Rembrandt CSI

This print is hard to find and easy to sell to a smart collector.

Well, I did want to post another round of funny and interesting ESCAPE! videos, but this rather important thing came up, about original 17th century Rembrandt etchings.

Look, Rembrandt etchings are traded like stamps, coins, sports cards and memorabilia — it’s all about Scarcity, Desirability and Condition, the “Big 3” of collectible trading.

I have a number of interested possible buyers for the few Rembrandts I have posted in my tiny collection in my virtual gallery, but it’s tricky — I can’t and won’t sell to an amateur. I’ve had that flavor of sale, and eschew it rabidly.

I don’t actually OWN a bunch of Rembrandt etchings — I don’t have to, because I sell them first, and THEN I FIND and buy them and ship them, see? That way, there’s no money up front, no risk of loss of the originals, and no storage issues or insurance problems, and I can have hundreds of Rembrandts up for sale without owning a single one of them.

The trick is, you have to know that you can get hold of what you sell, and you know who has it and at what price. Continue reading →

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 →

Nevada City Tours

Old Fire Station, Broad Street, Nevada City, photo by E.J. Gold.

If you click onto nevadacitytours.com, you’ll note that the first listing takes you to zazzle, where you’ll initially see postcards, views of Nevada City and environs, that I took when I was regaining my walking skills after the second surgery in 2002.

The gallery is well within view here — it’s just to the right of the middle of the photo, inside the historic and very haunted New York Hotel. We feature very high-end ORIGINAL art by Chagall, Miro, Picasso, Degas, Manet, Gauguin, Matisse, Rembrandt, van Ostade and many more.

Our first offering will be a very rare and very personal Jasper Johns 0-9 lithograph in colors, pencil-signed and numbered, but the most important aspect of this offering is that it came from Sotheby’s and carries with it all the documentation from Sotheby’s auction house in New York City.

You’ll see at my gallery — and have a chance to buy or help sell — museum-grade art, which could be purchased by an art patron in your hometown, on the public’s behalf, then bequeathed to your local art museum. There may be tax benefits to the estate by so doing, but the social and cultural benefits far outweigh personal wealth. This can be a legacy that you can leave for future generations, or help facilitate if you can’t buy.

Here’s an example:

This is a very unusual form of Jasper Johns’ zero through nine series; it’s pencil-signed and numbered by the artist. It’s small, personal, and very, very limited in the edition size. JASPER JOHNS — Zero Through Nine (0-9) — color lithograph — Ca. 1978 — Edition 60 — Signed – Numbered – Dated – C 160×124 – S4 – G 781 – Full Margin — Sotheby New York – 05/13/87 – # 833.
