George Sottung (American, 1927 - 1999) "Tourism Site in Pohnpei - Sokehs Rock" Signed lower right. Original Oil 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 Federated States of Micronesia First Day Cover for the 29c Tourism Sites of Pohnpei stamp issued October 5, 1993. Known as the "Diamond Head of Micronesia," Sokehs Rock rises 662 feet over Pohnpei's harbor. A natural beacon for seagoing vessels, this impressive promontory beckons visitors to scale its basalt face. Those who reach the top are rewarded with a magnificent vista of Sokehs Island and the rest of Pohnpei. In 1977, an adventurous soul attempted to fly his hang-glider from the top of Sokehs Rock, destined for either Takatik Island or a nearby causeway. Just as he became airborne, the winds abruptly changed course, slamming the unsuspecting pilot and his craft against the face of the rock. Fortunately the flyer recovered from this mishap and today his experience serves as a caution to thrill-seekers contemplating leaps of their own. Less daring tourists opt for a relaxing boat ride that offers several dramatic views of the majestic rock. In addition to its prominence as a point of interest, Sokehs Rock also played a role in Pohnpei's history. In 1910, dissidents fled to the top of the rock seeking refuge from German government troops during the Sokehs Rebellion, Pohnpei's last battle against foreign rule. Image Size: 19.25 x 25 in. Overall Size: 22 x 30 in. Unframed. (B14533)

Lot 529
Artist: Banksy (English, b. c1973-75 | Active 1990 - Present). Title: "Flying Copper (Angel Cop) [announcement]". Medium: Original color offset lithograph. Date: Printed 2007. Dimensions: Overall size: 6 x 4 in. (152 x 102 mm).Lot Note(s): Edition unknown, presumed small. Printed on white stiff paper. Fine, quality printing. Very good to fine condition; very minor edge toning, mainly visible verso, else fine. Comment(s): This very scarce announcement features an image of one of Banksy's large-scale Flying Copper pieces, originally exhibited at his Turf War show in East London in 2003 (but misdescribed on the card as dated 2005). It was released prior to a show held at The Gallery at the Hospital Club in Covent Garden, London, from August 10 to September 1, 2007, organized by Pollock Fine Art. That show appears to have been the first one specifically dedicated to pairing artworks by Andy Warhol and Banksy. The copyright © for this work may or may not be owned by Banksy, who once opined that “copyright is for losers.”. [30331-1-300]
