Heritage

Continued from page 2 There was nothing little about the Little Dot No. 1 graded CGC Near Mint+ 9.6 in this auction, as this popular book among collectors, featuring the debuts of Richie Rich and his pal Dorothy Polka, led to one of the most heated bidding wars of the entire affair. The result: a new auction record of $78,000 for this Harvey Comics key.

realized at Heritage for that Golden Age gem behind only the legendary near-mintplus 9.6 Mile High copy. Captain Marvel, too, was struck by lightning in this auction when a CGC Very Good- 3.5 copy of his 1940 debut in Whiz Comics No. 1 sold for $120,000. That’s easily a new record for this rare and historical key, whose highest price ever realized was $173,275 for a CGC FN 6.0 four years ago.

But it wasn’t only superheroes setting records last weekend or, for that matter, comic books and original art.

Continued from page 6

Another debut set a new auction record last weekend: Robert E. Howard’s legendary Conan the Cimmerian made his first appearance in the December 1932 issue of the pulp magazine Weird the enjoyment of our visitors. We had the pleasure of getting to know this compelling portrait very well in 2019, when it was one of the highlights of “Moroni: The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture,” the special exhibition that introduced this artist to American audiences. At that time, the portrait was considered one of the finest by Moroni in private hands. We are thrilled to now include it in our permanent collection, thanks to Aso’s great generosity,” commented Ian Wardropper, Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen director.

“‘Portrait of a Woman’ was a star of our Moroni show, holding pride of place at the center of the Frick’s Oval Room. The canvas is a triumph painted at the height of the artist’s career, and its superb quality and condition are perfectly at home among the treasures of the Frick,” added curator Aimee Ng, who co-organized the acclaimed 2019 exhibition.

Giovanni Battista Moroni (1520/24–1579/80) spent his career painting in and around his native Bergamo, in

Tales. Fine copies of that historic title have long been increasing in price, but it took a significant jump in this auction, realizing $19,200. The timing is certainly fortuitous for consignors and collectors: Over the next 14 months, Heritage will offer the historic Jack and Joanie Kump Collection of pulps.

Lombardy, then part of the Venetian Republic. His portraits are celebrated for the psychological presence and lifelikeness of the sitters, as well as his extreme attention to detail, particularly to his subjects’ clothing and accessories, sumptuous fineries that signal wealth, status, and fashion.

The identity of the woman and the reason Moroni painted her are unknown. Her strong, somewhat confrontational gaze is unconventional in Renaissance portraits of women, which tend to promote a more modest demeanor. Whatever the purpose of the portrait, which probably was painted about 1575, Moroni demonstrates his exceptional skill in depicting the woman’s pink dress brocaded in silver-gilt and silverwound thread, white neck ruff, and fine jewelry, which also ornaments her hair. Of the roughly 125 portraits by Moroni that are known today, only about 15 are independent portraits of women, and this is the finest example.

The Frick Madison is located at 945 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y.
