Pictures, people!

I've posted shots from 8 kabillion Comic Art Expos and NYCCs over the years. You guys are really letting me down here.

Fantastic season. As usual.

Apologies if this is (likely) a repost, but I saw this on the wall at jury duty in NYC. The link has a higher res version-

Quite a few pulps in there. 1935

The two greatest flips of all time are coming to court...

On May 2, 2013, Bouvier, not Rybolovlev, bought the “Mundi” through Sotheby’s by putting up a painting and cash valued at $83 million. A day later, he sold it to Rybolovlev for $127.5 million, according to court papers.

Quote

In 2017, four years after Rybolovlev purchased da Vinci’s “Salvator Mundi” for $127.5 million in a transaction he has described as duplicitous, he resold it at Christie’s for $450 million.

I have opinions, but I'd rather hear yours.

Got my Parker Girls Limited HC today!

Hope it's OK to post this here... The missus can't attend with me this year. So I have an extra Thursday ticket. Anyone want to buy it at a discount for $40? PM me for details. You'll need a ShowClix login to transfer it to.

 Is it a reproduction of his original pencils? 

I'd guess lightboxed with no pencils. Has anyone ever seen uninked Xeroxes? Copies of the pencils may never have been made.

Discussion and reproduction here-

It's all fun and games until the Work Study freshman knocks over a bubble tea on top of that thing.

Seriously, makes me a little sad. All of that art locked away from the collectors who would really love it -- until it fades into obscurity. Donate a key issue or cover or something -- not the full shebang.

Has anyone received some kind of official communication from CL about a data breach, and that it accessed personal information including credit cards? If there was a data breach, I would have expected something official, but haven't received anything. 

Or is that speculation due to a hack that resulted in the redirect of the main page?

I don't have a lot of faith that it was just a cosmetic hack and the back-end database wasn't compromised. So I'm getting ahead of this... I replaced both cards CLINK had and changed my password on any other sites that had the same password. (I should've known better not to do this in the first place, but I setup these accounts a long time ago when the internet was a safer place.) The rest of you should use unique, random passwords for every site. Setup MFA wherever you can.

I'm also going to take advantage of virtual credit card numbers going forward. Check with your credit card company to see if they offer this feature.

On the other hand, if you're asking about something likely to carry high interest . . . you may well have put the competition on alert, lol!

Yeah, I'd recommend the OP develop a network of other trusted collectors who he can bounce things off of. An original art "cabal", if you will...

Opinions appreciated.

Would the Whitney stamp a piece of original art on the back? Seriously not likely.

When was this supposed exhibit? I can't find it on Google. And I don't see anything by him listed on the Whitney site. So this statement feels a little fishy-

Quote

Kane's work is housed in collections in New York City's Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and St. John's University

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Kane

I do see two pieces he donated to the MOMA, but if the dates are 1967 as stated, someone else drew them!

https://www.moma.org/artists/30424

(Anybody know anybody at the MOMA? They should change this attribution in their catalog.)

If this Whitney exhibit was supposedly before 2015, the Whitney wasn't even at that address-

https://whitney.org/about/history

Quote

Following a move in 1954 to an expanded site on West 54th Street, the Whitney opened the Marcel Breuer-designed building on Madison Avenue at 75th Street in 1963. The iconic building housed the Museum from 1966 through October 20, 2014. The Whitney’s current building at 99 Gansevoort Street opened on May 1, 2015.

I'd return that drawing, if I were you!

Anyone have any other ideas or experience with this?

Try a local mom & pop print shop. They should be able to sit with you and run a scan to a 600dpi TIFF file.

Even paintings that fall into the comic or illustration art category?

They told me that paintings fall into the "fine art and luxury goods (furs, etc.)" area of underwriting. I wholeheartedly agreed-

https://outside-affiliatelinksnotallowed.com/yu98zfah

So at their suggestion, I went and got a Fine Arts policy from Travelers -- which does need all of the paintings to be itemized along with acquisition value (or appraised value.)

I looked through my CI policy, and I don't see any language forbidding paintings. But I'm going to assume they know the coverage they're providing better than I do and will stick with their recommendation just in case.

Same here. As CI doesn't cover paintings.
