2007-10-15 09:31 "Old Collections" at Bonham's
I was looking at the forthcoming highlights of the October 26, 2007 sale of antiquities at Bonham's, London. [I would have checked more of the catalogue but there seems to be an error on their website.] The highlights include: a. Lot 70, Egyptian cat. "French private collection. Accompanied by a French passport". b. Lot 82, Egyptian glass inlay of Isis. "Frida Chacos in 1970". [I presume this is the same as Frida Tchachos .] c. Lot 102, Roman cameo. "Ex private Hungarian collection. Acquired rec …

One of the rarest gems in the world, a flawless blue diamond, has sold for £4 million at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong.

Have been working from 8 am to 2 am on a daily basis for my new start-up. Feeling tired No quite, but very excited. I think this is the wonder of doing what you like - it some how doesn't feel like work and you simply put yourself into it naturally. Yesterday, my partner, Sophie, and I took a few hours off and visited 3 exhibitions in a roll for Sotheby's and Christie's were bringing some master pieces to Hong Kong, and displayed them in extremely generous manners which allowed the viewers to …

2007-10-04 18:29 Expose Yourself To Things You Don t Like
Sculpture from the Tai Chi series by JuMing . Definitely a great piece of art (and definitely not sth I don't like). JuMing's art pieces are included in the Fall Hong Kong Auction by Sotheby's. The Fall Auction of Sotheby's is going to take place in Hong Kong this weekend. No, I don't have the spare money to buy the art piece yet (of course would love to...) but did go to its pre-auction exhibition and seminars today. This time, they have Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Ju Ming and a collection …

2007-10-02 08:10 Antiquities surfacing in Freiburg
One of the sources for antiquities that appear to be newly-surfaced is Galerie Günter Puhze in Freiburg, Germany. I say "appear to be" because there is rarely a declared history before Freiburg. Let me give four random examples from among those listed in my research notes (KdA = Kunst der Antike, issued by Galerie Günter Puhze): a. An Attic red-figured amphora, attributed to the Triptolemos painter. KdA 10, no. 200. Subsequently Christie's, London, November 12th, 1996, no. 142; Sotheby's, New Yo …

2007-09-25 16:10 The Italian Antiquities Trial - a Brief Review
D uring the summer of 2005, a trial began in Italy with the goal of deciding the guilt or innocence of Marion True along with Robert Hecht, Jr in conspiracy to traffic in illegal antiquities. The trial is still underway in Rome and has certainly fulfilled the 2 year prediction some gave. The result is that several museums have already returned antiquities of illicit origin to their countries of origin, pariticuarly Italy and Greece. True, the former curator of the J. Paul Getty Museum, and Hecht …

2007-08-24 14:13 Fun with vanity ticker symbols
So Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz announced on his blog the company will soon change its ticker symbol from SUNW to JAVA. (To commemorate the news, the team at GigaOm had a fun post yesterday ruminating on companies that also should change their ticker symbols. The GigaOm top ten lists suggests AT&T (T) should consider "IFON" as a ticker symbol - a nod to the product that has given Ma Bell a little buzz. Yahoo (YHOO) might consider "NOGO" - short for Not Google.) The vanity ticker symbol …

As the art market death watch heats up (see MAO's post on Eli Broad's predicitons), the two big auctions houses seem hellbent on discouraging collectors from pestering them to take on lower-priced works. From artinfo.com :Three weeks after Christie s announced that it would raise its buyers commissions by about one quarter, Sotheby s has announced it will do the same, reports Bloomberg. As of Sept. 1, buyers will be charged 25 percent of the sale price on the first $20,000, 20 percent of the pri …

Lee Rosenbaum reports that Sotheby's is nearing $475 miillion in outstanding guarantees to consignors --- "just $25 million shy of its 'outstanding auction guarantee limit' of $500 million, which was set by its board earlier this month." In the comments to this post as Artworld Salon, Alexandra Peers says there's evidence that consignors "are asking for guarantees more often instead of simple cash advances or loans in advance of a sale. Advances and loans against property are down from a year ag …

Wealthy baseball fans can thank Uncle Sam. Barry Bonds' record-breaking home run ball will go to auction as early as next week, as hefty impending taxes are forcing the lucky 21-year old owner to part with his valuable souvenir. As soon as Matt Murphy caught the historical homer on August 7 at AT&T Park in San Francisco, experts believe that piece of sports memorabilia began counting as taxable income. Not exactly the best publicity for the I.R.S., as the young New York native expressed his earn …

It was noted, "It is only the fourth museum exhibition in the United States devoted to Cycladic art, and only the second to draw exclusively on objects in American collections". Christopher Chippindale and I have discussed in detail elsewhere the material and intellectual consequences of collecting Cycladic figures. And the museum was clearly aware of the issues.

Can there be a licit trade Where are the objects with secure histories Here are some possible sources: a. De-accessioned material from museums.
