By chance, Julien's Auctions had a number of pieces of Michael Jackson Memorabilia consigned for its summer sale held in Las Vegas last weekend. These collectibles were expected to sell for far less than they fetched due to Jackson's death just a day before they were auctioned. Find out how much these items were expected to bring at auction, and what they actually sold for, in this post-auction report.
O is for Ohr Pottery
posted on June 28, 2009 07:56:31 pm
When it comes to pottery crafted by George Ohr, the Mad Potter of Biloxi, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. In fact, some people find this "art" pottery made more than a century ago to be downright ugly. While it's not for everyone, Ohr's works do command attention from both pottery aficionados and museum curators, and the prices can be formidable. To learn more about how much a typical piece of Ohr pottery sells for at auction, take a look at my new George Ohr Pottery Price Guide.
Vintage Patriotic Postcard Gallery - Happy 4th of July!
posted on June 28, 2009 07:44:38 pm
What better way to celebrate our nation's independence than with a gallery filled with, if I do say so myself, fantastic Vintage Patriotic Postcards. The color, the sentiment, the prose -- I love it all, and hope you will too. They can even be used as clip art, if you wish. Enjoy, and have a wonderful July 4th!
N is for Negotiating Prices
posted on June 24, 2009 09:38:21 am
Antique shoppers are notorious for bargaining. Why pay the asking price if you don't have to, right? Some people haven't quite gotten the knack of negotiating at garage sales, flea markets and antique shows down to a fine art yet and they don't realize different tactics work best in different situations, but that's not a problem. I'm offering some suggestions for negotiating your best price in a variety of venues, and I threw in a few reminders even seasoned hagglers will want to review.

Casting Calls Announced for The Untitled Art Project
Tell all of your artist friends: the Bravo Network has, at long last, determined a casting call schedule for its upcoming reality television series The Untitled Art Project. According to the press release, they are looking for "emerging or mid-career" artists of the "contemporary" stripe. (Note to readers: Erm, not to split hairs, but any visual artist who is currently [1] breathing and [2] working is, by definition, "contemporary." But I digress.) The schedule is as follows:
- LOS ANGELES
  Saturday, July 11 & Sunday, July 12, 10 AM – 2 PM
  LAXART
  www.laxart.org
- MIAMI
  Tuesday, July 14, 10 AM – 2 PM
  Fredric Snitzer Gallery
  www.Snitzer.com
- CHICAGO
  Thursday, July 16, 10 AM – 2 PM
  School of the Art Institute of Chicago
  Sullivan Galleries, 33 S. State Street
  www.saic.edu
- NEW YORK
  Saturday, July 18 & Sunday, July 19, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
  White Columns
  www.whitecolumns.org
You should also know that there is a full boatload of application papers, portfolio requirements and passport prerequisites Bravo expects hopefuls to bring with them. Take the time to read the fine print, please.

All that's left to say is "Good luck" and that I, a dedicated shunner of Reality TV, will watch this series. Oh, I'd rather be in Hell with a broken back than to sit through, say, The Real Housewives of _______(insert place I don't care about here), but I would make popcorn and glue myself to the screen to watch a Conceptual artist try to etch a zinc plate. Now that's must-see TV, Fellow Art Geeks.

Today's featured picture
Poster for an 1884 American production of William Shakespeare's Othello starring Thomas W. Keene. Because of its varied themesâ€”racism, love, jealousy and betrayalâ€”Othello remains relevant to the present day and is often performed in professional and community theatres alike. The play has also been the basis for numerous operatic, film and literary adaptations. The production history of Othello has seen some landmark milestones: a 1660 performance was probably the first time a professional actress appeared on a public stage in England, and the 1943 production by Margaret Webster ran for 296 performances, almost twice as long as any other Shakespearean play on Broadway.
