Paul Calle (1928 - 2010) and Chris Calle (B. 1961) "1950s - World Series Rivals" Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 33c World Series Rivals stamp issued May 26, 1999. Baseball has always been America's great national pastime. In 1876, the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs was organized. The rival American League followed suit in 1901. As World War II came to a close, many of the sport's most talented players returned to the game from overseas duty. Subsequently, baseball fever swept the nation during the 1950s. Who could forget such Brooklyn greats as Don Newcombe, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson? The Yanks boasted stars like Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Billy Martin, Yogi Berra and Phil Rizzuto. In 1951, the first baseball game was nationally televised -- a three-game playoff between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers for the National League crown. In 1952, the American League's New York Yankees and the National League's Brooklyn Dodgers met for baseball's premier event, the World Series. The Yankees swept the Series four games to three. The two teams met again in the following year's World Series. Again, the Yankees came out on top, winning 4-2 in games. In 1955, the Yankees were singing a different song as the Dodgers swept the Series four games to three. The next year, however, the Yanks were back in top form, winning the 1956 World Series four games to three. Image Size: 15 x 12.75 in. Overall Size: 23 x 16 in. Unframed. (B16417 / B16418)
Tom Lydon (American, B. 1944) "Lou Gehrig" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Construction Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. After baseball became popular in the early 1900's, major league officials appointed a commission to investigate the origins of the game. Despite the plentiful information to the contrary, the commissioners reported that Abner Doubleday invented the sport in 1839 in Cooperstown, New York. Actually, historians today doubt Doubleday played a large role, if any, in the creation of baseball. Still, the rules used today are similar to rules used during Doubleday's time, with the exception of a few important changes adopted during the second half of the nineteenth century. For instance, early games were played until one team scored twenty-one points. The present nine-inning rule wasn't adopted until 1857. Then, as now, three strikes made an out -- but initially strikes had to be pitches swung at and missed. When a coach in the early days said, "Wait for the right one," the batter might wait a long, long time -- thrown strikes weren't recognized until 1868. Furthermore, a batter couldn't be walked until 1879, and even then only after nine balls; the present four-ball walk rule was introduced in 1889. These rule changes led the way to modern baseball and legendary players like Lou Gehrig. Image Size: 10.25 x 17 in. Overall Size: 15.75 x 20 in. Unframed. (B11896)
Dennis Lyall (American, B. 1946) "USA Olympic Hockey Wins over USSR Team" Signed lower center. Original Oil on Canvas board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original painting which was published on the Fleetwood Commerative Cover for Old Glory's Proudest Moments postmarked on the anniversary February 22, 2002. In hockey the puck -- hard rubber disk whose function is comparable to a ball in other sports -- draws the attention of twelve, well-padded players on skates. Using angled wooden sticks (in French a "hoquet" is a shepherd's crook) to catch and pass the puck, players sprint up, down and across a 200-foot long rectangular arena called a rink. With or without the puck, they feint, attack, brake in a spray of ice, and drive opponents into barriers enclosing the rink. Always, the primary object is to score a goal by directing the puck into the opponent's basket-like net at one end of the rink, while the purpose of a team's goalie is to prevent that occurrence by catching or deflecting the puck away. The roots of hockey are buried deep in antiquity, but the modern game of ice hockey began in Canada in the 1850s. By the 1890s the game had spread to the U.S. and since 1917 the National Hockey League has been the world's premier professional association with 28 teams vying for a championship trophy -- the Stanley Cup. The premier hockey event in international competition takes place during the Winter Olympic Games which began in 1924 in Chamonix, France. The Olympics featured amateur competition until 1998 when professionals, as well as women, played for the first time in Nagano, Japan. With the increase in the pace of life the up-tempo game of hockey has grown in popularity, and today the vast majority of hockey games are played by kids on frozen ponds or on urban, concrete courts and asphalt streets.

He has been called "Japan's greatest lacquerer". His work, unlike the oils being used by so many of his contemporaries, never need re-touching and never faded. He was a master of emulating oil or ink painting with lacquer and combined groundbreaking techniques with traditional subjects. The present album is an exemplary work of this ‘revolutionary traditionalism’ with a somewhat minimalist approach to the subject of the five festivals, without too much fuss but with a remarkable aesthetic quality and superb craftsmanship of lacquer which has kept its freshness of color and vibrancy to this very day.Auction comparison:A similar album with six leaves, yet of miniature format, was sold at Bonhams, Fine Japanese Art, 11 May 2017, London, lot 179 (sold for 22,500 GBP).

ANGUISSOLA, SOFONISBAum 1535 Cremona - 1625 PalermoTitel: Portrait eines Kindes. Technik: Öl auf Holz. Maße: 37 x 28cm. Rahmen/Sockel: Rahmen. Rückseitig:Auf der Tafel alte Aufschriften.Gutachten:M. Tanzi, Cremona, 23.02.2021, liegt vor.Provenienz:Privatbesitz, Schweiz. Sofonisba Anguissola erlangte schon sehr früh internationalen Ruhm: In Cremona folgte sie den Lehren ihrer Meister Bernardino Campi und Bernardino Gatti und es gelang ihr, Werke zu schaffen, die ans Entzückende grenzten, wie das Familienportrait in der Nivaagaards Malerisamling, das Gemälde mit dem Schachspiel in Posen, und Portraits, die die Psychologie der Portraitierten erforschen und es wagen, über die Oberfläche der Haut hinauszugehen, wie beim Domkapitular von Brescia. Am Hof Philipps II. hingegen verlieren wir uns in einem Strudel von Malern, die dieselben Figuren portraitieren und immer wieder dieselbe Vorlage kopieren: Die königliche Familie wurde dargestellt von Anthonis Mor, Alonso Sánchez Coello, Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, Sofonisba und anderen, die eine beeindruckende Anzahl von Gemälden schufen, die weitgehend identisch waren. Die "Pintora" schafft es offensichtlich, mit Leichtigkeit auf verschiedenen expressiven und qualitativen Ebenen zu spielen.Verglichen mit der unendlichen Folge von Selbstportraits und den Portraits Anguissolas Schwestern ist unsere Figur Teil eines eher kleineren männlichen Repertoires des Künstlerin. Sie behält sich dabei eine weniger eindringliche und etwas unbekümmerte Charakterisierung vor und bezieht sich auf eine fast offizielle Idealisierung, jedoch nicht ohne etwas Raum für Ironie zu lassen. Es handelt sich bei dem vorliegenden Werk also um eine wichtige Ergänzung des Oeuvres der Portraits von Sofonisba Anguissola, die auf den ersten Aufenthalt der Malerin in Sizilien zu datieren ist. Aufgrund der noch relativ geringen Anzahl an Werken dieser Schaffenszeit, ist die Darstellung des jungen Sprosses aus einer lokalen Familie, die durch die zukünftige Forschung noch identifiziert werden kann, eine große Bereicherung dieses Kapitels.Wir danken Marco Tanzi, Cremona, der die Zuschreibung des vorliegenden Gemäldes auf Grundlage einer hochauflösenden Digitalfotografie bestätigt hat.Erläuterungen zum KatalogSofonisba Anguissola Italien 17.Jh. Originale Kind / Kinder Gemälde Porträt ANGUISSOLA, SOFONISBAca. 1535 Cremona - 1625 PalermoTitle: Portrait of a Child. Technique: Oil on wood. Measurement: 37 x 28cm. Frame/Pedestal: Framed. Verso:Old inscriptions on the panel.Certificate:M. Tanzi, Cremona, 23.02.2021, is available.Provenance:Private ownership, Switzerland. Sofonisba Anguissola was an accomplished portrait painter who achieved international fame very early on: in Cremona she followed the teachings of her masters Bernardino Campi and Bernardino Gatti and succeeded in creating works that bordered on the delightful, such as the family portrait in the Nivaagaards Malerisamling, the painting with the chess game in Posen and portraits, portraits that explore the psychology of the sitter and dare to go beyond the surface of the skin, like that of the Canon of Brescia. At the court of Philip II, on the other hand, we get lost in a whirlpool of painters portraying the same figures and copying the same model over and over again: The royal family was depicted by Anthonis Mor, Alonso Sánchez Coello, Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, Sofonisba and others, who created an impressive number of paintings that were largely identical. The "pintora" obviously manages to play with ease on different expressive and qualitative levels.Compared to the endless succession of self-portraits and the portraits of Anguissola's sisters, our figure is part of a rather smaller male repertoire of the artist. She reserves a less forceful and somewhat carefree characterisation, referring to an almost official idealisation, but not without leaving some room for irony. The present work is thus an important addition to the oeuvre of Sofonisba Anguissola's portraits, which can be dated to the painter's first stay in Sicily. Given the still relatively small number of works from this creative period, the portrayal of the young scion from a local family, yet to be identified by future research, is a great enrichment of this chapter.We are greatful to Marco Tanzi, Cremona, for confirming the attribution of the present painting on the basis of a high-resolution digital photograph.Explanations to the Catalogue
