HerKidsSculpture.jpg (53797 bytes) 1973 Limited Edition Sculpture - Her Kids - Woman, Daughter & 2 Kid Goats ~ Very cute metal sculpture signed Marian Jolliffe and titled Her Kids.  It is 10" high and 10" across the widest part of the wood base.  The image is of a young girl at her mother's right knee, and pair of kid goats at her left knee (1 standing behind, 1 with it's front hooves on her left leg).  The sculpture is a limited edition and numbered 35 out of 100, and dated 1973.  There is also an impressed stamp on the back/bottom that reads "A&S USA".  The piece is in excellent condition with no flaws found.  The wood base, however, has numerous large scratches..... looks like something a small child would have done in boredom.  There are screws in the bottom of the wood so it can be removed from the metal sculpture.  You could either take the wood off and leave it without, or have the wood refinished.  A very nice item reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell scene.

1997 James Rizzi New York City 3-D Silkscreen "A Marathon For All" ~ Fantastic limited edition silkscreen by noted New York artist James Rizzi with a highly collectible image of New York City featuring the then-standing World Trade Center towers.  This very large piece measures 26" high by 36" however, including the white laminate frame, matting and plexiglass it measures 36" high by 46" wide overall.  It was released in 1997 and is #32 of only 350 produced.   This has been a highly collected piece, and its value has increased dramatically since September 11th for obvious reasons.  To read more about James Rizzi's artwork and how it's made, click here.

We acquired this piece from a well-respected auction house in the Los Angeles area in September 2002.  It's provenance (history) is rather interesting.  We were told by the owner of the auction house that it was placed up for sale by the FBI, which was liquidating the assets of some well-to-do who was indicted for fraud.  I'm told they were selling off two entire households of fine furniture, art, etc that were purchased with stolen money in order to recoup losses for the victims.  Even more interesting...... Apparently the word got out to Mr. Rizzi that his high-demand artwork was being offered for resale.  We had to bid against the artist himself in order to buy it!

Our price is BELOW the $10,000 price listed on the James Rizzi website We are offering it for less to compensate for some minor handling wear to the frame and plexiglass, including some black scuffs and some very minor frame dings and scratches.  The image is pristine.  I would grade the framing to be in excellent+ condition.  It can be displayed with pride in its present state, but the ultra picky collector may wish to have it reframed to suit their taste or restore it to perfect condition.  I apologize for the dark photos -- camera flash on the plexiglass made it difficult to get better quality images.

Signed in the lower left corner in pencil.  Title printed in the silkscreen in the center bottom of the image in the border.  Numbered 32/350 in pencil in the right lower corner.  Date "1997" printed in the silkscreen in the lower right corner.

Pair of Vintage Porcelain Plaques in Ornate Gilt Wood Frames ~ These very nice porcelain plaques each feature a different romantic outdoor courting scene.  The plaques measure 10.5" in overall diameter, including the frame.  The images are a brightly colored and detailed transfer design.  Each plaque is covered with a domed piece of glass.  The frame of one plaque is chipped in three places -- a little wood filler and some gold paint would make them disappear.  Personally, flaws like this don't bother me at all, as they show the item has been around for a while.  Both have minor gold wear rubs from handling. $85 + $10 Shipping
FelguerezSculpture.jpg (66665 bytes) Manuel Felguerez Metal Carousel Art Sculpture ~ Listed Mexican Artist Sold at Butterfield's Auction! ~ Unique 24" tall, 12" wide metal art sculpture by Manuel Felguerez, a Mexican artist who's sculptures have been traded at Butterfield & Butterfield in Los Angeles and San Francisco as recently as 1997. This adorable carousel features 4 riders on 4 horses. I have found signatures on 3 of the figures. The sculpture is in excellent condition. The only flaw I found was one of the upright poles that holds the girl in red curves in slightly. It's not easily noticed unless you're looking for it. (Back right figure wearing a red shirt in the photo.) It does not seem to weaken the piece, and could probably be straightened, but we've decided to leave it "as is".  Felguerez is known to produce works in several mediums including large exterior metal sculptures, paintings and murals. Manuel FelguĂ©rez was born in the city of Zacatecas in 1928. He has a multi-faceted education; from taxidermy to anthropology. He studied at "La Esmeralda" School -Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado-Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes. He traveled to Europe, where he studied at the Academy of the Grande Chaumier in Paris. He was a student of Ossip Zadkine (1949-1950). In 1967 he was an invited professor at Cornell University and in 1975, was a guest researcher at Harvard University. His large-scale sculptures can be found in front of the Tribunal of Justice (Justice Dept) in Mexico City and the University of Colima in Mexico.  His sculptures have noted book value in art appraisal books of $2,000 to $10,000, depending on size, subject and rarity.  We have written confirmation by Arte Felguerez, ( www.artefelguerez.com ) nephew of Manuel Felguerez, that this is an authentic original Manuel Felguerez piece made circa the 1970's.  Mr. Felguerez also advised that a Felguerez piece sold at the Christie's Important Latin American Paintings, Drawings, Sculpture and Prints auction on May 18 and 19, 1994, for just under $8,000.

EverleyPurplePainting.jpg (83111 bytes) 1957 Purple Parlor Painting Signed "C. Everley" ~ I have no information about this artist, but must admit that I was captivated by the strong colors of this vintage painting.  The overall dimensions including the old wood frame are approximately 28" high by 32" wide.  The painting is done with a heavy application of acrylic, which has crackled from age.  The linen mat and wood frame appear to be original to the piece.  The frame finish is also crackled, and has some dings and dents from handling over the years.  The painting is signed "C Everley '57" in the lower right corner.
