Paul Manship Exhibition At The Wadsworth Atheneum Examines The Artist’s Conversation With Antiquity “Paul Manship: Ancient Made Modern” Opens Feb. 11

A 1964 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Brings $10,500 PA Auction Center held a large cataloged multi-consignor sale on Jan. 9 at 1141 Wea Wit Street in East Earl, Pa. There were 162 registered bidders onsite and 957 online. A nice array of tools, local collectibles, and This Abner Zook public auction farm scene diorama sold for $27,500.

A collection of 34 pedal tractors averaged $450 each, with the top seller being a John Deere 130 that brought $700.

Paul Manship’s “Fire (from The Four Elements)” was commissioned in 1914, and installed 1921 in the American Telephone and Telegraph Building, 195 Broadway, New York City (designed by Wm Welles Bosworth), parcel-gilt bronze relief. The image is courtesy of Gerald Peters Gallery, private collection, courtesy of the estate of Paul Manship. One of the most celebrated American sculptors of the early 20th century, Paul Manship (18851966) blended ancient motifs to fit modern sensibilities. After studying at the American Academy in Rome (1909-12), Manship returned to New York City, where his dramatic, energetic works in bronze reinterpreted forms, stories, and styles of the past for the modern American age. His streamlined, Art Deco style and ability to represent his subjects at peak moments of drama attracted critical acclaim, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s. Seen together in this exhibition, his signature bronzes and associated sketches paired with ancient artifacts illuminate how Manship became a master of sampling imagery and

melding disparate visual elements from multiple cultural traditions. “Today we call this a mash-up,” says Erin Monroe, Robert H. Schutz Jr. associate curator of American paintings and sculpture at the Wadsworth. “It’s a practice that has permeated popular culture, in music, fashion, and the visual arts, for example.” “Paul Manship: Ancient Made Modern,” the first museum exhibition in 30 years and novel in its examination of this aspect of the artist’s work, will be Continued on page 2

I’ve stated many times on my “What’s It Worth” radio show that I believe we’re in the “golden age of nonprofit donations.” What I mean by this is that as the baby boomer generation moves, downsizes, and passes on, the value of many of their antiques, collectibles and household items has declined in value. They no longer want them, and their children don’t want them. With shifting markets, declining prices, and changing tastes, auctioneers are picky for consignments. Many antique and collectible dealers are buying less because they are selling less. With fewer or, in most cases, no shows, the outlets to sell have been reduced, and many dealers are investing less capital in inventory. For many, a viable option is to donate no longer wanted items to a nonprofit group who will re-sell to benefit a specific cause, but, in many cases, the investment of having an appraisal should be conducted to avoid a “treasure” from being identified as “trash.” Whether by the original purchaser or the family who has inherited unwanted estate items, all too often treasures are being

donated as trash today. For example, an $800 Rookwood art pottery vase was donated as a chotchkee. A $1,500 18-carat gold bracelet was donated as costume jewelry; a $2,500 sterling silver flatware set was donated as silverplate; a $4,500 original modern artwork was donated as a reproduction print; and a $20,000 diamond wedding ring was donated as a cubic zirconia. What’s it worth? This “treasure donated as trash” list is obviously just a fraction of donation mistakes made daily throughout the country, and nonprofits love it. To prevent this from happening to you, consider having a professional appraiser perform a house or estate contents appraisal. Pick one who has no interest in buying from you.

Mike Ivankovich is an auctioneer, appraiser, home downsizing expert, and host of the “What’s It Worth? Ask Mike the Appraiser” radio show that airs live in the Philadelphia area on Friday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. EST on WBCB 1490 AM and on the internet at www.WBCB1490.com.

Greece, and Egypt. In addition, archival views of Manship in his studio are displayed alongside his sculpting tools borrowed from the Manship Artists Residency Studios in Gloucester, Mass. Digital Initiatives The exhibition will be accompanied by a multimedia mobile tour, a virtual tour, and supplemented by additional digital features. In the digital realm, the iconography and design of three Manship sculptures are highlighted with text and detailed images, richly illustrated by the artist’s sketches, travel logs, and photographs drawn from the Manship Archive. These rarely seen diaries offer an in-depth visual experience to be enjoyed from afar or within the exhibition. The Manship archive is overseen by Rebecca Reynolds, founder and director of Manship Artists Residency and Studios. “We are delighted to collaborate on projects that introduce new audiences to Manship’s life and work and celebrate his legacy,” says Reynolds. “Manship Artists Residency and Studios is especially grateful for this opportunity to share valuable insight into the formation of Manship’s style and his influence on popular culture in the 20th century through the rich Manship Family Archives. As an institution devoted to supporting artists on their artistic-realization journey, we welcome the chance to expose the critical role artists can play in society by helping us look to the past as we examine where we are today and where we want to go from here.” About Paul Manship Paul Manship (18851966) was one of the most celebrated American artists of the first half of the 20th century. He was the youngest fellow ever awarded a Rome prize in 1909, the highest honor accorded artists at the time and an opportunity to connect with a cornucopia of artistic legacies, including Mediterranean antiquities. Manship returned from his fellowship at the American Academy in Rome to become one of the most sought-after sculptors in the U.S., a defining figure in the American Art Deco world for over two decades.

Milestone Auctions’ Premier Antique and Modern Firearms Auctions traditionally include the cream of the crop from many categories, ranging from provenanced early arms associated with historic battles to high-condition, fresh-to-the-market examples from noted private collections. That’s what bidders can look forward to seeing on Saturday, Jan. 30, at Milestone’s exceptional 832lot sale. All forms of remote bidding will be available to those who cannot attend in person, including live online. Two highly refined collections will be offered in their entirety, the late Gary Thomas’ military gun collection, and the Phil Majerich collection of early explorers’ traps and accoutrements. Both of these long-held collections were amassed primarily through private transactions, therefore 99 percent of their contents have never before appeared at auction. Ohioan Gary Thomas, who passed away in September of 2020, specified in his will that he wished for his collection to be auctioned by Milestone. “Gary built one of the largest private collections of military weapons with ‘bring-back’ paperwork – documents that proved GIs had the legal right to return home to America with their war trophies,” said Chris Sammet, co-owner of Milestone Auctions. “This sort of paperwork is considered the ultimate in authentication, as it tells us who carried a particular gun, where it was used, and its serial number.” The Thomas collection also includes one of the largest known private collections of documented Vietnam War weapons.

Holland & Holland’s clientele, and they’re going to work extremely well at Morphy’s,” said Morphy. Holland & Holland is a highly regarded gun manufacturer and clothing retailer that was founded in London in 1835. They hold two prestigious Royal Warrants, one by appointment to HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, and the other by appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales. “It speaks volumes that Holland & Holland hired Dave as operations manager and that he thrived there for 20 years,” stated Morphy. A New York City native whose love of the outdoors began when he was just a boy, Cruz learned to fire a .22-caliber rifle while earning badges as a Cub and Boy Scout and during camping trips with family and friends. “Those were some of my best boyhood memories, and it’s how I developed confidence with firearms. I wanted to be an outdoorsman and hunter. As I got older, my fascination for outdoor life only increased. I loved going fishing with my friends in Roscoe, N.Y., which is known as Trout Town USA,” said Cruz. In his 20s, Cruz went to work in retail fashion, representing premier designers that included Prada, Hilfiger, Armani, Zegna, and the company whose goods struck a special chord with him: Ralph Lauren. “I loved working there because, like their sportswear lines, the atmosphere there gave me a feeling of country life,” said Cruz. “I worked with the creative teams that produced the window displays and showrooms for the press. Some replicated Old West saloons or Western settings, which fit in with Ralph Lauren’s country lines. Many of Ralph Lauren’s clothing patterns were inspired by British gun firms that specialized in hunting and shooting, including Holland & Holland.” That connection was what led to Cruz’s many visits to Holland & Holland’s Manhattan gun room, which was near Ralph Lauren’s headquarters. “I’d study the guns and how they operated. At the same time, I got to know many of the executives there.” Following his employment with Ralph Lauren, Cruz went to work for Holland & Holland and remained there until an economic downturn led to company-wide layoffs. He then

accepted a position with the Swiss luxury goods company Bally; however, that didn’t last long. “One day I went up to Holland & Holland’s gunroom on my lunch break. The gunroom manager was still working there and took me into the boardroom, where five executives were meeting. He said, ‘Remember Dave? He’s our new U.S. operations manager.’ That’s how quickly it happened, and that’s how a 20-year career with Holland & Holland started,” said Cruz. Working for Holland & Holland was “the best training ground imaginable, not just for learning about Holland and Holland guns, but other British and European makes as well. If a customer came in and wanted to trade up to a Holland, they might bring in a Purdey or other brand. Together with their on-premises gunsmith, I was able to examine lots of different types of guns. To me, the best part of it all was being able to interact with people.” When Holland & Holland relocated its U.S. operations to Texas in 2017, Cruz was offered the opportunity to move with them. Reluctantly, Cruz declined because of family obligations. Instead, he and a colleague, Robert Pearson, accepted their severance and opened a retail gun shop in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. Two years ago, Cruz met Dan Morphy at a convention in Dallas and was invited to do some freelance gun-cataloging work. The association worked out well, and in 2020, conversations ensued about Cruz’s joining the Morphy organization full-time. It finally came to fruition on Jan. 5. As part of Morphy’s firearms team, Dave Cruz will represent the company at firearms shows, liaise with potential consignors, and create catalog descriptions for high-end sporting firearms. “I’m happy and excited for the future, both for Morphy’s and myself. I think I can be an asset when it comes to evaluating sporting guns and helping out with clients. My past experience was geared toward the consumer, both on the selling or buying end. I like paying attention to customers’ needs and place a high value on building relationships and making sure everyone involved in a transaction is happy.” To contact David Cruz, call 877-968-8880 or email Dave.Cruz@Morphy Auctions.com.

The visionary behind Ideals’ success was Van B. Hooper. As public relations manager for Milwaukee’s Louis Allis Company, his responsibilities included putting together an in-house newsletter. To relieve the dreary humdrum of reports on the firm’s daily doings, Hooper began adding artwork, quotations, and poetry. The new and improved newsletter was a hit with Allis employees, who shared it with friends and neighbors. Soon, the company found itself fielding requests
