Drawn With Spirit: Pennsylvania German Fraktur From The Joan And Victor Johnson Collection Exhibition To Be Held At The Philadelphia Museum Of Art Through Sunday, April 26 ne of the most admired forms of American folk art, frakturshriften are decorated Germanic documents featuring brilliant colors and often whimsical imagery. Transplanted to Pennsylvania by German-speaking immigrants in the 1700s, these hand-drawn or printed works on paper are distinguished by a broken (or “fractured”) style of lettering. Most were executed in ink and watercolor and embellished with hearts, flowers, birds, angels, and other lively motifs. Small yet exuberant, fraktur celebrated important moments in the personal and domestic lives of Pennsylvania
O
Germans, who tended to store the documents inside Bibles or chests rather than framing and displaying them on walls. The most common types of fraktur are birth and baptismal certificates, writing samples, house blessings, bookplates, rewards of merit, family records, valentines, New Year’s greetings, and religious subjects or texts. Philadelphians Joan and Victor Johnson have collected Pennsylvania German fraktur since the late 1950s. “Fraktur in those days was something we could afford, as my mother would say, with my ‘roast beef money,’ anything left over from the budget that
week. Whenever I saw something I liked, I bought it,” said Joan. Gradually, over the course of more than 50 years, the Johnsons assembled one of the finest private holdings of this material in the country. In 2012, they promised their fraktur collection (about 230 works, dating between roughly 1750 and 1860 and mostly made in southeastern Pennsylvania) to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), thereby more than doubling the museum’s fraktur collection and exponentially increasing its breadth, depth, and quality. One of the first major American institutions to acquire Pennsylvania German folk art, beginning in the early 1890s, the
PMA has one of the most important collections of this type in the country. The Johnsons’ generous gift will place the museum’s fraktur collection on par with the rest of its Pennsylvania German art holdings. An exhibition curated by Ann Percy showcasing a selection of the Johnsons’ promised gift of fraktur is currently open to the public, showcasing a variety of Pennsylvania German decorative arts from the museum’s collection, including painted furniture, redware pottery, and metalwork. With this presentation, visitors can readily explore how a common vocabulary of colorful and engaging (Continued on page 2)

New Book Presents One Of The Finest Groups Of Pennsylvania German Fraktur Ever Assembled In Its Entirety he Yale University Press is pleased to announce the publication of “Drawn with Spirit: Pennsylvania German Fraktur from the Joan and Victor Johnson Collection” by Lisa Minardi. Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA), the book features an interview by Ann Percy and is the companion to an exhibition of the collection open at the PMA through Sunday, April 26. Among the most beloved forms of American folk art, fraktur is a Germanic tradition of decorated manuscripts and printed documents noted for its use of bold colors and whimsical motifs. The PMA makes a landmark contribution to the study of Pennsylvania German fraktur with the publication of “Drawn with Spirit.” This catalog and the associated exhibition offer the most comprehensive study of the topic in over 50 years. The featured objects, most of which have never been published, accompany significant new information about the artists who made these works and the people who owned them. An introductory essay sets the renowned Johnson collection within the context of collecting and scholarship on Pennsylvania German folk art and then highlights major new discoveries, including connections between fraktur and related
T
examples of furniture and prints. An interview with the collectors offers valuable insights into the formation of this special group of objects, which includes birth and baptismal certificates, bookplates, religious texts, writing samples, house blessings, cutworks, and printed broadsides. The color illustrations reveal schools of artistic and regional influence, giving a nuanced understanding of how artists took inspiration from one another and how designs were transferred to new locations. Detailed catalog entries include extensive information about each piece as well as useful translations. About the author Lisa Minardi is an assistant curator at Winterthur Museum in Delware and a specialist in Pennsylvania German art and culture. A Pennsylvania native, she earned a B.A. in history and museum studies from Ursinus College and an M.A. from the Winterthur Program in Early American Culture. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the History of American Civilization Program at the University of Delaware. The publication date is Tuesday, Feb 17. The hardcover book is $65.

Merv Adams: A Pennsylvania Auctioneering Legend By Karl Pass
“I started my auction career in 1951 and joined the PAA in 1952,” said Millersburg, Dauphin County, Pa., retired auctioneer Merv Adams of Adams Auction Sales Service. Adams is a legend within the state’s auctioneering community and remains active with the Pennsylvania Auctioneers Association (PAA). The organization recently held their 67th annual conference in
Harrisburg, and Adams attended. “We didn’t have chapters at the time when I joined. In 1970, I served as president and in 1995 was auctioneer of the year,” said Adams. He has also been inducted into the organization’s Hall of Fame. Adams taught auctioneering for a brief period in the early ’80s at Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) around the time of the school’s auctioneering program inception. Adams’ auctioneering license is #2. Since that time, 5,928 licenses have been issued in the state. “In 1963, I started coin specialty sales. Prior to that, it was farm sales and equipment,” stated Adams. Coin sales are what Merv’s son, Steven, is cont i n u i n g . Steven, of Halifax, Pa., took over his f a t h e r ’s business. According
™
to the elder Adams, there used to be two types of coin buyers: the collector and the dealer. In more recent years, the investor has entered the speciality market due to the price of gold and silver. Gold and silver are globally recognized commodities and universally valuable, as explained Adams. “If it’s silver, it’s worth more than its face,” said Adams. Adams is a long-time supporter and advertiser in Antiques & Auction News. “I think a lot of the people at the publication. I first met the founder Joel Sater at the PAA conference in 1970, where he was a speaker,” said Adams.

about it! A few other quick pointers. Bidding online is great but if you know the auctioneer, then consider leaving a bid or doing a phone bid. Often, to do that is far cheaper than the online bidding fees. Be punctual in paying for items or taking delivery of them. Nothing frustrates an auctioneer more than to have items banging around his or her warehouse while a consignor gets around to paying for them and picking them up. Finally, bidding and buying is a contract, so reneging on a purchase is not cool. I have seen lots of folks do this and it neither endears them to the auctioneer, consignor, or to fellow collectors.

In my last column, I wrote about consigning items to auctions. This week, I want to take a look at the art of buying at auctions. Having worked both sides of an auction for a long time, I still am no closer to understanding the psychology of what and why things happen. Sometimes the moment is right and the prices are crazy and sometimes it is wrong and things crash and burn. What then is the secret to buying at an auction? Many years ago, I went to a bunch of sales with a dealer named John Neidinger. He was a great friend and I learned a lot from him about the antiques world. One night, we both drove down to preview an auction in northern Lancaster County. We got there and he spent more than two hours with the materials. I got bored about an hour into
being “fresh to the market,” and setting limits as to what you will spend. Some years ago, I remember watching a wealthy collector bidding on an object at a country sale. In the midst of bidding, he turned to a collector nearby and asked, “Is this worth it?” I was aghast, as it was clear that the wealthy collector had neither looked at the piece nor even understood what it was. He simply was bidding on it because others were and he had no idea if it was good or important. Also, asking another collector, while you are bidding for yourself, about whether a piece is good is probably not going to get you a great, or even honest, answer. Think

it and sat down to watch. What he did was to personally inspect every lot he was even mildly interested in bidding on. Nothing missed him, although to my eye it looked like just a normal sale with a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. It was only later that I figured it all out. His thoughtful and careful check of every lot ensured that when he was at the sale the following day, he would only bid on the lots that he wanted. He was watching his expenses and could not afford to be caught on an impulse buy. It was a smart lesson to have learned and one that all auction buyers should consider. That being said, I think we all have been in the position of bidding on something that perhaps we don’t want but which seems like such a bargain. Then when you get it for your “bargain” price, you soon discover that it has a problem and you are stuck. Auctions are a great place to buy but only if you have the self-discipline to go after what you want and ignore all the seeming “bargains” being offered for sale. That discipline begins with knowing your subject matter, not getting caught in the hype of it

exposed metal underneath, and where metal is exposed to the elements, rust inevitably occurs. This happened in random places on signs, not just along the edges, so be cautious of any sign that only shows edge rust while the rest of the sign is relatively unscathed. That typically indicates false aging through forced rusting. Does the sign have a location on it that includes a state

as Miss. for Mississippi, Ala. for Alabama, etc. States with shorter names had no abbreviations, like Ohio and Maine. It was on July 1, 1963, that the post office department changed state abbreviations to the current two-letter system, which is also when they brought ZIP codes into being. If the sign you’re looking at is claiming to be older than 1963 and has the wrong type of state abbreviation or has a ZIP code, it’s an inaccurate modern fake. In 1958, seven-digit phone numbers began replacing phone numbers that started with names or two letters. There was a phasing-in process that took longer in some areas of the country than others; in fact, it took a total of 15 years to complete. So if a vintage sign has the old two-letter prefix, you’d have to do some research to find out when the change took place for that exchange in the area the sign is purportedly from. If reputable reference sources or experts indicate that the sign you’re interested in is supposed to be hand painted, the lettering shouldn’t be exactly uniform. There should be some differences, even if minor, in height, letter width, etc., and the same letter wouldn’t be perfectly formed each time it appears that only happens with computerized or mechanically produced signage.

curvy letters are more difficult to paint by hand, so they would show the greatest variations). You’ll also see brush strokes, but you should definitely not see the tell-tale dots of a computerized image. Dale Fenton, long-time sign collector and owner of the excellent and highly informative website Porcelain Signs (www.porcelainsigns.com), has more tips on what to look for when buying vintage porcelain signs. Details like the placement and number of mounting holes, the importance of knowing what shape a sign should be, what to look for in a sign’s grommets, stamps, and what to look for in the quality of a sign are all important factors that Fenton explains on his website. You’ll also find thousands of sign photos you can compare against and use as learning tools. All photos courtesy Dale Fenton, www.porcelainsigns.com. At A Glance Signs of a Reproduction: 1. Incorrect type of state abbreviation or phone number for the year. 2. Multiple identical signs from the same seller. 3. Hand painted signs with no variations in lettering. 4. Rust only on edges, center near mint condition. 5. Blurry graphics or lack of details. 6. Wrong materials for the time period. Reference books, websites, and collecting groups are the best ways to keep from being fooled by fakes. Here are a few: Porcelain Signs (www.porcelainsigns.com); “Signs of Our Past: Porcelain Enamel Advertising in America” by Mike Bruner; and Antique Advertising Association of America (http://www.pastimes.org/ aaaa.html).

S875287
Probably one of the most nostalgia-inducing collectibles is vintage and antique advertising signs. Whenever they appear at auctions, people always seem to start reminiscing about the time period, if not about the place or product being advertised. In my mind, they always seem to evoke images of old small-town America, even though many of the signs were used in cities as well. I remember as a child passing an old rusting Sinclair sign with the characteristic green dinosaur that stood high above a decaying old gas station on a country road for years and years after the place had closed. The sign had become a sort of landmark for me and made me smile. I’ve always hoped that sign ended up in the hands of an appreciative collector. Signs were utilitarian things, made to attract customers on foot or driving along the road. They were constantly exposed to the elements and to those looking for easy target practice with shotguns or stones. Between the two they took a lot of abuse, so a perfectly clean sign with no wear or damage would be a definite warning. (There’s always the possible rarity of finding an unused sign with no damage, but you’d need to check it further to make sure). When it comes to buying vintage signs online, any
seller who continually carries multiples of the same sign is probably peddling reproductions, which is fine as long as they’re advertised as such. This is especially true if the signs have the same wear or missed paint areas. Porcelain signs that were hung outdoors were faded by sunlight, battered by storms and hit by anything that flew in the wind, including branches and bits of refuse. Cars kicked up small stones, especially on dirt roads, and kids threw rocks at signs for fun. All these things caused dents and some caused chips. Where there’s a chip, there’s

Ask the Appraiser.... Question #1 I have a pair of Venetian wood Blackamoors. Right and left pair in pristine condition, 57 inches high, that belonged to my grandparents in Milan. Upon my grandmother’s death in the mid1980s, they were sent to me. I have no idea what they may be worth. Do you have any additional information on them? Thanks! Laura
their long standing popularity many other materials, sizes and forms featuring Blackamoors can be found including candelabra, wall brackets, figurines, humidors and more. Your examples feature a typical polychrome painted and gessoed finish and appear to be from the 19th century. Such examples in good condition are still prized today, yours could fetch anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 for the pair at auction. To view a wide range of Blackamoor figures, jewelry and decorative items of various ages, visit www.pinterest.com/gblynnjewels/~blackamoor-~/ or www.rubylane.com/search/,q=blackamoor,c=Blackamoor,ipp=30. Question #2 Attached is a front view of a fixture we have been told dates to 1832. Can you provide a general price estimate from this photo in order to help us decide to leave it attached as part of the home being sold or detach and sell separately.
Answer Dear Laura, Blackamoor figures have a long and interesting history dating back to the 17th century in Europe and more specifically in Venice, Italy. During this time, European society began to admire the stature and fighting ability of North African warriors. They were enlisted by wealthy European families and nobility as soldiers, personal bodyguards, and court bearers. Venetian sculptors soon began carving life-sized likenesses of them (known as “Blackamoors,” a slang term of the time referring to any dark-skinned person) out of wood, typically in native dress, either standing to hold a candelabra, torcher, or jardinière or in a crouched position for use as a table, footstool, or cabinet. Other Italian sculptors soon followed suit. Blackamoor figures continued to be made throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. They experienced a resurgence in popularity during the mid-19th century as interest in the Baroque style and the Orient grew. Because of

Much obliged, Bernie
Answer Dear Bernie, Your brass harp form fixture with frosted glass shade is an example of a hanging gas light. While gas lighting of buildings and streets was in use early in the 19th century, gas lighting in homes didn’t become prevalent until the 1860s. Prior to this, homes were lit either with oil

lamps or candles. Gas fixtures remained in use throughout the late Victorian era (along with candles and oil and kerosene lamps) until just after World War I when electric fixtures became the principle source of home lighting. Your example dates from the period of 1870 to 1890. Interestingly, the period of 1901 to circa 1914 saw all four principle methods of lighting (candles, oil lamps, gas and electric) in use at the same time. Hanging gas lights ranged from simple single light examples like yours to large and elaborate gasoliers with multiple burners. Because of the simple design of this example, I would expect it to realize $150 to $300 at auction. To learn more about Victorian lighting, visit www.buildingconservation.c om/articles/lighting/lighting.htm. For examples of antique lighting from 1830 to 1930, visit www.antique light.com/.

Smack Dab In The Middle: Design Trends Of The Mid-20th Century Cat Tales: Collectible Cat Figurines By DonaldBrian Johnson
Cats. They put the “purr” in “personality.” There are frisky cats. Sleepy cats. Curious, talkative, regal, and ask-my-permission-before-you-pet-me cats. Try telling a cat owner that “they all look alike to me.” The invariable response will be a pitying smile. All look alike? Well, you just haven’t met the right cat. Much of what’s collected figural-cat-wise in the United States dates from the mid20th century. During the uncertain years of World War II, “keeping the home fires burning” became an even cozier prospect when there was a cat dozing by the fireside. Plenty of cats meant plenty of cat-lovers, eager to be reminded on a regular basis of their feline favorites. That

of decorative giftware. Across the country, from the 1930s onward, never-ending litters of cat figurines scampered forth from factories. Ceramic cats. Glass cats. Chalk, tin, wood, papiermaché, and cloth cats. The
medium didn’t much matter. As long as it was threedimensional, buyers were primed to pounce. The most prevalent midcentury cat figurines are those fashioned from ceramic.
Hand-carved molds allowed for realistic, cat-like body curvature, and the smooth consistency of ceramic lent itself well to colorful glazes and detailed surface decoration. Few ceramic firms could resist adding to the menagerie. Madison’s Ceramic Arts Studio even used Betty Harrington’s kitten design, “Bright Eyes,” as a test piece for would-be CAS decorators. If they could successfully give “Bright Eyes” her signature inquisitive gaze and colorful neck bow, the job was theirs. Ceramist Howard Pierce went for the abstract: the eyes and ears of his creations were exaggeratedly catlike; the rest was left to the viewer’s imagination. Cats by Haeger

Collectible Cat Figurines Mattel. Glass cats were also popular. These could be pressed, molded, blown, fused, or created through a combination of glassmaking techniques. In a blown glass figurine, interior bubbling added texture to the cat’s fur. Fusing meant that other elements could be added to the mix. Flexible wire legs and whiskers imbedded in the glass body, for instance, allowed the cat to be posed in true catlike style. There were folk art cats too, the designs as individualized as cats themselves. Every material, from clay to shelf mushrooms to Mayan marble, seems to have been used at one time or another as a basis for folk cat figurals. Most common are wooden cats, hand-carved and hand-painted, their styling deliberately primitive. Metal proved adaptable as well.

mood for metal opted for tin cats, often brought back as souvenirs from trips south of the border. The most personal examples of figural folk art are cloth cats, usually stuffed and sewn at home, their decoration either the result of painstaking needlework or of liberally applied fabric paint. Not all cat figurines are created equal. Many were imported knockoffs or were cheaply made by unknown manufacturers and fashioned from the least costly materials. But sometimes, even alley cats have an irresistible scruffy charm. Today, cats are the most popular giftware subject. Not just the most popular animal, but the most popular subject. (Sorry, Fido. Sorry, Elvis). At last count, there were well over 1,000 stores across the country devoted solely to selling cat-themed items. So what conclusion can we draw from all of this?

Together the pictures show Leibovitz at the height of her powers and pondering how photographs, including her own, shape a narrative of history that informs the present.
