Whatever Happened to What’s-His-Name???

Degas rare canceled incomplete plate “women in laundry”

Whatever happened to what-s-his-name??? Well, now, that’s always been one of those questions best left unanswered. In the meantime, while you’re waiting, let’s tackle the biggest problem in marketing, which can be summed up as “The JUNO Principle:

“What’s the sense trying to scare people if they can’t even see or hear you?”

See, that is the problem. You can have the best item in the world, the most attractive advertising and promotion, but if nobody sees you or your ads or your product, it’s as if you were a tree falling in the forest, and you can quote me on that. Continue reading →

Art is Money

HUGE Hand-Painted Toulouse-Lautrec Apres, oil on canvas, $12,500.00

Art is money. It’s exactly like money and, if you handle it commercially without sentimentality, it trades fast & easy.

Stocks, Bonds, Real Estate, Commodities and now, Crypto-Currencies. That’s the standard by which we measure wealth and/or prosperity, but it’s wrong.

I just listed 422 of my own art prints on eBay, and have sold $400.00 worth on just the first day of listing them. Continue reading →

RARE New York School WPA Artists

July 17, 2021Uncategorizedart, art marketing, ejgold, gorby, gorebagg, jal, new york school, painting, prints, reincarnationgorebagg

I have a very large — some would say “extensive” — collection of New York School art, mostly because I was a member of that august group of collectively arty maniacs, and I say that not only because of the massive psychotherapeutic bills they ran up, but because they were mostly free of the slavish temperament of the average New Yorker.

You’ll find a whole lot more art and artists in New York City than you’ll find in the whole rest of the country, with the possible exception of Chicago, San Francisco and of course, Las Vegas. Continue reading →

A Jazzy Show Catalogue of Renaissance & Modern Art

JOAN MIRO — Original Mourlot Hand-Pulled Stone Lithograph printed on wove paper, it is the back cover of ” XXe Siecle #4″, published in 1954; edition size about 5,000, probably a few hundred circulating around nowadays, or far less, as a result of many of them falling into a permanent collection of a library, university or museum. A very rare original print with lots of early primitivism and strong paint strokes. The double “X” signifies the “twentieth century” aspect of the famous high-grade French art “magazine” of the Golden Age of Art. Condition is Extra-Fine.

Bidding Range: $950 – $1500

SIDE-NOTES: This is hard to find, and expensive to buy, with no hope of “fast turnover”. It may take years to sell a print in a gallery. There are some XXe Siecle originals on eBay, and a lot of things that people THINK are XXe Siecle that are also there. Some prints are as low as $30 bucks or so, when the seller is unaware of the value of the print, and when the artist is not as well-collected, highly valued or among the “Big Name Artists” like Rembrandt, Renoir, Chagall, Miro, Picasso, and Matisse. It’s not a good idea to seek out bargains in the art market. You pay for what you get, and you get what you pay for. Continue reading →

EJ Gold New Graphics — Graphite Miniature Landscapes

LITHOGRAPH -- "Farm at Land's End, Pennsylvania", Plate Signed & Dated — LITHOGRAPH — “Farm at Land’s End, Pennsylvania”, Signed & Dated in the Plate

Farm at Land’s End, Pennsylvania is an exercise in light and dark, as well as the translation of “still-life” techniques into Plein-Aire style, with the emphasis on shape, form, mass and composition. Patchy sunlight, silhouetted tree-line, rolling soil and rounded silo with ladders and side-detail, highlighted thatched roofing on the house, soft late-afternoon back-lighting and shadows along the fence-line and banked ditch along the roadside make this a very ambitious drawing project.

GRAPHITE LITHOGRAPHIC STYLE MINIATURE LANDSCAPES — $25 each. Yes, that is the wholesale price, no discount for quantity, because there’s a lot of cost behind each print, and we don’t control the printing costs, the printers do. The originals were created in graphite on Heavyweight 300 gram Arches Rives BFK etching paper, and were massaged into prints by Marvette, who matched the prints with the originals. In a frame, you can’t tell the difference between the print and the original. My original graphite works are no longer for sale, prints only. Continue reading →

SIXTIES ROCKER #1

SIXTIES ROCKERS — Signed in the Plate Edition — $25 each.

Printed on the highest quality PHOTO paper available, this reproduces EXACTLY the size, weight & feel of the original. Side by side, in a frame with a plexiglass protector, even a print expert can’t tell the difference. THIS IS NOT A COLLECTIBLE ITEM, it is an art item, a mini-graphic poster, but made to ARCHIVAL specs and the highest artistic level of aesthetic.

SIXTIES ROCKERS — Pencil Signed & Numbered Edition of 50 — $125 each.

The original charcoal pastels were produced on fawn pastel suede paper, usually during a backstage break or a recording studio gig. I can’t remember the names of most of these rock musicians, but maybe a face will ring a bell. I can’t say that they’re accurate, they weren’t intended to be portraits of anyone in particular, just types for drawing studies. My original charcoal pastels are no longer for sale.

To Rembrandt or Not To Rembrandt — The Money Issues

May 12, 2012Uncategorizedart, collectables, collectibles, market, moey, prints, rare, rembrandtgorebagg

These are original 17th century lifetime impressions produced by Rembrandt van Rijn in Holland, about 1640-ish. They come from very powerful collections with great and unusually clear provenance, meaning they can be traced back to previous owners quite far in the past. Pieces like this generally sell for anywhere from $24,000 to $150,000 for the very rare “St. Jerome in a Dark Chamber”, which came from the collection of Theodore Donson, the world’s most famous Rembrandt collector today. So how come if you brought these into a gallery or a dealer, the best they could offer would be a hundred bucks each, and that’s FRAMED!!! If you don’t get what the game is, tune in Saturday morning at 6;30 a.m. for a serious tutorial on selling stuff into a bad economy. There’s an ART to it, not just dumb luck or running full-tilt against a brick wall. See you on the ICW. If you don’t know how to join us there, ASK!!!

Peace,
