Auction NewsSotheby's To Auction Period Russian Jewellery on Nov 17. Auction house SOTHEBY'S is delighted to be able to offer for sale one of the most historically important jewels to have come onto the market in recent years. The diamond necklace, from the collection of the Russian Imperial family, is estimated to fetch Sfr. 1,500,000-2,500,000 (£665,000-1,108,000/$1,176,000-1,960,600) and is set to be the star of Sotheby's Magnificent Jewels sale in Geneva on Thursday, November 17, 2005. The stunning diamond necklace with a detachable diamond bow clasp, is a rare survivor of the 18th century, when jewels were usually broken up to produce new jewellery in the latest styles. Its survival, in its original state, is almost unheard of outside royal or museum collections. Daniela Mascetti, Head of Sotheby's Jewellery department in London stated that they are delighted to have this unique opportunity to present - not only such an impressive jewel in its own right - but one that encapsulates the luxury and grandeur of the Russian royal court. Its history, survival, beauty and quality, make this a truly exceptional piece. In 1719 Peter I (1682-1725), known as 'Peter the Great' created The Russian State Diamond Fund to house a collection of jewels that would belong to the Russian state for the permanent glory of the Russian Empire. Peter demanded that each Empress or Emperor bequeath a certain number of pieces acquired during their reign to the state. During the reign of Catherine II 'the Great' (1762-1796), extravagance reached standards experienced neither before, nor since. She employed the skills of the best French and Swiss jewellers, such as Posier and Duval and consequently added the largest number of jewels to the Imperial Collection. The collection was housed in the 'Diamond Room' in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. Peter decreed that no piece could be sold, given away or changed. A keeper was appointed and no jewels were ever taken out of the room without a written sealed order and only in the presence of a trustee especially appointed by His Imperial Majesty. The fear of German invasion at the outbreak of the First World War instigated a decision to move the collection to Moscow. This was done under the supervision of Mr. Bentichev of 'H.I.M. Wardrobe Service'. The removal of the strong boxes was carried out in such haste that no inventory was taken on the collection's departure from St. Petersburg. When the jewels arrived in Moscow they were confiscated and stored away until after the war. A catalogue entitled: Russia's Treasure of Diamonds and Precious Stones was published in 1925, in Russian, English, French and German, under the supervision of Professor A.E. Fersman. This suggested that the Soviets wished to sell the collection, however the decision was later retracted, as was the catalogue. The first public exhibition of the jewels took place in Moscow in the same year. Immediately after the publication of the catalogue, a number of the jewels were sold to a syndicate of British and American buyers whose identity is unknown, the state retaining the more valuable items of the collection as part of Russia's national heritage. The necklace consists of a beautiful row of 27 large cushion-shaped diamonds within a border of stylized foliate motifs, close set with smaller similarly cut stones, embellished with a ribbon bow clasp, which can be worn separately. This historical jewel is sure to appeal to collectors of beautiful jewels, as well as those passionate about fashion and accessories. Sotheby's jewellery auctions take place in New York, London, Hong Kong, Geneva, St. Moritz, Paris, Milan and Amsterdam. Over the years, Sotheby's has been entrusted to offer some of the most important jewellery collections in the world including those of the Duchess of Windsor, the Countess du Boisrouvray, Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis and Mrs. Harry Winston. New York based Sotheby's Diamonds is a joint venture with the Steinmetz Diamond Group, offering the rarest and most desirable diamonds in the world and exquisite bespoke diamond jewellery. Sotheby's Diamonds is a combination of Steinmetz's expertise in diamond cutting and polishing and Sotheby's connoisseurship and international client base. --------------------------------------------------------------- Auction Delayed Because of Theft. Sale of cookie jar, ceramic collection now scheduled to take place in late January. An auction of one of the largest collections of cookie jars and other ceramic collectibles in the country, scheduled for next month at the Allentown Fairgrounds, has been postponed after auctioneers discovered that a small part of it is missing. Randy Inman Auctions of Waterville, Maine, posted a news release on the Internet saying the auction of the 10,000-item Wendy Ramsay Johnston collection has been put off until late January. Rick Both, 45, Inman's partner in an Allentown auction gallery, confirmed that the sale has been postponed. Both, a Bucks County auction promoter, filed a report Wednesday with Allentown police alleging that part of the valuable collection had been stolen from the Inman gallery at 727 Union Blvd. The eight boxes of missing collectibles, Both said, were worth an estimated $50,000 at auction. The theft is believed to have occurred during an auction at the gallery, the former American Stamp & Stationery Co. Johnston, 60, a Brooklyn, N.Y., collector of national renown, spent three decades building the massive collection that features 30 prototype cookie jars, including many Disney and Looney Tunes characters, and 2,500 sets of salt and pepper shakers. Among the rarest pieces are a Herman & Catnip cookie jar from the 1940s, one of only several ever made of the Paramount animated cartoon characters, and an Alice in Wonderland set with Alice as a cookie jar and the Mad Hatter as a teapot. High-end cookie jars typically bring $200 to $400 at auction, but the more desirable ones can go for thousands of dollars. Inman auctioneers discovered some items were missing during an inventory in preparation for the auction, which was to have taken place Nov. 18-20 at the Agri-Plex in Agricultural Hall. The collection previously had been cataloged, meaning the owners know what pieces are missing. Both, who partnered with Inman about three years ago, declined to identify the missing pieces. Randy Inman Auctions issued the news release Tuesday, the day before Both reported the missing items to the Allentown police. In explaining the postponement, Inman cited ''time constraints'' on his staff following a successful Sept. 23-25 auction at the Agri-Plex in Allentown. Inman's staff is still finalizing the sale of 1,100 slots, pinball machines and other coin-operated devices that brought $1.7 million at auction, the Inman release said. The collection was owned by Jon Johnston, Wendy's husband. The Johnstons operate antique shops in New York and the Poconos. ''We could have gone forward with the November sale,'' Inman wrote, ''but Mrs. Johnston's collection deserves a full commitment to cataloging and publicity.'' ---------------------------------------------------------------- Christie's Going, Going to China to Hold Auctions. Determined to be the first Western auction house to capitalize firsthand on China's booming art market, Christie's has signed an agreement to conduct auctions in Beijing, company officials said. And to meet Chinese government restrictions on foreign businesses holding auctions on their own, it has teamed up with a newly formed Beijing auction house called Forever. Under the agreement, settled this week, Christie's will license its name, provide experts and oversee the entire auction process, from the acquisition of works for sale to the printing and design of the catalog. Its first sale - 450 examples of modern and contemporary Chinese art - is scheduled for Nov. 3 at the Great Wall Sheraton Hotel in Beijing and is expected to bring $10 million. "It's important for us to put down stakes and let people know we've arrived," said Edward Dolman, Christie's chief executive. "This is a huge market and we're building on the tremendous sales in Hong Kong." In May and June, Mr. Dolman said, Christie's sales in Hong Kong totaled nearly $130 million and attracted 4,500 people a day. They came to view everything from classic Chinese ceramics and jade jewelry to modern and contemporary painting. The number of moneyed collectors in China is growing as fortunes are being made in construction, technology, manufacturing, real estate and other industries. According to figures published by China's 10 leading auction houses, sales have risen from less than $100 million in 2000 to about $1 billion in 2005. China is not a new territory for either Sotheby's or Christie's. Both auction houses opened offices in Shanghai in 1994 to identify property to sell and to contact prospective buyers. Two years later, Christie's opened an office in Beijing. Sotheby's has had a representative there for the past year. As for Hong Kong, Sotheby's has been holding sales in the former British colony since 1973, and Christie's since 1986. Year by year, the number of Asians buying at auction is increasing. Executives at Sotheby's report that in 2004 its Asian clients spent more than $275 million at its salesrooms around the world, up from just over $100 million in 2003. Asian artworks are also becoming more popular and expensive. In July, Christie's set a record for an Asian artwork at auction when a London dealer bought a 14th-century blue-and-white jar for $27.7 million. Now Christie's and Sotheby's are focusing on how best to capitalize on the Chinese market. But while Christie's has entered an agreement with a Chinese partner in Beijing, Sotheby's is taking a more cautious approach. "We're putting out feelers and will be watching Christie's closely to see what we can learn," said Henry Howard-Sneyd, managing director of Sotheby's in Asia and Australia. "But since holding auctions in China has to be done through intermediaries, we will see how things develop." Mr. Howard-Sneyd, who is based in Hong Kong, added that the company's staffing throughout Asia was increasing by 15 percent to 20 percent. "The Chinese love fine wines, jewelry, Western furniture, 19th-century paintings as well as contemporary Chinese art," he said. Chinese contemporary art is one of the fastest-growing segments of this market, attracting buyers from around the world. Sotheby's is planning to hold its first sale of contemporary Chinese art in March, during Asia Week in New York. Xiaoming Zhang, the expert in charge of the sale, comes to Sotheby's from the Guggenheim Museum, where she helped organize its giant show "China: 5,000 Years" in 1998. She was later part of a Guggenheim team exploring possible satellite programs around the world. Ms. Zhang is now traveling through China looking for property to sell. "It's not easy," she said in a telephone interview. "The demand is far greater than the supply." Chinese contemporary artists generally fall into two categories: in the first group are those whose style is based on traditional Chinese images and forms, like ink-wash landscapes, harking back to the 17th and 18th centuries. One example is Wu Guanzhong, who produced "White Poplar Woods," a modern twist on a densely painted forest that is expected to sell for $770,000 to $900,000 at Forever/Christie's next month. Another is the artist Lin Fengmian, who studied in France and has painted scenes like "Opera Figures," a scroll estimated to fetch $154,800 to $232,300 next month in Beijing. The second category consists of an important group of Chinese artists whose work is based in Pop and conceptual art and who have a wide international following. Sotheby's plans to sell their work in New York in March. This group includes the conceptual artist Huang Yongping, the subject of a retrospective at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis on view through Jan. 15. The group also includes Zhang Huan, a Chinese-born artist who lives in New York, where he has shown at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center, Deitch Projects in SoHo and elsewhere. Perhaps the most celebrated of them all is Cai Guo-Qiang, known to New Yorkers for beaming a rainbow over the East River three years ago for the opening of the Museum of Modern Art's temporary exhibition space in Queens, as well as for "Light Cycle," a pyrotechnic display that lighted up the sky above Central Park for its 150th anniversary. Over the summer Mr. Cai was also the curator of the Venice Biennale's first official Chinese pavilion, sponsored in large part by the Chinese government. The Positive ClubThe place where you are. The place where life happens is the place where you are. The place
where you build success and achievement is the place where you
are. If you spend your time wishing you were someplace else, then you lose the opportunity to get there. Instead, see the power and the possibilities of the place where you are, and tap into the real value of what you now have. If you fill the place where you are with worry, frustration, anxiety or anger, you put needless limitations on what you can do. Instead, fill this moment, this set of circumstances with joy, love, gratitude and enthusiasm for the positive possibilities. Give the best that you can to the place where you are. For your world is determined not by what you hope to do on some distant someday, but by how you live right here and now. This is the place where you are. Live it for all that it is. -- Ralph Marston
