Jesus Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923 - 2005) Titled: "Multiple III" (from Jai Alai Series), 1969 Signed "Soto" and numbered on base. Numbered: (141/300) Medium: Silkscreen on Plexiglas with metal rods Jesus Rafael Soto was born in Ciudad Bolivar 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: 19.75 x 6 x 6 in.

Ed Vebell (American, 1921 - 2018) "Edison Invents Electric Light" Signed lower right. Original Acrylic painting on Hot Press 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 Commemorative Cover for Epic Events in American History series issued in 1985. From the beginning, circumstances decreed that Americans would address themselves not so much to "Natural" Philosophy, as to the immediate and practical potentialities of Science. They were a new people in a new world. New methods of farming were required, now tools, even new measurements. The American Philosophical Society made this clear in its 1769 Charter: it was to address itself to agriculture, botany, navigation, and similar subjects. Benjamin Franklin -- who had seized the lightning from the skies and toppled tyrants from their thrones -- was one of the Society's first presidents, and a model to its members. Thomas Alva Edison was in many ways Franklin's legitimate successor. Like Franklin, he could not refrain from improving everything he set eyes on. Not a theoretical scientist, he was the most successful of all scientists interested in the well being and convenience, the wealth and health of the ordinary man. Everything he touched, he improved: the telegraph, the telephone, the phonograph, photography, motion pictures, and -- perhaps most important of all -- electric lighting, one of the greatest boons to mankind. When he was 80, Congress awarded Edison a Gold Medal for "inventions that revolutionized civilization." More literally than anyone else of our time, Edison merits the motto: Fiat Lux, let there be light. Image Size: 19.75 x 21 in. Overall Size: 26.5 x 26.75 in. Unframed. (B05695)

Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Carolling in Cathedral at Christmas" Signed lower right. 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. 20c NiccolinCowper Madonna, by Raphael stamp issued October 28, 1983. The magical season of Christmas is a time of merriment; but it is also a time for sincere reverence. On Christmas morning, churches all over the world hold special, joyous services to celebrate, with rich ceremony, the humble birth of the Savior of the World . . . Jesus Christ. Merriment and reverence are united by a special bond during this sacred time of the year. The sincere, yet joyful worship of Jesus Christ as the Babe of Bethlehem . . . born in humility . . . was especially stressed by St. Francis of Assisi. This Holy Saint is associated with Christmas because of his great love of the simple religious songs which were the forerunners of our modern Christmas carols. He once advised a devout Brother to mix light-hearted singing with his preaching -- "for what are the servants of God if not His minstrels, who ought to stir and incite the hearts of men to spiritual joy?" When St. Francis celebrated Christmas in Greccio in 1223 it was humble indeed . . . especially when compared with the Christmases of today, which involve diverse customs developed through two thousand years. But all Christmas customs, whether rooted in pagan festivals, folklore, or church rituals, express that "spiritual joy" of which St. Francis spoke . . . a resplendent joy to the world which we glory in manifesting, both in song and praise, during the magical season of Christmas.

Mel Crawford (Canadian, B. 1925) "Bringing Home the Tree" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. Imagine a lone cowboy riding the open range a hundred years ago. He's been chasing stray doggies for two weeks. He's tired, cold, and just a little bit lonely. But tonight it's Christmas Eve, so he hurries into town to pick up some gifts the shopkeeper has been holding for him. Then one last stop along the trail to cut down the little spruce tree he's been keeping his eye on for months. He heads home with his pack horse loaded with Christmas spirit. A light snow is falling and he can see through the flakes a familiar puff of smoke curling up from his cabin. Inside, his family is cooking Christmas dinner and eagerly watching out the window for his return. Christmas in the Old West was very different from Christmas today, and yet it some ways it was very much the same. Image Size: 14 x 12 in. Overall Size: 17.25 x 15 in. Unframed. (B07720)

Shannon Stirnweis (American, B. 1931) "Statue of Liberty" Signed center left. Original Oil painting on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. The Lady, the Goddess, Miss Liberty -- she has been called many names, but she has always been the symbol of freedom. Our grand Lady of the Harbor evokes the hopes and dreams of all those who gaze upon her brilliant face and flock to her open shores. The Statue was a gift from France to the people of the United States -- whose striving for liberty and social justice helped inspire the French in their own search for liberty. To help bring the vision of the statue to reality, the French government enlisted the help of a young sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. Initially given the name Liberty Enlightening the World, Bartholdi envisioned the statue to embody the everlasting spirit of Liberty, which would serve as an inspiration for all nations, for all peoples, for all times. After experimenting with several models, Bartholdi revealed the statue in her final form: a serene but forceful woman in classical garb, with an upheld torch of freedom, a crown of radiant light, with chains of bondage broken at her feet, and a sacred tablet inscribed with the date of the Declaration of Independence. Since her dedication in 1886, the Statue of Liberty has stood proudly in New York Harbor, beckoning the thousands of immigrants from faraway lands to her free and prospering shores. The story of over one hundred million Americans literally cannot be told apart from the story of the Statue of Liberty. Image Size: 13.25 x 16 in. Overall Size: 18.25 x 22 in. Unframed. (B10324)

Tom McNeely (Canadian, B. 1935) "Columbus' Ship Approaching Land" Signed lower right. Original Watercolor painting on Paper. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation. This painting is the original which was published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 29c Columbus Voyage; Approaching Land issued April 24, 1992. By the 5th century B.C., Greek astronomers and mathematicians realized the earth was spherical in shape. Several centuries later, a mathematician named Eratosthenes calculated a surprisingly accurate circumference of the earth, but his discoveries were overshadowed by Ptolemy, an Egyptian mathematician of the 2nd century B.C. whose observations of astronomy and geography guided scientific thought until the 16th century. Experienced mariners such as Columbus followed Ptolemy's dictums, but his ancient miscalculations of the earth's circumference made land masses appear much closer by sea than they actually were. Despite some popular legends, few sailors of Columbus's day believed the world was flat. When mutinous rumblings echoed below the decks of his ships, Columbus knew it was not fear of falling off the edge of the world that roused his crews' ire -- it was fear of the wind. The caravels, built to sail into the wind, had never before carried sailors so far from home. Could these sturdy ships carry them safely back to Spain against strong easterly winds? With rousing cries of "Adelante!", Columbus allayed their fears and assured them that land would soon be sighted. Events proved him right, for the Journal of the First Voyage dated October 12 recorded: "At two hours after midnight appeared the land, at a distance of two leagues." Convinced they had reached the rich Indies, Columbus and his men waited to see what manner of land sunrise brought to light. Image Size: 23.25 x 21.25 in. Overall Size: 24 x 21.25 in. Unframed.
