Hi
I'm James,
your art community manager. I am new to the iTaggit team
and have really enjoyed browsing through all of your collections.
There are some amazing pieces on display, and even more housed within
private collections. In this newsletter, I will be highlighting one
user's collection, as well as one true work of art.
There is a stir in the art community as London-based Dali-Dealer, Stan Lauryssens, claims in his new book Dali and I
that 75% of Dali's paintings were not produced by the artist himself.
Lauryssens asserts that famous Spanish painter Salvador Dali actually
had a team of assistants producing his work long after the artist had
lost his creativity. One can only speculate about how this revelation,
if true, will affect the value of Dali's works. Read more at Artdaily.org.
Feel
free to message me if you have any questions, suggestions, comments or if you would like to be
featured in next month's newsletter!

Olive Thomas
Photograph Collection
The
featured collection for this month is a
rare collection of photographs from user tressie.
Her
collection consists of original photographs taken and signed by
"Olive Thomas." Olive
Thomas was an American silent film actress. She was a Ziegfeld girl
and said to be the original flapper. She is possibly best remembered
for her marriage to Jack Pickford and her untimely death at the age
of 26 in the early 1920s. Photos like these can range in value from $1,000 or more!
