Black Sabbath,
Ozzy Osbourne Concert Posters Up For Auction.
Backstage Auctions has announced the date for their upcoming Rock Art Poster
Auction that will feature over 3,000 original concert posters, which date back
from the 1960s through current day. Additionally, the auction will feature
complete numbered and first printing series of the "Family Dog" and "Bill Graham" posters,
handbills and card series. The auction will begin on Sunday, August 14 and
will run for two weeks and end on Sunday, August 28. The full auction catalog
will be available online to view beginning Sunday, August 7 at www.backstageauctions.com.
When given the opportunity to review the auction catalog, renowned rock historian
Paul Grushkin (author of "The Art of Rock: Posters from Presley to Punk", "Art
of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion" (co-author with Dennis King) and "The
Treasures of The Hard Rock CafeL" (co-author with Joel Selvin) commented that "Backstage
Auctions has done the next to impossible task of bringing together the most
coveted rock poster sets along with many of the holy grails most representative
of the psychedelic era." He goes on to remind us that "The great psychedelic
posters lit up our homes, our workspaces, and our dorm rooms for decades. Now
theyfre among the most collectible posters in history." Many of the items being
offered are rarely available to collectors or fans. According to Grushkin, "The
few times complete Bill Graham and Family Dog poster sets have ever been available,
they were on and off the market in a heartbeat."
In addition to the collections being auctioned, there are hundreds of individual
poster lots of musical legends like AEROSMITH, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS, BB KING,
THE BEACH BOYS, THE BEATLES, EAGLES, ELVIS PRESLEY, GRATEFUL DEAD, JEFF BECK,
JIMI HENDRIX, OZZY OSBOURNE, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, RAY CHARLES, PINK FLOYD, STEVIE
RAY VAUGHN, THE WHITE STRIPES and THE YARDBIRDS, YES and ZZ TOP \ just to name
a few. According to Backstage Auctions co-founder Jacques van Gool, "For the
first time, this is truly an auction for every fan or collector of classic
rock memorabilia. There is literally something for everyone who ever loved
rock and roll."
Backstage Auctions is a leading online auction company specializing in classic
rock memorabilia. Founded on the principles of combining their clients' career
achievements and popularity with the demand and interest of collectors and
fans who desire truly authentic and unique collectibles, Backstage Auctions
is the place where rock legends live on.

John Ford, 81,
Major Figure in World of Coin Collecting, Dies.
John Ford, a coin dealer and collector known for catalogs that brought clarity
to numismatics and whose collections, including the earliest American coins
and prized Confederate pennies, have dazzled recent auctiongoers, died July
7 at a nursing home in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 81.
Susan Dobbins, his daughter, confirmed the death.
The scale and completeness of Mr. Ford's collecting have emerged as 11 of as
many as 20 auctions have been conducted to sell off his esoteric collections,
which included the notes of Massachusetts issued in 1690, the oldest coins
issued by the Continental Congress, and African chiefs' medals.
Michael Hodder, a numismatic consultant, said bidders already had spent $35
million on the Ford collections, and the final total may rival the three auctions
of the collection of Louis Eliasburg, who assembled examples of every known
American coin. These exceeded $55 million.
Francis Campbell, the librarian of the American Numismatic Society, said the
sales have expanded appreciation of Mr. Ford.
"It's going to settle in that he was more important than we thought he was," he
said.
Mr. Ford's impact on the field has been better-known in the small circle of
its professionals, particularly his catalogs for New Netherlands Coin Co.,
which he partly owned. His meticulous descriptions of grades, colors and other
qualities were unprecedented, wrote Harvey Stack, owner of Stack's, which is
auctioning Ford's collections.
The catalogs not only enabled people to bid with more confidence, but also
represented some of the highest numismatic scholarship in the United States,
Hodder said. In an introduction to a catalog, Q. David Bowers, a well-known
numismatist, called Mr. Ford one of the "most influential figures in American
numismatics."
He was most prominent in the 1950s and '60s, when coin collecting, once known
as "the hobby of kings," greatly broadened its appeal. It trails only stamp
collecting in participants, but leads in money spent.
Mr. Ford's career had controversy. He reversed the industry's practice of overrating
coins up for auction. He designated coins "very fine" that others might rate "extremely
fine." It packed the room, he said.
Mr. Ford was involved in one of the longest-running, vitriolic disputes in
the history of American numismatics. Some prominent experts charged that he
was part of a scheme to sell fake gold and silver bars, falsely claiming they
came from the American West.
Mr. Ford, backed by other authorities, categorically denied fraud. However,
he could not help philosophizing.
"Ever since the first coin was sold to anybody, somebody has lied about it," he
told the magazine of Heritage Galleries and Auctioneers.
John Jay Ford Jr. was born March 5, 1924, in Hollywood, Calif., where his father
liked to socialize with movie people. A scientist and inventor, the elder Ford
lost all his money in business failures and retreated to Queens, N.Y. He borrowed
haircut money from his teenage son.
Mr. Ford, already a stamp collector, bought his first old currency from a shop
in Brooklyn, N.Y. He paid 15 cents for a Confederate bill that fetched $200
years later.
He quit his paper route and got a job as a delivery boy for Stack's. By the
time he was drafted into the Army, he had a thriving business.
He was regarded as a wonder, having virtually memorized "United States Pattern,
Trial and Experimental Pieces" by Edgar Adams and William Woodin, then a standard
numismatic resource. Hodder likened this to memorizing all of a day's baseball
box scores, only more complicated.
After serving as an Army cryptographer, Mr. Ford did other kinds of work before
finding his way back to coin shops. He soon joined Charles Wormser at New Netherlands,
becoming a partner in two years.
Mr. Ford discovered and cultivated Walter Breen, who went on to write what
became an industry bible. He teamed up with Mr. Ford to write New Netherlands'
famous catalogs.
Wayte Raymond, one of America's legendary numismatists, hired Mr. Ford to help
him with in-depth research at the National Archives. Mr. Ford also worked closely
with F.C.C. Boyd, long a commanding personality in the coin field. Mr. Ford
handled both men's estates, giving him a first chance at great treasures.

Family's fitting tribute to fine Armagh artist
Armagh artist Hampton Ewart, who passed away earlier this year, was a popular
person. He started painting in the 1980s after discovering a latent talent
which he sought to develop through landscape and portrait work in watercolour.
However, it was when he moved into pen and ink work that his true artistic
talent came to the fore.
With it came a thirst to draw an Armagh of yesteryear as well as contemporary
scenes of the beautiful city and the surrounding areas of the orchard of Ireland.
In the 1990's Hampton had his own popular column in the Ulster Gazette, Ewart's
Armagh, which also gave him another enjoyable outlet for his talents.
In his memory Hampton's family has now set up a website, www.armaghprints.com
which is not only dedicated to his pen and ink work of Armagh City but also
Tynan, Keady, Markethill and other areas throughout the county.
Son Glenn tells me: "We miss dad greatly but we had discussed with him the
idea of launching a website of his work before he died and he was very excited
about it.
"It has been a labour of love for my mother and other family members and it is
our intention to run it as a joint family project to keep his spirit alive.
"There are over 60 prints on the site but dad drew hundreds of others so we would
urge people who visit to ask if they don't see their favourite.
"Our hope is it will be a lasting and fitting tribute to him."
Sotheby's sale
A presentation copy of James Joyce's Ulysses and the Yeats collection realised
fine prices at Sotheby's London sale of English Literature, History, Children's
Books and Illustrations.
Simon Warren, of the top sales house, told me: "The First Edition presentation
copy of Ulysses, which was inscribed by Joyce to his friend the artist Arthur
Power, fetched ’36,000 against a high estimate of ’25,000.
"The Sydney Cockerell album of autograph letters by Yeats, including the complete
autograph working manuscript of his essay "The Tragic Theatre", made ’72,000
against the lower estimate of ’60,000."
Sotheby's had an exceptional Irish sale in May, achieving a total of over ’5m
and obtaining ’792,000 for a work by Roderic O'Conor and a world record price
of ’114,000 for FE McWilliam's 'Eve'.
At that sale, 54% of the lots on offer made over their high estimates.
Around the sales
With the holiday season in full swing, Northern Ireland auction houses are
