Don Balke (B. 1933) "Mississippi / White Ibis" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor on Illustration Board painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood commemorative cover for Balke's Birds and Flowers of the 50 States, cancelled December 10, 1986. The quiet waters of a southern swamp reflect the reddening sunset; suddenly the sky turns white -- White Ibises from every direction swoop down to rest for the night. A cacophony of croo-croo calls resounds. Hundreds of birds beat their wings in unison, soar for a while, flap again and then sail toward the roost or rookery. Every night the trees are filled with White Ibises returning from distant tidal flat feeding grounds. North America's most common Ibis, the bird is a striking sight: its pure white plumage glistens in the light complemented with its black-edged wings; its brilliant red beak, and glowing eyes match its long pinkish red legs. Whether in soaring flight or gracefully stalking food, the White Ibis is a breathtaking sight. When the White Ibis lands at the feeding grounds, it begins to probe the muddy shallows of tidal flats and pools. Using its slender down-curved bill the Ibis searches for crustaceans and other small marine life. While feeding, the White Ibis utters a soft grunting noise. After feeding all day, the Ibises return to the roost. When taking flight, the birds trumpet urnk-hunk to announce their departure. Returning to the loosely built stick platforms, the females incubate the green-white eggs. Young Ibises are nurtured for several months before they join the flock at the feeding grounds.

Jesus Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923 - 2005)Titled: Vibrations MetalliquesSigned "Soto" on a label affixed to the reverse.Numbered: (200/250) Medium: Silkscreen on aluminum with metal elements and nylon stringsJesús Rafael Soto was born in Ciudad Bolívar and studied at the School of Visual and Applied Arts in Caracas. During this period he became acquainted with Los Disidentes, a group of artists that included Alejandro Otero and Carlos Cruz-Diez. In addition to his fellow compatriots, Soto’'s work was influenced by Kazimir Malevich and Piet Mondrian. The main artistic tenets evinced in Soto's works are pure abstraction, vibrations, progressions and geometric rigor. They can be seen through the use of lines and superimposed squares in his sculptures, made with paint and a series of industrial and synthetic materials. He spent much time in Europe, becoming a key member of the Group Zero movement, which included such artists as Lucio Fontana, Gunther Uecker and Yves Klein. As a result, Soto's work also incorporates modernist concepts such as light, time, movement, color manipulation and space. All of these facets place him as an important figure within the Kinetic and Op Art movements.Dimensions:10.5 x 11.75 x 5 in.

Wan Weisheng (Chinese, B. 1932) "Swan Swimming in Pond" Signed lower right. Original Tempera painting on Watercolor Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the China 8f Whooper Swan stamp issue of November 18, 1983. The grace and beauty of the Mute Swan has enchanted man for centuries. Gliding cross crystal waters with its long neck held in a graceful curve, this elegeant swan arches its ivory wings over its back like a feathered sail. As this ornamental swan swims through the water, it will from time to time plunge its head and neck below the surface, nibble on tender aquatic plants, and then suddenly raise up, tossing back a shower of crystal droplets onto its snow-white plumage. Captivated by this bird's magnificent beauty, the Chinese partially domesticated the Mute Swan to decorate the parks and estates of China. Truly the picture of beauty and elegance, this majestic Swan glides across the waterways of China in noble silence. These beautiful birds are often seen swimming in pairs for they select a mate for life. The male is fiercely protective of his mate and the nesting site they have chosen. When threatened, the male Swan will take an aggressive posture by bowing and arching his shimmering plumes over his back, and softly hiss a warning. Both the male and the female share the incubating duties, each taking turns so the other may feed. After hatching, the light-gray baby swans or cygnets, often ride on their parents' downy backs, cradled in their arched wings. Indeed, the mute Swan in a symbol of striking beauty as it swims gracefully through the tranquil ponds of China. Image Size: 14.5 x 17 in. Overall Size: 15.25 x 17.75 in. Unframed. (B08239)
Zhenhua Wang (Chinese, 20th C.) "Purple Tulips" Signed and stamped middle left. Watercolor on Rice Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This artwork originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 29c Tulip Booklet stamp issued January 22, 1991. "Clean as a lady, cool as glass, fresh without fragrance the tulip was," wrote poet Humbert Wolfe in 1924. His words aptly describe the crisp lines and austere elegance of this garden perennial. In 1554 O. de Busbecq, the Austrian ambassador to Turkey, spied tulips growing in a garden near Constantinople and brought a few bulbs back to Vienna. Conrad Gesner, a botanist of the era, began his own cultivation of tulips near Augsburg and soon word of this unusual flower spread throughout Europe. British and Dutch colonists brought the tulip to the Americas, and it has remained tremendously popular with serious and "week-end" gardeners alike. Lacking the heady perfume of a gardenia or tuberose and the dense, velvet blossoms of a rose, the tulip is a hardy but refined flower. Properly planted, it grows profusely but tidily. The tulip prefers moderate temperatures, well-drained soils and an occasional light shower. Like other bulb varieties, the tulip cannot withstand harsh winters. Conscientious gardeners must dig up the bulbs before the season's first hard freeze and store them in a cool, dry place. Perfect in floral arrangements, the tulip is equally impressive artfully placed in ornate bouquets or simply scattered in crystal vases. Size: 9.75 x 14 in. Unframed. (B12931)

Zhan Jianjun (China, B. 1931) "Fog in the Stone Forest" Original oil on canvas painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is an original unsigned oil on canvas by Zhan Jianjun that was commissioned directly by Helzer for Unicover. Helmuth Stone Gallery and Wind River Studios both guarantee the authenticity of this piece. This painting appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the China 8fen Fog in the Stone Forest stamp issue of September 18, 1981. Pearl gray light softens the stark outlines of rough cliff walls in China's famous Stone Forest, nature's wonderland carved in rock. Fantasy and enchantment are etched in these unusual stone formations, creating fantastic views and illusions through their everchanging shapes. In a silent, primeval sleep, these strange forms stand like ancient Druids, dark and mysterious. Wisps of fog cling to their rocky faces like spindrift, while a velvet mantle of clouds shrouds them in opaque serenity. Feathery vines garland their craggy ridges with mauve and violet fringe, bringing a delicate, fragile brightness to the lifeless, unreal forms. As haunted air entwines these stone ghosts of antiquity with a heather mist, one has the impression of being in another world, a world of mysterious secrets waiting to be uncovered. The infinity of patterns and hues of the rock formations in the Stone Forest opens a new world of boundless vision to the visitor. Indeed, what can be seen here is limited only by the imagination, varied by the subtle and shifting moods of the days and seasons. Split and carved as if by some magic power into fantastic and even grotesque shapes, the cliffs of China's Stone Forest are pictured in this artwork in a veiled mist. Imbued with the mystery and fantasy of nature, the age-old secrets of these mysterious formations await the thoughtful discovery of contemplation and imagination. Image Size: 27.5 x 23.5 in.

Donald Moss (1920 - 2010) "The Biltmore House". Signed lower right. Original Oil painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 18c Biltmore House stamp issued August 28, 1981. More than any other American architect of his day, Richard Morris Hunt created buildings that suited the taste of the very rich. His lavish country home, Biltmore House, epitomizes this talent. Built for George Vanderbilt amid the lofty grandeur of the Blue Ridge Mountains, it is a strikingly beautiful monument to the wealth of a Gilded Age. To create a mansion of the splendor his client desired, Hunt took inspiration from the Renaissance chateaux of France. Flying buttresses, clusters of pinnacles, gables and gothic chimneys combine in this towering house to make the surrounding mountains, as architect Hunt declared, "in scale with the house." Inside, the home is just as grand. Chandeliers, bejeweled with Thomas Edison's newly devised light bulbs, hang pendant-like amid a swirling marble and bronze staircase that reaches -- from appearances -- all the way to heaven. The library is paneled in rich, Circassian walnut and reflects both the taste and the wealth of a man who could afford to travel the world learning eight languages and cultivating a taste for art and literature. Today, the lavish Biltmore House is a museum with a collection of paintings, sculpture, prints and furniture that is a marvel to the modern age. Stately and remote, the house towers over landscaped gardens and rolling lawns, a testimony to the skill and vision of architect Hunt, the pioneer of palace building in America.

Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "Sandy Hook Lighthouse, NJ" Signed lower left. Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 25c Sandy Hook stamp issued April 26, 1990. The Sandy Hook Lighthouse is the oldest maritime light tower still in use in the United States. Built by the British, the beacon was lighted for the first time on June 11, 1764. Though it was originally called the "New York Lighthouse," the tower stands on the New Jersey side of Lower New York Bay. Upon its completion, Sandy Hook Lighthouse was described as a "house of an octagon figure, having eight equal sides; the diameter at the base, twenty-nine feet; and at the top of the wall, fifteen feet. The lantern is seven feet high; the circumference, fifteen feet. The whole construction of the lantern is iron; the top covered with copper. There are forty-eight oil blazes. The building from the surface is nine stories; the whole from bottom to top, one hundred and three feet." After the revolutionary war, Sandy Hook Lighthouse was ceded to the infant United States by the state of New Jersey, and the new government agreed to maintain the beacon thereafter. One of George Washington's first acts as President was to direct that a light be kept burning permanently at Sandy Hook. Over ten thousand dollars was raised for its maintenance between 1804 and 1817, and by 1832 there were two lighthouses lighting Sandy Hook, one to the north and one to the west. Today, one beacon remains, and will hopefully survive for many years through the efforts of the federal government and the lighthouse preservation movement. Image Size: 13.5 x 12 in.

Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "Admiralty Head Lighthouse" Signed lower right. Oil on Canvas. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.This painting appeared on the Fleetwood First Day of Issue Maximum Card for the U.S. 25c Admiralty Head stamp issued April 26, 1990. From man's earliest seafaring days, beacons have guided ancient navigators through troubled waters. As early as 280 B.C., man-made lighthouses like the Egyptians' Pharos marked harbors and headwaters. Considered one of the seven wonders of the world, the Pharos reputedly rose four hundred and fifty feet into the air and had a wood fire burning at its top. From these beginnings, the lighthouse developed into a priceless navigational tool such as the beacon at Admiralty Head, Washington, positioned at the east entrance to Admiralty Inlet and the Puget Sound. The life of this lighthouse was relatively brief. The lighthouse was built in 1903 and was touted as the most comfortable dwelling on the coast, but the maritime traffic pattern had changed by the mid 1920's and the lantern was removed from this tower in 1927. Though no light has gleamed from Admiralty Head in more than six decades, the structure has become one of the most popular tourist attractions of the area. The lighthouse was restored and opened to the public by the Washington State Parks and Island County Historical Society and though there is still no lantern on the tower, a lantern used at the nearby Alki Lighthouse is on display in Admiralty Head's rotunda. Similar efforts by The Lighthouse Preservation Society and its friends will hopefully keep America's early lighthouses from disappearing quietly into the annals of history.

Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "1900s - Model T Automobile, Henry Ford" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Illustration Board painting. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. Celebrate the Century Series 32c Model T Ford stamp issued February 3, 1998. In 1908 Henry Ford produced the first Model T, a sputtering, backfiring contraption that would soon put America on wheels. The first Model T originally sold for $850, but once Ford got his assembly line working to perfection, adapting techniques employed by the meat packing industry, the price dropped dramatically. By 1913 Ford's Detroit plant was assembling 1,000 Model T's daily and by 1924, Americans could buy a new Ford for an amazing $290! "I am going to democratize the automobile," Ford said, "and when I'm through, everybody will be able to afford one." Affectionately dubbed the "Tin Lizzie," the Model T was light, durable, simply constructed and easy for any backyard mechanic to work on. Best of all, it had an exceptionally high clearance that enabled it to maneuver on or off America's country roads, which at that time were little more than rugged, rutted trails that turned to rivers of mud during a hard rain. Still, Ford's stubborn refusal to improve the Model T would eventually result in its demise, as he insisted there would be "no new models, no new motors, no new bodies, and no new colors." By the late 1920s, as Americans came to prefer style and comfort in their automobiles, the Model T's popularity diminished. But because of the extraordinary "Tin Lizzie," America would never be the same again. Image Size: 14.75 x 11.75 in. Overall Size: 22.25 x 16 in. Unframed. (B15825)
