper, were offered in profusion. A session which included several hundred "Penny Blacks" in high quality drew intense bidding from the room as well as from those bidding via the internet, with lot after lot soaring to levels well above estimate. For example, a block of four of the 1d "Rainbow Trials," estimated at 5'000 Euro, brought 14'340 Euro - and this result was typical of the realisations throughout the session, with some "Penny Blacks" bringing 360 to 420 Euro each, and one from plate 11, matched with a "Penny Red" from the same plate and position, bringing 3’107 Euro.

Collecta has successfully come to an end!
On the first day we have taken the press and the visitors on the guided tour of the thematic exhibition Slovenika where the selected exhibits were exposed. The exhibition was prepared in collaboration with numerous experts from various fields. The tinplate containers dating from before the Second World War that were made by well-known and reputable Slovenian artists, Slovenian devotional pictures, and three-dimensional greeting cards were quite popular. However, most of the visitors were fascinated by the interesting and unusual collections built by Tone Simončič. He exhibited part of his collection of banana labels, cigar bands, sugar bags, stamps with crystals, Gibraltar sand and laces, and much more.
|
What is more, phone cards with the motifs of Slovenian castles and a number of military objects, the most popular among which were the combat badges used to award the direct contact with the enemy, were put on display. Miocene crab fossils from Tunjiško gričevje near Kamnik, fish fossils from various Slovene sites, flint, illustrations of Slovene minerals by illustrator Marija Nabernik, and the minerals from the Idrija Mercury Mine and the Lead and Zinc Mine of Mežica have occupied a special place in the framework of the thematic exhibition Slovenika.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 27th, 2008 – Sotheby’s Evening Sale of Contemporary Art achieved
£95,030,000 ($189,424,299), the highest total ever for any sale of Contemporary Art held in Europe,
against a pre-sale estimate of £72,025,000-£102,855,000. Records were set for six artists.
The top lot in tonight’s sale was Francis Bacon’s Study of Nude with Figure in a Mirror, 1969, a rare full-length portrait of the artist’s close friend Henrietta Moraes, which achieved £19,956,500 ($39,779,291) selling to a European private collector bidding on the telephone. This remarkable price follows last year’s record $52,680,000 (£26,581,895) for the artist at auction, achieved for Study From Innocent X at Sotheby’s New York in May 2007. The saleroom broke into applause when Gerhard Richter’s sublime Photo Painting Kerze (Candle), from 1983, sold for the spectacular price of £7,972,500 ($15,891,584) – more than three times its presale high estimate of £2,500,000. |
This remarkable price came after eleven bidders competed for the work. The result immediately followed another success for the artist, when Struktur (1979) achieved £4,612,500 ($9,194,096), after pursuit by eight bidders and gasps from the audience. A work widely regarded as one of Lucio Fontana’s masterpieces, Concetto Spaziale, La Fine di Dio dating from 1963, achieved a record £10,324,500 ($20,579,826) for a work by the artist at auction. The result was significantly in excess of its pre-sale low-estimate of £4,000,000. The egg-shaped canvas was one of only two gold works in this series. Pursued by five bidders, its price saw the saleroom once again erupt into applause. The phenomenal result saw Fontana become the second European Post War artist, after Francis Bacon, to break the £10 million barrier at auction. Three Self Portraits (1986) by Andy Warhol achieved £11,444,500 ($22,812,322). This rare trinity of canvases in the colours of the American flag, came from the artist’s only ever exhibition devoted to selfportraits, held at the Anthony d’Offay Gallery, London in 1986. In tonight's sale, Chinese Contemporary Art of the highest quality by some of the most important artists living and working in China today, achieved a total of £5,978,700 ($11,917,343). Zhang Xiaogang’s Big Family No. 1, executed in 2001 - by far the largest work by the artist to come to auction to date and the culmination of the artist’s ‘Bloodlines’ series - was the top selling lot of the section, selling for £1,700,500 ($3,389,607) against an estimate of £1,500,000-2,000,000. Other works in the section that also performed well include Comrades by Zhang Xiaogang, which commanded £1,140,500 ($2,273,359), Yan Pei-Ming's Silver Bruce Lee - the first image of the Kung Fu icon ever to appear at auction - which brought £692,500 ($1,380,360) and Fools in the Night by Yue Minjun, which sold for £916,500 ($1,826,859). |
