I have had a lot of success. I have found so many quilts that you could tell were filled with thousands of hours of careful planning and stitching. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/quilts-from-art-auctions.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT That there is an overwhelming number of pieces that represent this particular grouping of artwork seems false to believe, but this is happens to be on the rise as we get further into the new millennium, and realize the shedding of our cultures skins time and again. Grotesque artwork pulls us back into the human forms we have been born into, and truly seems to give us a reaffirming sense of who we are. There are many artists, though part of other artistic movements, which have proven to fill the criteria for this grouping of concepts. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-grotesque-art.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Vintage photography gives us a glimpse into the past, and helps to allow people to gain some understanding of the world before us. Unlike many of the collections that are considered the staples of art collection, vintage photographs are truly a unique exploration of the recent past, and many eras of the current civilization have come to contribute their share of what makes up vintage photography. Though not the largest grouping of auctioned materials of artistic value, they are still valued for their recollections of past events, and even items relating to vintage modes of photography are included in the auctioning of these things. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-vintage-photography.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT It is truly a wonderful thing when you consider how much we gain from our appreciation of art, what volumes it speaks about our own culture, and among cultures that make up the world besides our own. It is highly fashionable to understand something of what art is, how it tries to reinterpret our own scope of the world on an artistic level, and yet reveals so much of the human nature behind its creation. Todays artistic minds are no different in the outgrowth of ideas onto a canvas surface, and some are possessed with similar qualities that those artworks considered classics have had in the past. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-contemporary-art.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Art poster auctions are very popular. Owning great pieces of art has gotten easier. A properly framed art poster can be as nice as owning an original painting and it is far less expensive. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-poster-auctions.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Art auctions for drawings are categorized into antique, modern and contemporary. Antique drawings are any drawings that were produced before 1900. Modern drawings have to have been created between 1900 and 1949. Contemporary drawings are drawings that were created from 1950 until the present. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-for-drawings.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Ive been looking at art auctions on eBay all day today. I have found some wonderful things. I browsed the Art category and chose the subcategory of self-representing artists. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-on-ebay.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Faberge Eggs have always been special to me. Ive been searching them out at art auctions since I was in my early twenties. I did a term paper on the Faberge Company and their history of making eggs for the Russian Tsars between 1885 and 1917. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/unique-faberge-eggs.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Books about art sell well in art auctions. I have found many publications that feature my favorite artist, Dale Chihuly. There are books, catalogs and even magazines routinely up for auction. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/books-about-dale-chihuly.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT I find some really nice maritime items for my collection at art auctions. I went to an art auction in Charleston last month and found a pair of candle powered navigation lights that were used on ships in the 19th century. These types of candles were also used in lighthouse stairwells. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/finding-maritime-items-at-art-auctions.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Whether traditional or contemporary, Native American artwork is both highly collectible and universally appealing. Native American art forms the basis of many exemplary public as well as private art collections. People that collect Native American artwork can be very passionate about their collections. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/native-american-art-auctions-art-antiques.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT There are many very good examples of what you could call early American artwork that has survived to this day, and as time passes to create particular movements in style throughout the world, fundamental ideas change with a variation in locale and timeframe when it comes to the individual artists and their brilliant visions. Each artist certainly contributing something to the overall picture of the world as it shapes and changes around them, it takes an artistic will strong enough to transcend any particular era to convey the feeling of the period in such a condensed format, and the various forms that this artwork can take is numerous. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-early-american-art.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT I find old Hummel figurines at art auctions all the time. Ive been collecting them for my mother and her sister for a long time. They dont have the time to go to art auctions, but they have the money to buy nice figurines. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/special-hummel-figurines.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT The ancient civilizations that have come before this present period of time have always left behind some truly unique pieces to others after them to gain some insight as to what that society may have been like. We learn much from the artifacts collected by archeologists, and their attempts throughout the Mediterranean region of the world, where the peoples of Greece and Rome had originally found their home. Though much of these items are priceless works that cannot be just bought and sold, there are versions of some famous works that can be much cheaper for the casual shopper to purchase. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-greco-roman-statues.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT I am planning a trip to an auction at Sothebys in June. I have a real interest in 20th century British art and they have an art auction scheduled. I have spent a great deal of time planning this trip. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/upcoming-trip-to-sothebys.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Vintage Disneyana has become a personal passion of mine. Ive been searching for it for years now. I attend art auctions regularly, but usually only find vintage Disneyana at a small percentage of them. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/finding-vintage-disneyana.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT I have found some really beautiful pieces of artistic stained glass at art auctions. The worship committee at my church asked me to find some church window stained glass when I went to an art auction last fall. I found an excellent piece for them that was framed and 73 X 38.5. The congregation loved it. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/stained-glass-art-auctions.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT I have found many decorative collectibles at art auctions over the years.

We have a lot of fun finding pieces we dont already have and winning them. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/collecting-enesco.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Ive found that the best place to find collectible postcards is at art auctions. I was at an art auction in Eastlake, Ohio looking for stained glass and found them auctioning a lot of vintage collectible postcards. I bought the lot at the art auction and it contained almost three thousand beautiful collectible postcards. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/looking-for-collectible-postcards.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT There are so many good lots up for auction this summer at Christies in Amsterdam. There is a lot by Petrus Paulus Schiedges called Sailing on open water that is oil on panel. This is supposed to sell for more than two thousand euros. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/christies-in-amsterdam.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Folk art auctions feature a wide range of objects that reflect the artists craft traditions, and traditional social values. Folk art is generally produced by people who have little or no academic artistic training. Folk artists usually use established techniques and styles of a particular region or culture. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/folk-art-auctions.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT In the field of modern art, art deco plays a large and impressively lavish role. The strong colors and sweeping curves lend art deco the trademark boldness that expressed much of the progress and modern advances of the twentieth century. Art auctions around the world still move many art deco pieces of various kinds. If youre interested in collecting art deco, there are many art auctions both online and off that deal primarily in art deco. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-art-deco.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT My father-in-law is very interested in beer art. Breweriana is the special name for beer related artifacts. Ive been watching for special pieces to add to his collection at art auctions Ive been attending. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/breweriana-art-auctions.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT American Indian art encompasses many types of arts and crafts, from the more traditionally and or stereotypically Native American art such as beadwork and pottery, to modern photography, fine paintings, sculptures and the like. There are many art auctions, both online and off, that feature this form of American Indian art. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/american-indian-art-auctions-beadwork.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT Vintage posters are always available at art auctions. I have found all kinds of vintage poster art auctions lately. I really liked a vintage poster I found that was from the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam. The poster is rare because it is one of the only 500 of the 10,000 printed that is in French. http://info5000.com/ART-AUCTIONS/art-auctions-for-vintage-posters.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 14:27:34 PDT I have a shop that sells art glass.
