Gallery 8: Art Auction

Live from the Channel 8 studios for the next six hours you'll be watching Gallery 8.79. Channel 8's annual art auction with auctioneer, Donovan Artibur. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Gallery 8 for 1979. This year we've got a bigger and better program probably than any year before. Much better organized things are going to run smoothly and quickly this year. We have over 250 pieces of fine artwork, pottery, paintings, a great selection for you. There's no live audience this year. There's no need for you to come down, just set it home and enjoy the program and you can actually bid on the merchandise from right there at home. Many of you, thousands of you have pre-registered for auction bidding numbers, but if you don't have an auction bidding number yet, it's very easy to get one and this is really the only crucial requirement for you to fulfill in order to participate in the auction.

Call one of the two numbers shown on your screen right now. If you're calling from the Wichita area, dial 267-2051. If you're calling from out of town, use the free what line number. There's no charge of the calling party, 800-362-2429. Those numbers will be shown on your screen from time to time during the day. If you don't have an auction bidding number yet, give us a call, register now for a bid number. There's no obligation to buy. There's no charge for the bidding number at all, but you do need one in order to participate in the sale. When you call in, we've got 11 people here working as our operators this afternoon. Simply tell them your name, your address, and the phone number that you can be reached at this afternoon. After taking this basic information down from you, they will call you back within just a few minutes and give you your confirmed auction bidding number. The way things are going to go today is that we have some experts here or some people that we are going to be referring to as readers, and they will describe three articles to us.

After the description has been given on those three articles, we will then begin selling those three articles in the same sequence that they were just described to us. We'll be giving you the article number. Many of you have the KPTS catalog that was mail to you in advance. We'll be reading that number to you. And then we'll actually auction it off to the highest bidder. Now, there are a few things that I believe you're going to like about the auction this year that are a little different from last year. Number one, there's no need to come down. You can bid from at home. Number two, there are no minimum bids this year. All merchandise will be sold to the highest bidder regardless of what the selling price might be. We have an opportunity today to buy what may be a $500 value for $25 if that's the highest bid. Stay with us. Stay tuned. We've got a lot of great art. As you may realize, it takes a tremendous amount of work to put a program like this together. And over the last several months, there have been 35 volunteers who have put in over 300 volunteer

man hours to put this program together. During the preparation for the Gallery A card auction, the people here at KPTS have put together a film of some of the activities that have taken place during the months to make this option possible. While you're calling in to get your option bid number, we'd like for you to take about to two or three minutes and let's see about some of the work that's gone in to make this possible. You know, I think the main reason that we put this film together is to give you the

viewers some idea of the effort that's required. But even more importantly than that, I think it's our way of saying thank you to all those people who have volunteered their time and put forth the effort to put this project over. I know that I am and I feel like the people here at KPTS are sincerely grateful for that kind of effort. We've got the volunteers, we just couldn't make it and we want to say thank you. Some of you may have just tuned in. This is Gallery A card auction for 1979, there's really only one important thing you need to do and we're going to get started with the auction in just about another 60 seconds and that is call in register for an auction bidding number. There's no obligation to buy, there's no charge for the bidding number, but you will need one. We have 11 operator standing by right now, the numbers are shown on your screen. If you're calling from the Wichita area dial 267-2051, if you're calling from outside the Wichita area use the free want line number, no charge to use the calling party. The sequence will be very simple, we will describe three items.

We have an A board and a B board. After having described the three items, we will then in turn sell those three items in the same sequence that they were described. After they've been sold and we'll have a description of another three and so on until we've gone through all of the merchandise. We have approximately 250 items to be sold this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. So it'll move at a fast pace. If you should be the high bidder and you buy an article, you'll be wanting to know how do I pay for it and pick it up. Pick up and pay is the term that's been given to that area or that phase of the auction. We will be here from this point until 10 o'clock this evening, we'll be here for you to pick up your merchandise. We'll be here tomorrow from 12 noon until 10 p.m. Sunday evening for you to pay for and pick up your merchandise. If you're not able to get it between those hours, we'll also be here Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8 o'clock in the morning until 4.30 in the afternoon. Now Wednesday at 4.30 is absolutely the deadline. If you're not able to pick your merchandise up before 4.30 Wednesday afternoon, please

don't bid on it. Just pass it up, let someone else buy it. The books and records must be closed out and the merchandise picked up no later than 4.30 Wednesday afternoon. To tell us about the first three in this series, we'd like for you to turn your attention now to Max and Barbara Shival. Nancy Graham created item number two, 592, titled Stain Glass. The artist has used various shades of blue, red, orange, golden, brown on a white background, giving the viewer the effect of a glistening Stain Glass window. Item 592 measures 25.5 inches by 37.5 inches and was framed by the artist. Doug K. Speer, a member of the Wichita State University Potter's Guild, has donated item number 350, one of several of his pieces donated to this year's art auction. This is Stoneware Pot with lid and characteristic of high-fired stoneware, it is dishwasher-safe and oven-proof.

Please call now if you wish to bid on item 1 in the cycle, if you wish to bid on, if you wish to bid on item 2 or 3, please wait. Winter on the Cowskin is an oil painting by Phyllis Merkel. The item number is 649. Merkel has captured a remote stream deep into winter. Ice is formed on the surface and the bear branch trees rise from the snow-covered ground. The frame is natural wood with walnut, stain, and linen insert. Winter on the Cowskin measures 28 by 32 inches. The highest bid submitted is $25. Thank you, we appreciate that. Now as we told you, the first thing we'll do is sell the first item that they describe. Now I realize that some of you may be viewing the program for the first time this year and it may be just a bit confusing to you, but I think it'll all come into focus in just a few minutes and we'll get the right idea. Our first item is the oil painting entitled Staying Glass by Nancy Graham. It measures 25 and a half by 37 and a half, and if you'd like to purchase this item, begin

calling in right now because we only have about a minute in our Barbara and Max. Annvus entitled East of Leon by Billy Olinick. This painting features a road winding through a spring-touched wooded area. The bright greens and yellows are lightened by spring sunshine peering through the trees. Framed in dark wood, the painting measures 27 inches by 23 inches. Number 254, Farm Memories is a delightful little scenario of the days of the Farmhouse and Waterpuff, created by Lucille Morris, a member of the National Wood Carvers Association. Still are number one interviewer and she now wants to talk to us and Mike Felaire. You're going to get a really quite a unique opportunity. If you don't have an artist among your acquaintances, Mike is starting with an absolutely blank

piece of paper and he doesn't even have a pencil and when he gets through, he is going art. Donovan is going to auction the piece off. Mike, do you have anything, what are you going to start doing first? Let's start that way. Well, in the watercolor, I generally do the sky first because of the softness that wet on wet technique conveys and in this particular instance, I'm going to do a rain just to get your attention a little bit so I'll wet the paper first and you can kind of see what happens after that. He's just, oh, let's say we're going to have with some blue, see, is this, do we have number? Oh, Ultramarine Blue and Burn Umbers, but I'll probably hire a concentrate of Ultramarine Blue. And what I'm going to do if we can get an angle from this way, I'm going to, I hope that this is coming over on the camera because it is absolutely going to be gorgeous.

It is raining in our studio, again, hopefully, oh, we see, we now have a piece of canvas down there. Mike was worried that he was going to flood the floor. Can you see, is it coming over good? Oh, I hope so. Absolutely gorgeous. Mike, were you were telling me before the program, you're going to give some workshops at the rain tree gallery, is it? Yes, I've had a couple in the past and the weather in January got so bad that we didn't get a chance to in January so we're going to go ahead and follow through with one in February because the weather is so nice and it'll probably be next week called on the rain tree for more information. I'm going to get a hold of Louise Wynn and she will let you know more about it. So I'm going to drive a little bit of this here, I'm going to go to the background.

The same inch wide brush that I've got here. I keep losing him. He said he was going to use his inch wide brush and he's still using the Ultramarine and Umber and laying in a ground area. This will represent a background and it's got a softness because I put the paint on while it was still wet and the blue lens itself to a background because the cooler colors recede and the warmer colors advance so the blues will represent a background and then I'm going to put in some middle ground trees when this dries just a little bit and then the foreground and of course the warmer colors are going to advance. Do you think that today under the lights that probably things will dry a lot faster? You'll probably be able to do more than uh quicker than you would normally be able to paint a water color. Let me put it that way.

I certainly hope so. I can go ahead and go to the foreground because it's still a little bit too wet up in the sky area to put trees in so I'll go ahead and do the foreground and I'm painting nothing but shapes right now. I'll give these shapes identity a little bit later with detail and so forth. I think that we will probably have another opportunity to see the painting again as it moves along through the process. I can't quite see whether we're supposed to okay we'll go back up to the to Donovan and to the artworks that we're going to auction off. Thank you Betty. We appreciate it. Ladies and gentlemen what we're going to be doing just a little later on this afternoon probably within the what the next two hours Mike you'll have that finished. Beth Siford tell us about what we've got over there. Donovan I would like for all of the viewers to meet Miss Carolyn Simon Kern. Carolyn was with us last year and did a very smaller painting and this year she's painting

for us and we'll finish the painting I understand by eight o'clock. Then I understand you just became a member of the Kansas Watercolor Society. Yes I have painted in acrylic for probably the last six years and it never occurred to me that I would be able to even submit my work to the Kansas Watercolor Society because I thought that acrylic was more of an oil technique and I go to show after show after show and people say oh those are lovely watercolors I say well they are not really and they say well you should try to submit your work to the Kansas Watercolor Society and see what happens. Well and I'm not knowing too much about it I entered and found out that acrylic was accepted if it was handled in an outqueous medium way so I did and I got in. Well wonderful Carolyn what are you doing for us today? Well this is a little stone house that's been added on to buy some framework a screened in back porch I'm calling it or spring at grandmas and the reason Carolyn is because

of these darling little pieces here on the on the thing right she's doing her house spring house cleaning she's got her curtain hanging out raising out the window in her quilt and rug and she's got her her feels her plant and she's all prepared for a lovely spring and summer. Carolyn you have a wonderful feel for Kansas landscape do you just do this for memory or do you do from photographs or what? I have to have something either I sketch on the side or take photographs and then I combine what I have available to me and mix it up and for instance this house is a frame house that is loaded with hay it's being stored through the winter I think it's west of the airport so actually no one lives in it and it's not stone but I have you know I've done some reconstruction. And the gate and everything here this is all kind of a dilapidated place is that correct? Yes to an extent I picture grandmother rather elderly and unable to take care of the premises

that way so. You have a wonderful imagination and a real real feel for this sort of thing it looks like water color I must admit but you're using all this acrylic medium I'm an acrylic painter too and I use it in Pasto and you use it as a water color it's really interesting. It is acrylic is it's limitations are only in your own mind you know it's it's so fascinating it's such a marvelous medium to work with. And you have you have all this in your head right now and you're going to finish it you don't have your photograph with you at all do you? No I don't but I do have the frame and the mat ready and the glass and I will have it framed and matted and glass and brought back here ready to go. And we'll sell it at 80 o'clock is that correct? Okay now the colors you use you I notice you use what we call landscape colors and then you've got this wonderful little red in here do you use a particular palette? Yes I do yes and no I always mix my own green with the certain blue and certain goals

and this kind of thing but the what I like especially that tops off my paintings is red oxide it's such a pungent color but I I really enjoyed it's very bright and vibrant but I like a touch of it here in there. Well Carolyn we're going to come back to you in just a little while you get back to work right away so that you can finish it at 80 o'clock and we'll let Donovan go back to selling some of these paintings right? Okay Donovan. Thank you we appreciate that folks we're going to actually auction that piece off a little later on this evening if you enjoyed what you just saw stay with us because you will get a chance to bid on it and maybe you can be the proud owner of that acrylic work. $100 I've got $95 and to give $100 a wheel for it I'm $9500 thank you now 110 I have a 110 for it I have a hundred and ten and ten and ten and one ten one ten thank you

it's absolutely finished and Carolyn I know it's very difficult to have an artist to describe her own work but would you like could we prevail on you to do that it's a labor of love I've got about counting the two hours here short of two hours I suppose eight hours in it which for me is a long time for painting I average normally from four to six hours for a painting but this is one of the largest ones that I have done on an acrylic board I have done you know a mural type thing but as far as a frame type painting this is the largest I've done and I understand Carolyn you're going to go back now and frame this painting and then we will have it for sale around eight o'clock is that correct would you like I would like to say that these are this is so adorable she has put in all the little bricks and the little curtains at the window and and these little tiny birds coming out it's just absolutely exquisite piece Carolyn you're to be congratulated both for I was trying to think how to describe this

working and I think it's very honest you you you have a great affinity for landscape and it's very very honest work I do I'm a Ken's and then I'm proud of it this is Kansas okay we're going to take this back now and frame it and when we get through you're going to come back and we'll see how wonderful it is thank you very much Donovan back to you okay thank you we really appreciate those interviews and we appreciate getting to see the artist actually making and painting the picture right here on television and we'll be selling that to you a little later on this evening some of you may have just tuned in if you did we want to say thank you for tuning us in and we hope you'll stay right where you are this is gallery eight we're having the art auction and we're selling to you tonight with no minimum and no reserve price this merchandise is being sold to the highest bidder regardless of what the final bid is when the bidding stops we say sold we have had some fantastic buys go through this evening we've had some things a little bit high too by frankly but that's the way an auction goes sometimes some things are high some things are

A Melita Forsberg of Roxbury has donated this triple set of signed and numbered lithographic reproductions. Each is number 236 of an addition of 550. The set features three of a kind, a huddle trio of small rabbits, the bob white family and violet vignette, a pair of chipmunks frullicking among wild violets. Each piece is double-matted, an oval mat of brown and tan and framed in walnut with a matte black accent. Each is 21 by 17. Dennis, number 544 is an acrylic portrait by Joseph De Leon.

The artist has chosen a limited palette for this piece, relying solely on black, gray, and white to form the shape and features of a man's head. All right. Let's go back to Donovan then and work on these pieces. All right. Good. All right. Would you like to do that? Donovan, I think probably, while we're waiting, we should, am I in the camera's way? Let's see. Let me get over here. These, Melita Forsberg, I believe everyone in Wichita and vicinity know about Melita. Melita's a really pretty famous lady. These are Prince, Donovan, and aren't they charming? They really are. Really charming, Prince. And they'd go beautifully all three in a child's room, or if you had three children, they'd be wonderful to give

as a gift for one in each child, for each child. This is so darling. It's little chickadees and aren't they cute? Little baby chickies. And Melita's work is so charming and so really good work. She does beautiful watercolors. And we're selling these all three for one price, which is a real good deal. You mean we're selling them all three at one time? That's correct. And the way we're going to do it is to sell them so much a piece and take three. Whatever you say, Donovan, you are the... That's the way we're going to do it. We're going to sell all three at one time, and they'll be so much per picture, and you must take all three. So much a piece, in other words, if they bring $100 a piece, you will be charged $300. So much a piece, and you have to take all three. As an example, if they bring $100 a piece, you'll have to pay $300 for the group. What's our opening bit? $15. Thank you. $25. And now $30.

And Mary's buyer got it. And a nice buy. It's good that they all three went together. Thank you.

All right. Gentlemen, would you tell us about the next series of three coming up? Okay. Thank you, Donovan. Now we're on track. We're ready for number 544. It's an acrylic portrait by Joseph De Leon. The artist has chosen a limited palette for this piece, relying solely on black, gray, and white, to form the shape and features of a man's head. Number 544 is double-matted with light and charcoal gray, and measures 16 by 20 inches. Okay. Wink. Our next piece is item 543. Winter's Covey. It's an taglio print by Bob Garver, small animals in the bush, a familiar subject to Bob. The taglio techniques offer a new richness, however, to his skillful modeling abilities. The realistically handled birds are subtly contrasted by the playful abstract texture, abstract texture of the snow covered grassland. That's item 543, as measure is 16 by 14. A bit of $25 has been submitted for Winter's Covey, and now is the time to call and place your bid for the first item in this cycle. The last item in this cycle is textures and total contrast in item number 191, create an unusual piece.

This list of graph by Glenn Swaggart has been matted in white and framed in textured gray wood. The ink and the upper portion of this artist's proof appears to have been applied with a brush, hence the fine textures. The finger writing below, almost a finger paint effect, is combined with heavier texture, suggesting clay or mud. Writing in white is number 191. Okay. Back to you, Donovan. Thank you.

Are you ready for the first painting? I will.

I will. Now it's about a part of the art of art. I will. Ladies first. Gold and moonrise by Charles Rogers is number 252 and is the April selection for the 1979 KTPS Calendar of Art. Golden Moonrise is typical of Roger's work as he prefers to portray the West as it was in the day of the Cowboy. Item number 252 has been framed in a Goldwood frame, accented with natural linen liner. High-bitter will receive a 1979 calendar of art featuring Golden Moonrise. Okay, the 1979 Channel 8 calendar features Gary Ball, whose piece is item number 257. Gary's been an instructor at the Wichita Art Association for the last three years and is also taught in schools and Raku workshops. That's right, Raku workshops. The artist is known for his crystalline glazes, a unique process, perfected by Ball. This porcelain-led jar has a cool-bought magnesium crystalline glaze and measures 9 x 11 inches. High-bitter on this jar will receive a calendar that features Ball's piece in the month of July. Juan, by Sarah Pat Irkey, is item number 246.

Irkey has captured the pride and enduring courage of the Indian in this pastel portrait. The bronze skin shades have been perfectly captured and are accentuated by the brightness of the pink shirt and softness of a lavender headband. Strength and softness have been captured as one in this outstanding pastel. Juan has been framed in a weathered wood carved frame with linen liner, which measures 18 and a fourth by 22 and a fourth. This piece is the August selection of the KPTS calendar of art. High-bitter of number 160 has been submitted. The high-bitter will receive a calendar. Thank you, Janice and Randy. Is that right? Marsha. Marsha, I'm sorry. Marsha and Randy, thank you very much. We appreciate that. Okay, let's sell the first of those three that they just described. Before we sell it, though, let me share one thought with those of you at home. I keep telling you to get an auction bid number and you've really been great.

Fact of Marsha and Randy. Okay, featured in the 1979 Channel 8 Calendar of Art in the month of September is item number 262, entitled South of Here by Betty Moses.

This is a beautiful abstract, one of three paintings by Moses to be selected for the 1976 American bicentennial celebration. The 1200 exhibited pieces representing 800 artists were chosen from 25,000 entries. Moses mixed media technique in South of Here includes tissue paper, paper towel and grass paper with vibrant shades of acrylic applied all over. Number 263 measures 36 by 24 inches and the high bidder will receive a KPTS 1979 calendar. Okay, white space has been most effective in item number 394 and untitled water color by Bob Millen. The shadows are a delicate wash of purple and blue. The belt of trees in the background are accented by the farmhouse standing starkly white against the leafless branches. This winter snow scene is the January 1980 selection for the KPTS calendar of art, which the high bidder will receive. The original has been matted in brown and gray and framed in a beautiful walnut frame.

Framing for this water color by Bob Millen was donated by Mears. This piece now measures 36 by 28. Okay, and you can call in on item number one for this set right now if you want to. Item number 251 Columbia Tar is by David Bernard. David Bernard is one of the earliest innovators in calligraph printing and this scene has been systematically pieced together in shallow relief upon a rigid surface using a variety of textured papers, cloths, boards, and blues. The plate is anchored and printed independently for each color and the registration is critical. This careful painstaking process enriches the paper to give the effect of a well rendered printer image. Number 251 is matted in deep cream with a silver narrow metal frame. It measures 30 by 24 inches and again the high bidder will receive a 1979 calendar of art featuring Bernard's piece in the month of March. Thank you.

Next in this series is a color calligraph, it's titled Columbia Tar by David Bernard, Bill Rutherford, what can you tell us about this? First of all, Don, I can tell you that David Bernard is probably the most famous print maker we have in the state of Kansas. He's represented a number of private collections and many very famous public collections. Color calligraph is made from a plate of some order where the color is actually retained in the depressed areas of the plate. It could have been etched out by using an acid process

or by using a mechanical or a tool of some order, and he has to go through great number of processes to add each color that you see in this print. Do I read this right? He says color proof, number four dash, but does that mean this is four of only five? It may have been one of the trial proofs and there were five of those. Only five trial proofs. Artists proofs, trial proofs, as he goes through them, he's developing the final what he wants to go with eventually. And this is four of only five that he made. All right, and it's a David Bernard, very well known. Yes, he's headed the print department up at which state university. Fantastic, and he's donated this to KPTS and we're going to sell it for the highest bid. David Donates every year. He's a good guy, we appreciate it. We appreciate all the donations that we've gotten from the artists. We're just tremendously grateful for those donations. We couldn't do it without you. $50 to start and we'll go up from there.

Okay, Donovan, item number 522 is a stoneware-covered platter donated by an anonymous donor. It is a handmade piece from an Indian school in New Mexico and measures 14 inches by five inches. The cover is skillfully decorated with a stylized snake's head and dark shades of brown. You may put food directly in this platter, but it is not dishwasher safe. Snake's head, okay, our next item almost taken for a painting because of its size, spring migration by Dr. Herbert Solomon. It's a large, earth-tone photograph measuring 40 inches by 30 inches. The softness of the print blends all of the elements, either far or near, with nature moving up and forward into a violent sky. Rickerby's donated the framing for Dr. Solomon's photograph and it's number 423. And you can now start beginning on item number one of this group. Number 696 is an artist's proof of an addition of prints

which were commissioned by Nancy Landon Casabomb for personal gifts. The artist's name is Stephen Perry and Illustrator and Landscape Architect. The addition of 30 signed and numbered prints on the original can be found in Mrs. Casabomb's Washington office. The artist has used simple, sometimes delicate lines to express a typical Kansas scene with wheat in the foreground bending gently with the Kansas breeze. A narrow country road takes us into the background where the sun is setting on the horizon. This piece, number 696, measures 11 inches by 14 inches and will need to be framed. OK, Don. Thank you. Back to the first in that group of three that they described to you. The first one is Article number 522. It's an unglazed terracotta platter with a lid. Unglazed terracotta platter with the lid. Nicely decorated on the lid. The artist is an anonymous donor.

This is a photograph titled Spring Migration. The framing was donated by Richard Bees. The photographer is Dr. Herman Solomon. It measures 40 by 30 inches, and they tell me that if you were to find this in a gallery, you would find it priced at about $350. We don't want that much for it tonight, though. How much would you pay to start it? Set it in, what's it worth? Somebody give $100 bill for it. Who'd give $50, start the bidding? 20, thank you. Now 30, we have 20, but it'll be $30 on it.

We're going to make it $75.00. $75.00, sold it for $70.00. Jerry got it for $70.00. That was the last in that group of three. And now we are privileged, I think, to have a potter with us. And Cindy Rutherford is going to be interviewing our potter. We'll get his name and a little bit about what he does. Gary Ball, is that Gary, he's the guy that did that. Yeah, that's right. Chris is fantastic.

Good to meet you, Gary. That's one of the things we wanted to talk about first. If you were watching us about 15 minutes ago, you probably noticed the beautiful crystalline-litid jar that was sold. And that was Gary Ball's piece. And here is Gary himself. At about four o'clock, they did a preview tape just before the auction started. And Gary was on that tape. And I'd like him to tell us what he was doing. The piece that we were showing on camera earlier on tape was just a piece that I was working with in the studio. Piece of porcelain, which will be up for auction later on this evening, finished. You saw it raw as I was working with it like I'm working now. And then during the process of the last couple of weeks then I finished it up so that we can use it tonight. I hope the camera can pick up some of the things that Gary's been working over here very busily ever since he got here, probably close to an hour ago. And got all of his things set up as you can see some lovely shapes

and also over there on the side table are some finished pieces. Gary was telling me before we came on that he likes simple shapes for his particular kind of glazes. And I wanted to tell us about the crystalline glaze. I think that's the most exciting thing that's going on right now. Thank you, Cindy. Usually working with crystalline glazes is primarily the use of some nice clean forms. Porcelain, white stoneware, a light colored body. Crystalline glazes really work on those types of bodies because of the nice white background. They produce the growth. And when I say growth, that's really just exactly what we're talking about. Crystalline glazes are structured so that during the final firing process, the glaze firing process, we actually grow the crystals right on the surface of the glaze. It, depending upon the length of time, the application,

a number of other types of methods that we use, we can actually get the crystals to change from a seed that probably is 1,200th of an inch into something that may be 2 inches, 3 inches in diameter and grow, as you can tell, on the crystalline pieces, various sizes, depending upon the depth of the seed within the glaze itself. So that's primarily why I stay with the clean shapes, work with simple forms, and try to direct most of the work to rather decorative, rather than functional. I still do a lot of functional stoneware. I have a lot of clients and people who want functional pottery to put in the oven, to put in the dishwasher, et cetera. Most crystalline pieces, however, are rather decorative. They can be functional, but they can't take the abuse that stoneware can take. And so that's pretty much what I've been doing lately. Of course, you know, I'm teaching out of which to art association.

I get that plug in. Classes have just started, so we're just getting into the semester. And I teach functional stoneware there. The crystalline thing is my studio work. That's where I work on it the most, and don't have anything, anybody else has anything to do with it. You teach people to bring up pots, just like you're doing right now. Absolutely. Yes, probably not quite as well, but that's beautiful. Well, then you are a good teacher. These are beautiful. And it's fascinating to watch him work, starting from a blob onto something that is as lovely as this. That's a bottle, right, Gary? Basic. Yeah. And you're going to narrow that and not have it fall off. Well, I hope not, anyhow. We're trying, basically, you know, bottle shapes, or we basically trying to teach that there are only two shapes that you can make on a potter's wheel. A cylinder and a bolt. And that's it. Everything else is a derivative of that.

We'll be back to talk to Gary a little bit later on. I'm going to have to interview. We appreciate that. Really. Now we're actually going to be selling some of his work a little later on this evening, all right? Now, I don't know if you can tell, but all of the telephone operators are sitting here just cracking up. They're laughing hysterically. I'm going to tell you what they're laughing at. I can tell a joke on myself. Right here, I have one of these, you know, the old-time desk deal with a spindle on it. And I had it sitting right here. And I just sat down on it. Ooh, that'll keep you moving. That's motivation, isn't it? OK, let's get back into the art auction. Some of you may have just tuned in and you probably wonder what's going on. We'd like to tell you what's going on very briefly. This is gallery eights. Excuse me.

Once a year, art auction. We have had approximately 250 pieces of art donated to us and we're selling them at public auction via television to the highest bidder. There are no minimum and no reserve prices. Everything sells to the highest bidder. When the bidding stops, it has a new home. The only thing you need to do to participate is call in, register, and get an auction bidding number. Call one of the two numbers shown on your screen right now. If you're from the Wichita area, dial the 267 number. If you're calling from outside of the Wichita area, use the free want line. There's no charge to you as the calling part of using that want line. When you call in, the first thing the telephone operator will do is say, hi, my name is Bob Sharon Jerry, whatever the name is, do you have a bid number? If you don't have, they'll get you one. Give them your name, your address, your telephone number and they'll take that basic information down and within a few minutes they'll call you back with your confirmed auction bidding number. Now that will take just a few minutes to get your number after you have given us the basic information, so please be patient with us.

After you have gotten your number, should you be the successful bidder and you purchase something in the art auction? You will have until 10 o'clock tonight that come down here to Channel 8 and downtown Wichita and pick up your purchases. Or you can pick them up tomorrow between the hours of 12 noon and 10 pm in the evening. If you don't get it then, we'll be here from 8 until 430, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this coming week. If you can't get your merchandise out by at least 430, next Wednesday afternoon, then don't bid at the auction. Just pass it up, don't even be a bidder. If you can't get it out by 430, it'd be better if you let someone else buy it who can pick it up by the deadline. We have to close our book work out at that time. The sequence of advances, many of you know but some of you may have just tuned in is that we have some able-minded readers who are reading for us and giving us descriptions on three items and after we've had three described then we sell three. And they are Marsha McFarlane and Randy Brown. Would you tell us about the next items please?

Sure well, Donovan. I'm glad you finally got the point of this auction. An anonymous donor is donated item number 656, a signed lithograph reproduction by Ray Monos, one of Alaska's best known artist. Monos is recognized for primitive paintings depicting the true Alaskan peoples' costumes, lore and wildlife. This signed reproduction shows golden-eyed ducks which winner along the waters of Southwest Alaska. Number 656 measures 16 and 3 quarters inches by 22 and a half inches and is unframed complete with artist biography and matting instruction. This is number 571 out of an edition of 950. Number 657 is another signed reproduction by the previous artist entitled Crown and Mountain Ash Tree. The total edition numbers 950 and this is number 279. Pine Grossbeak and Bohemian wax-winged birds inspired the artist to create this piece. The artist states that flocks of these migrating birds

in the fall can see the mountain ash tree for miles. They will light on the tree literally by the hundreds and eat the berries and then leave as quickly as they came. Number 657 measures 16 and 3 4 inches by 12 and a half inches and is also complete with artist biography and matting instructions. Call now to bid on item number one in this cycle. The last in this series of signed reproductions by Ray Monos is Beluga Whale. Number 694 out of a limited edition of 950. The Beluga Whale is frequently seen in Alaska's northern waters. Beluga means white in Russian. These small whales are only about 16 feet long. We're learning a lot about whales here. According to Jacques Cousteau, there are only about 5,000 Beluga Whales left in the world. A very critical number. This print has been donated to gallery 8 by an anonymous donor. It measures 16 and 3 quarters inches by 22 and a half inches and is item number 658. Let him hang up. Okay folks, we're going to do something to save time

and maybe make it a little bit easier for you. We're going to do something just a little bit different this time. Now listen up. Here what we're going to do. We're going to sell these to you since they're all three by the same artist and all three of about equal value. We're going to sell them to you so much a piece. And if you're the high bidder, you may take your choice of whichever one of the three you want to buy. Now if you're the high bidder, you may also choose to buy two of them. Or you may choose to buy all three of them. Or if you're the high bidder, you may choose to buy just one of them. But that'll be your choice if you're the high bidder. Now those of you who are participating in the bidding don't hang up because if the first bidder only takes one, then we're going to offer you as the second bidder, the opportunity to take one of the others. Of course you don't have any assurance that you'll get one because the high bidder may say, well I'll take all three and then you'll be out of luck. So if you want just one, you'll want to be sure to be the last bidder. They are article numbers,

656, 657, and 658 in that number in those orders. How much do they work to you? So much a piece, take one, take two, take three, take them all. Your choice. They are a prince, yes. They're prince and they're numbered. All of them are a limited edition of 950. Each one is of a limited edition of 950. How much far? What's our opening bid? $15, thank you. Now 20, 25, and now 30. Their choice. Their choice. If they want the whales, they may have them. If they're the high bidder. $30, and now 35. We have 30, $35 on it. 35, and now 40, 35, 40. $40, $40, I am 35.

You're going to be 55. 55. Now folks, if you just want one, that's okay. You can take just one, but you'll have to be the last bidder to pick the one you want. We have $50, and everybody get $55. Keep your bidders on the phone. Now $50, excuse me, $55. Where's the $50? Soul, $50. Do they want all three of them? No, $50 a piece. That'd be $150 for the group. I want a camera shot on all three at one time. Does it take just one to the whale? All right. That's the whale, which is number 658. Is the whale, those two, Jerry's buyer. Now, you were the second bidder, Janice. Does your buyer want either of the other two? We have the raft of ducks, and the crow and mountain tree. Still pick the ducks. All right, your bidder gets article number 656. Jerry, we have one group left.

Is this your original bidder? Well, that's right. I'm sorry. Thank you. Can we get this one on camera, please? For $50. Your bidder can have these for $50 if they want them. They don't want them, OK? We need to sell them. That's the last in the group, and we're going to sell them right now. We need to sell the birds. Call in if you'd like to bid on them. Who'd give $25 for the birds? This is article number 657. Article 657, who'd give $25 for it? Who'd give $10? $10? $10. Thank you. Now $15, I have $10. $15 on it. I have $10 to get $15. I'm going to get $15. I'm going to get $15.

He's one of our guest artists tonight. Gary is actually producing some of his work right now. Cindy Rutherford interviewed him earlier, and we'll be talking with him again a little later. Here's a piece that he's done earlier in the year.

It is the one that's for sale now. Number 409 on a vase by Gary Ball. It's porcelain with a crystalline glaze on it, and what's it worth to you? $30. Thank you. We have $30 to start, and now $35.

Number 695 is a delicate and airy etching measuring 23 inches by 23 inches by Jill Flick. flick. The French blue flowers and deep green foliage are embossed across the bottom of a white background. This entaliot is matted in white with a hand-painted beveled edge of light blue and framed in soft antique white. Penace was donated by Scott Rice. Number 609 donated by James Tyler of Concordia is a monoprint and

collage titled O'Hara in the Sensors. Tyler has put a great deal of detail in this unusual piece printed on gold-foiled paper with black ink. Item number 609 would be an ideal gift for a John O'Hara fan for it is a collage of quotations by a Sunday Times book critic on O'Hara's publication entitled From the Terrorist. James Tyler is most noted as founder and chairman of the board of Pizza Hut lectures in Avantgarde Literary Magazine. Call now if you wish to bid on the first item in this cycle. Two artists, one a painter, the other photographer, have collaborated to exploit this new image in photography. The shimmering surfaces achieved through a direct approach which neither utilizes special techniques in the dark room nor alterations in the chemical printing process. Unrevealing their technique however, the artist forced the viewer to examine only that which he sees and knows. The articles are identifiably fruit yet also could be patches of red and orange in a watercolor wash of muted grays and blues on a plaid scarf. Number 600 measures 20 inches by 24 inches.

Thank you. Boy, that Linda's getting good at that. I'll tell you the networks are going to be after her before long. Coming up next, right here. Let's take a look at 6.95. It's a color. And tallio. And tallio. There you go. Is the G-silent, isn't it? And tallio. Oh, it's, hey, they've got it. They've got it here in parentheses for me spelled out phonetically. So I'll know, in tallio. Okay, pansies. That's the title of it. It was donated to us by Scott Rice. I guess that is that Scott Rice office products. I bet. Yes. Probably is. Jill Flick is the artist on it. And it is a limited edition. Number nine of 125 and signed by the artist. What's your pleasure on it? We have a pre-action bid of $30 who'd make it 40. Well, at $30 would have been $40 on it. 40 now 50. 40. $50 will be on it. Not 40 would have been $50 now 50. Now 60. 50. 60. 60. Now set. Do you have 60? No. I have 50. Looking for 60. That's your bid at 50, Bobby. That's your bid at 50,

isn't it? Is it her bid at 50? And you're 60. Now you can bid 70. Is he still on there? Well, at the rascal. You mean he hung even at 50? We have a $60 bid. Anybody want to get 70? 60? 70 dollars on it. And I second of it to get 70. Another bid at 70. 70. 70 dollars anywhere. 60. 70. 70 dollars forward. I 64 bid at 70. 70. 70 dollars.

Sold the pansies for 60 dollars to Bobby. Coming up next is article number 609. This is a monoprint and collage titled O'Hara and The Sensors by James Tyler. James Tyler is from Concordia. And apparently he's been involved in a lot of interesting lecture series of on guard art magazines. But there's something really kind of interesting about this. This is a dust cover of a John O'Hara book.

And now he calls it a monoprint. I'm not sure how he gets to a monoprint. Certainly here's the collage part. It may be a silk screen. But I hope that people can see it's very difficult. Look at that on the monitor. You can see that it's very wrinkly. But what it appears to be is actually an ink silk screen on a gold foil, which is very legible. But under these hot lights, it looks very wrinkly. But once put under glass, once possibly a fix to a backing and put under glasses will read perfectly. This is very difficult to see as it is. You say this was a book cover? This is an enlargement of a book cover. It's probably a photo silk screen. Okay. And it would be a very interesting thing. For instance, just simply put in a black strip frame, very inexpensively framed. It'll come across beautifully. All right. Great. James Tyler. How much far? How about an opening beer? Let's watch your interest on this. Article number 609. Who'd get $50 to start the bidding? Catch those phones. They're about to ring off the host there.

How about $25? Anyone at $25? There's one ringing. $25. Who'd give a $10 bill to start? What do you have? Betty, what does that mean? $10. Okay. Thank you. Now, $15. I got $10. $15. I can't wait. We've got to go. $15. I get $15. I'm going to get $15. $15. $15. Where? 10? $15. $15. I've been allowed to get $15. And now, 20 to you. I have $15. $20. Betty. $20. I have $15. And 20. I'm going to get $20. Anyone at $20? $20? $25. Thank you. And now, $30. $25. I'm going to get $30 on it. I have $25. And one bit 30. Make it. I'm going to get $30. $30. $30. $30. So $25 to Mary's buyer. $25. Next is number 600. Give us a call now. If you'd like to bid on article number 600, it's a photograph. It's a photograph. Actually, it's still life with fruit and a scarf. Steve Marillo and Tom Overholster are the artists on this. It measures 20 by 24. And that's mounted on, looks like heavy masonite board or something. How much for it? It is nicely mounted. It's the point it was trying to make to you.

Who'd give $200 to start it? Who'd give $100 for it? They tell me it has a suggested retail of $225. Suggested retail. We don't want that much, but let's get close to it. Who'd get $50 for it? $25. Thank you. I have $25 here. You'd get $30. Now, $40. I have $30. $40 on it. I have $30. You want to get $40? Not a bit of now, $40. $40. I didn't want to get $40. Now, $50. $50. $50. Now, $60. $50. $50. $50. $50. $50. $50. Now, $60. $50. $50. Now, $60. $50. Now, $70. We have $60. $70. $70 on it. I have $70. Make it $70. $70. $70. $70. We need $70. $60. $50. $70. $70. $70. Anyone at $70? So, for $60. Sharon's buyer got it for $60. That's the last in that through group. Let's go now to Cindy Rutherford and Gary Ball. Okay. You may have noticed a few minutes ago, a lovely greenish vase. I was always told that if it costs more than $25, you could call it a

vase. I guess that's a vase. Anyway, it was Gary Balls and he was very generous. I think we have to realize when an artist gives more than one piece, particularly pieces of that value that we owe them a great deal. And Gary's here and he's been working like mad over here. What do you do with it? Not like mad, maybe, industriously. How's that? That's a little better. He's been pulling up all kinds of beautiful things and he's working on something now. I don't know what it's going to turn out to be. What do we got here, Gary? We're just going to work on a bowl. Just, you know, doing some exercises really and throwing tonight because we don't keep too many that we do on demonstration work. I have here, and if I can manage to pick it up and if the camera can get in on it very closely, Gary wants to talk about this particular vase and we want to find out is what exactly is this business about crystalline glazes that make these pots so beautiful and so really very valuable. Gary, can you help us out here? I give you a little commentary on it. If they can get a real tight shot, it would be better. If you can look at the

design surface, you can actually see the pattern, almost flower-like patterns. Each one of those patterns is actually one very small crystal that has been grown from that small seed that we talked about before and to any particular size, again, depending upon the time. It, variation color wise, of course, comes from the different types of oxides that are added to a basic base glaze and then from their additions of two or three oxides, one oxide, whatever it happens to be. But the growth is over a long period of time. We're talking about anywhere from maybe 15 to 25 hours in firing time just for the glaze fire alone to actually get the crystal surface to work. We're going to be able to buy one of these. You're going to be able to have a chance to bid on one a little later on right now back to Donovan. Okay, thank you.

And we're going to be selling some of Gary's work a little later on the scene. I think we've got three pieces that we, if time permits, we're going to try to work all three pieces in so we'll move this thing along quickly. His work has always been very popular and has a lot of interest in it. We appreciate him coming out tonight. Folks, we've only got 30 minutes left and tonight's sequence is if you don't have an auction bid number yet, call in and get one. We want you to participate. We are ready now for our next three. Figure study hands is item number 648, a pencil drawing by a Keltoff and donated by Pellan Pellan Terriers. This represents the specialized knowledge that Keltoff has as a draftspin. Regardless of the subject, the form moving in space is the primary concern of the artist. These hands are objects and also simply a thin layer of graphite on paper forming a two-dimensional pattern or a three-dimensional illusion. Item number 648 measures 26.5 x 21 inches and is finished off simply with a simple black frame and non-glare glass. Dennis Tobin of the WSU Potter's Guild has donated item number 353, a striking wheel thrown

stoneware vase. With handle, the vase measures 4.5 x 19.5 inches and has some very interesting details inscribed into the surface. The glaze consists of satin and matte shades of greens and colors. Bingmer Bergman fans will delight in the dove and hilarious parody of the Swedish master of filmmaking featuring Madeleine Khan, just one of the Oscar winning and nominated short films Monday Night on Academy leaders. Also from France, the charming one-eyed men are Kings. From the United States, the Academy Award winning a Time Out of War and from Hungary, an animated evocation of the Cisophus myth. Join host Norman Corwin on Academy leaders, Monday Night at 8 on Channel 8. Monday Night, Bill Moyer's journal presents a film report of a December conference on America and the Carter presidency held at Indiana University. The convocation examined the cultural and moral significance of Carter's presidency thus far, including looks at the outsider

in Washington, the role of religion in a president's life, and the power and public perceptions of the presidency after Watergate. Don't miss this timely and relevant report on Bill Moyer's journal Monday Night at 7 on Channel 8. K-P-T-S Channel 8 Hutchinson, Wichita, Kansas. Live from the Channel 8 Studios for the next six hours you'll be watching Gallery 8.79. Channel 8's annual art auction with auctioneer Donovan Artibur. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome again to Gallery 8, our annual art auction. Many of you were with us yesterday and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We want to thank you for tuning in again this afternoon. For those of you who may be with us for the first time,

there are a few very basic rules that we need to get out of the way and we'll get right into the merchandise. We have approximately 125 items that will be auctioned off today to the highest bidder. One major difference in this year's auction from the years past is that this is a no minimum, no reserve auction. There is no starting bid necessary. An item may be worth $500, but if the high bid stops at 50, that's where it sells. You can start it for $5 or start it for 50. It's an auction where you the bidders at home set the price. There is no live audience this year. We have only the telephone operators here in the studio. There are very few, if any live bids that will be taken from the studio, you may stay at home, call us from your telephone and place your bids via the telephone. There's really only one thing that you'll need to do in order to participate in the auction and that is to be a registered bidder. Many of you were registered yesterday and the number that you had yesterday is still good for today's auction. Thousands of you have received your bid numbers in advance through the mails and those are the

numbers you'll want to turn in when you call the operator. But if you don't have an auction bidding number yet, you'll need to get one now. There's no charge for the bid number. There's no obligation to buy whatsoever, but you do need a bid number. So call one of the two numbers shown on your screen. If you're calling from the Wichita area, dial 267-2051 and if you're calling from outside the Wichita area, use the free watch line. There's no charge to you, the calling party for the what line. Just call in, tell the operator I'd like to get an auction bidding number. They'll ask you for some basic information. They'll want your name, your address, and the telephone number where you can be reached this afternoon. After having gotten this information from you, they'll turn your bid card in to one of the people in our confirmation office and in a few minutes, we hopefully within a very few minutes, someone in confirmation will be calling you back, giving you your auction bid number. Now, the purpose in us calling you back instead of giving you the bid number immediately is so that we can eliminate any pranksters or kids calling in who might not be serious about the auction. Many, many, many yesterday I said man hours and got

to thinking about it. Later, I should have said person hours to take the ladies into effect. Many person hours have gone in to putting this auction together. There were approximately 35 volunteers who worked over 300 person hours prior to the sale to make this thing happen. And the people here at KPTS have put together a little film showing some of the activities and some of the work that was involved in putting this sale together. And we'd like to pause now for just a few minutes while you're calling in to get your bid numbers and show you a film. Let's take a look at it now. Thank you and that gives you some idea of the work that has gone in for the preparation of this

auction. Let me give you just a few basics about how the auction is going to operate. For those of you who are with us for the first time today, you'll be turning your bids in should you see an item that you're interested in to one of our 11 telephone operators and we'll probably be getting a shot of them in just a second. The first thing they'll do when they answer that telephone is say hello my name is that's the first thing you'll hear from them is they're going to tell you what their name is and then they'll say KPTS gallery eight. But that'll give you a little better feeling of who you're dealing with. We've got Don and Darleen and Bob and Ron and Claudia Allen, Marcy, Mary, JJ, Terry, Mary R and Sue. They're all good people and I think they're going to have a good time with you. If you should be the high and successful bidder on any particular item, they will then ask you for your name and your telephone number. The first thing they'll be asking you after introducing themselves is what is your auction bid number and of course at that time if

you don't have an auction bid number then they'll take the basic information necessary to get you an auction bid number. As we said before there's no charge for the bid number, there's no obligation to buy but you do need one in order to participate in the sale so get one now. Yesterday we had several instances when some very valuable works of art were being sold and someone who apparently had not intended to buy or to participate in the auction realized what a great value it was, jumped up and ran to the phone and said yes I'll give $25 only to find out that they couldn't bid because they hadn't pre-registered and gotten an auction number. So get that out of the way, take care of it now. The way we'll be working today is that we have A board and B board and we sell and first we describe three items that are located on A board and after having heard the description of those three items then we will in turn sell those same three items in the same order that they were described then we'll go on with B board and back and forth. We will have in teams of two each several different readers that will be with us from now until we go off the air this evening at

10 o'clock. To get us started on our first group of reading we'll be see Henry Nathan and Allison Hartage. Now we're not going to go to them just right now but we will in just about another 60 seconds we'll be right over to them. Just want to give you kind of an idea of how we're going to be operating. Should you be the high and successful bidder and purchase merchandise at the auction today you will have until 10 o'clock this evening to come down pay for it and pick it up. If you can't make it today there'll be someone here Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of this week from eight in the morning until 4.30 in the afternoon. Now if you're not able to get it picked up by 4.30 Wednesday afternoon it would be best if you not buy. No whether or not you can get down before 4.30 this Wednesday and if not just pass it up let someone else bid on it. When you come down to pay for your merchandise we will accept personal and company checks with proper identification. We'll also take those two major bank cards if you want to charge it and of course we'll also take cash. I think that about covers all the basic ground rules. Just be sure to get your bid

number this is going to be a fast-paced thing. We don't want to miss anyone's bid but we have so many pieces of art to be sold and we really six hours is not that long to sell 125 items so it has to move quickly. If you see something you like get on the phone make your decision and turn in that bid quickly. Let's go now to our readers see Henry Nathan and Allison Hartage. Okay item number 742 is entitled The Fitting Room. It's an oil on canvas by Helen Fee an abstract representation of the goings on in a woman's fitting room. The work is full of warmth and humor. Miss Fee employs natural neutral colors highlighted by a brilliant blue green in this painting that measures approximately 12 by 18 inches and it's framed in a matching green stained antique wood. Fun piece Allison wouldn't you say? I think it really is. I think it'd be very interesting in someone's home. The next item is by Mark Kassler of the Wichita State

University Potter's Guild and he donated this item which is number 721. It's a stoneware bowl measuring 11 and a half by six. This piece has a soft rose colored glaze accented by blue and white slip applied to the edge. This bowl could be used as a purely functional or decorative piece. Interesting shape. Yes it really is. And number 3 in this set is number 571 Snow Fence by Adwina Schissler. It's a multicolored wash in pink, blue, green and brown describing the fresh beauty of a cold winter day. It knows we've had plenty of those. The Snow Fence creates a repeated pattern that moves backward into the middle ground of a soft fuzzy setting covered with untouched paper to represent snow. Snow Fence it measures 20 by 16 and is item 571. Thank you. Well done. Okay and it may take us just a minute or two to get the swing of

things but now's the time to call. Pick up your phone right now if you've already registered and have your auction bidding number and would like to bid on the first article that we're offering in this series.

Would you get $70 for it? $70. Marcy. $70. $70. Thank you. I've got it just ahead of you. We need $75. $70. Anyone with $75? Thank you. And $80. $70. $70. $70. $70. $70. $70. $70.

$85. Now $80. $80. We have $75. Would you bid $80? $80. Do you better want to bid $80? $80. So for $75, Alan's bidder got it for $75. And that completes our first group of three. Let's take a look now at the next group. And Allison, would you tell us about the first? Sure. James Cornell, a member of the Wichita State University Potter's Guild, donated item number 355 to Stoneware Pitcher. Cornell has achieved an extremely interesting service texture by the combination of more than three different high-fired glazes. The colors range from browns to grays, and the well-formed picture is accented, nearing the pouring spout with a deep thick brown brushstroke. As with all high-fiber stoneware glasses, high-fire stoneware glasses, glazes, this picture picture is ovenproof and dishwasher safe. And item number five, nine, pardon me, five, nine, three, gazebo. It's an oil painting by Nancy Graham. Miss Graham has placed against a gray background, a lively and energetic gazebo with red and gray figures. The artist paints with a delightful sense of movement and accomplishes this with a few brushstrokes. Item number five, nine, three, is framed in wood painted black and measures 24 and a half inches by 45 inches.

The next item, seven, one, nine, is a stoneware platter by Susan Koalczyk, a member of the Wichita State University Potter's Guild. This is quite a large platter which would be ideal as a serving dish or centerpiece for your table. It measures 18 inches in diameter. It is wheel-thrown and finished off with a medium brown glaze. Item seven, one, nine is dishwasher safe and ovenproof. Before we sell this particular group of three, we've had a very good question to ask and this is as good a time as any to answer that question. Last year, some of you who watched may recall that there were starting vids or minimum vids on every piece that came up for sale. This is not the case this year. This year we're conducting a no minimum, no reserve option and there are no starting prices on anything. Now, there was a two-week showing of all of this art at the fourth financial center and during that two-week period that the art was shown, people were given the opportunity to submit a legitimate bid or a pre-oction bid on the merchandise if they wanted to. This is not a minimum price necessarily. It's not a starting price. It's just an offer that was received during the showing time. Now, as to give you an example, our first item, I have a pre-oction bid of $15 on the first item that is about to be offered. The other two items have no starting vids or no pre-oction vids whatsoever.

If a caller calls in and says, I'd like to start one of them at $5 or $50, that's where the bidding will start. But there are no minimum vids, there are no starting vids on any item, although maybe 10% of what we have to sell, we have received pre-oction vids on. Does that make it pretty clear? All right, good enough. Our first item then in this series has described for us by Allison is the picture. It's a stoneware work by James Cornel. It's article number 355. And I had 15 pre-oction bid, but already Terry has an offer of 20, and now we need 25. 25, thank you, Mary, and $30, $25, anyone with $30, do you say 30? Not $35, Mary, $35 for it. Now $40, now $45, $40, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, $45, sold it to Claudio's buyer for $40, Claudio got it for $40.

Second in the group is article number 593. That's all right. Five, thank you. Read it, 593 is an oil painting, it's titled Gazibo by Nancy Graham. It's on your screen now, article number 593. And what's your pleasure on this? Call in, start debating where you'd like to own it. $10, thank you. Now 20, we have $10, $20 for it. I have $10, but now 20, who'd get $15 for it? Folks, this is an original oil. It's a good-sized work. Number two in the group, you can see that it's a large painting. It's 24 and a half by 45 inches. I have $10. 20, thank you. Who'd get 25? We have $20, anyone at $25 for it? 25, thank you, Mary. Now 30, $25 would get $30, Alan, $30. We have $25, 30, and $35, Mary, $35 forward. We have 30 would get $5, and now 40, it's going to be $5, 40, it ought to be bringing $100. Worth that? 40, thank you. Now 45, Mary, we have $40, would have been $45 forward. I have thought it would have been $45, $5, and now 50 to you, Alan. $50, $45, $50.

$50, we have $45, would have been $50, $50, anyone at $50? 50, and now 55, Mary, 50 is bid, would have to make it $55. $55, we have $50, would have to get $55, $55, any interest at $55? Sold it for $50, Alan's buyer got it for $50. Third in this group is a stoneware platter. It's by Susan. What helped me with that? Is that Koalas' checkered? Koalas' check. Koalas' check? Koalas' check. Okay, Susan Koalas' check. It's 18 inches in diameter. It's article number 719 on a stoneware platter. It has pretty colors to it. How much? $15, and now 20, 20, and now 25, and now 30, 25 would get $30, and $35 forward. I have you at $30, you're going to get $35, now 40. We have $35, anyone at $40? $35, anyone at $40? We have $35 bid, would you give $40? $40? Anyone at $40? Sold it for $35. Who's bitter? We're right here. Marcy got it for $35. That completes this group with three and back to our readers.

Item number 611 is an oil on canvas by Helen Lee. Retired is a symbolic painting of an antique plowed ditch in a sunlit Kansas wheat field. The colors are shades of orange, yellow, pink, green, and brown, and it measures 22 by 28 and a half inches. The painting is double framed in yellow and orange painted wood. Item 711, titled tulips, is a watercolor by Alinsburg Art and Signi Larson. Ms. Larson has painted a beautiful bouquet of freshly-picked tulips and against a green background wash. This unframed painting is matted by an egg shell pebble mat bordered in black and measures 28 by 22 and a half. Item number 654 is titled Sunflowers, a watercolor by Barbara Britton. This small but very pleasing painting of sunflowers measures 13 by 17 inches.

Turn the bid in and the bid takers will get it to me just almost instantly after you've made your decision. Just make your decision as quickly as you can. Thank you much. Okay.

Next we go to the B-board back to C-Henry Nathan and Allison Hartage. Thank you. Heritage Hut has donated number 503. It's a hoop weaving workshop. The workshop consists of six hours of hoop weaving instruction with your choice of one of the following dates. Saturday, February 24th, Saturday, March 24th and Saturday, April 21st.

The time will be 9 o'clock AM to 3 o'clock PM. For those of you not familiar with hoop weaving, it consists of starting with a metal ring weaving your yarn around the large ring and then applying the warp in various weaving patterns. Materials are not included in the workshop. The number is 503. And number 512 is a stoneware platter by rock fund, which measures 12 inches wide. This will be lovely to set on your table just as is or as a serving bowl for fruit spaghetti, even bread. The platter is woven and is oven and dishwasher safe, which makes it a very practical piece. Fund has finished off this wheel thrown piece with a light green satin glaze on top of which green and blue slips have been applied.

Indian dancer is item number 546 and has been donated by Evelyn Jordan. This oil painting is a riot of colors. The Indian dancer is surrounded and nearly engulfed by magenta, peach, orange, yellows, greens, golds and browns in the feathers. The piece measures 25 by 32 and is framed in a pale blue frame with a white accent. All right, thank you, Allison. And the first in that group that we've just had described to us is article number 503, hoop weaving workshop. Now you're not going to see a hoop weaving workshop on your screen. But if you recall the description that they just gave you, this you're buying the right to participate in the hoop weaving workshop. And I think did you tell them what value it had? I think it hurt. Did you tell them the value of it? It's about a $10 value, so don't bid $30 or $40 for it. Who'd give $5 for the hoop weaving workshop? Give us a call right now. It's for sale to the highest bidder.

We're ready now for another group of three and let's take it back to see Henry Nathan and Allison Hartage. Thank you. Wichita Consistory by Clarence Hotvett is item number 500 and is a reproduction signed and numbered by the artist. This is number 45 of an edition of 50. Hotvett is a charter member of Prairie Printmakers and of the Wichita Artist Guild. His work shows locally at both the Wichita Art Museum and the Art Association.

Number 500 measures 15 and a half by 11 and will need to be framed. Barbara Newport from Liberal created this hand-built stoneware piece, item number 349. Barbara is a ceramics instructor at Suord Community College in Liberal and considers herself a self-taught artist relying on inspiration from Clarence's Prairie Scenes. She states that she tries to capture the strength of the wind to distort and the gracefulness and abstract beauty this force can leave behind. Barbara has embedded a subtle texture into the clay and is used both matte and stain light brown glazes. If you look closely, you'll find small flakes of shiny gold throughout the vase. This item, number 349, would be lovely filled with dried or fresh flowers. It measures 17 inches high. Another load for the crib portrays a scene that is all but disappeared from the prairies. Number 702 is an oil painting by Ernie Logan. The pieces 14 by 18 inches has been framed in carved walnut with a linen liner.

A high bit of $65 has been submitted on another load for the crib. Number 702. Thank you. All right, the first in this group is the signed reproduction of the Wichita Consistory by Clarence Hotbed. And Rita, could you tell us just a little bit more about this or the process? Yes, I'm really proud to be able to talk about this piece and I could talk about this piece for quite a while. As this was stated, it's a lithograph and you'll recognize the Wichita Consistory. It's a fine statement on a very fine piece of Wichita architecture. Clarence Hotbed is known in this area not only for his prints but also as a water colorist. And Mr. Hotbed is not only a Wichita artist but a Kansas artist. He goes back to the early mid-1920s as a charter member of the Wichita Artist Guild, a member of the Prairie Printmakers and Kansas Watercolor Society.

This piece is one of the fine prints we're seeing these two days in our auction and it would be, of course, a fine addition to a collection or a great start for a collection. Great. Thank you very much. It's listed as article number 500. If you're interested in it, give us a call right now. It measures 15 and a half by 11 and it is a limited edition. It's number 32 of 15.

I used to say vase and then I got to involve with Channel 8 and the art auction and got sophisticated and now I call it a vase instead of a vase.

That was for you, Zoll. Okay, this is by Barbara Newport at 17 inches high and it is a gorgeous piece. Call in now if you'd like to bid on it. Okay, with the lady who bought the clearance hot bid, would you call back in again please. Terry failed to get your name and phone number. Oh, you got her on the phone right now. Great.

Yes, Donovan. I'll walk in front of you here pardon me. This beautiful and exciting colorful print is a reproduction of an oil. You may remember Hon Videl had an exhibit here in Wichita at the Art Association about a year ago. And in this painting she states that she is remembering or looking back to her years or youth in Germany and the flowers and the forest. And this is what she captures. She gathered up the flowers and prepared them and painted them in their studio. It's very, very exciting. It's very difficult to see the quality of paper and reproduction. It is definitely museum quality. It might not even need a mat. It certainly would need a frame. All right. Thank you very much. This definitely is a reproduction of an original oil done by Hon Videl.
