'By the way think the site is great and have been to quite a few auctions St Albans, Watford & Bedford. I am making a nice little second income, but certainly not retiring, am going to take a week off work to check out the midweek sales to see if goods are any cheaper at these.

At the auctions: Family's fitting tribute to fine Armagh artist

Armagh artist Hampton Ewart, who passed away earlier this year, was a popular person. He started painting in the 1980s after discovering a latent talent which he sought to develop through landscape and portrait work in watercolour.

However, it was when he moved into pen and ink work that his true artistic talent came to the fore.

With it came a thirst to draw an Armagh of yesteryear as well as contemporary scenes of the beautiful city and the surrounding areas of the orchard of Ireland.

In the 1990's Hampton had his own popular column in the Ulster Gazette, Ewart's Armagh, which also gave him another enjoyable outlet for his talents.

In his memory Hampton's family has now set up a website, www.armaghprints.com which is not only dedicated to his pen and ink work of Armagh City but also Tynan, Keady, Markethill and other areas throughout the county.

Son Glenn tells me: "We miss dad greatly but we had discussed with him the idea of launching a website of his work before he died and he was very excited about it.

"It has been a labour of love for my mother and other family members and it is our intention to run it as a joint family project to keep his spirit alive.

"There are over 60 prints on the site but dad drew hundreds of others so we would urge people who visit to ask if they don't see their favourite.

"Our hope is it will be a lasting and fitting tribute to him."

Sotheby's sale

A presentation copy of James Joyce's Ulysses and the Yeats collection realised fine prices at Sotheby's London sale of English Literature, History, Children's Books and Illustrations.

Simon Warren, of the top sales house, told me: "The First Edition presentation copy of Ulysses, which was inscribed by Joyce to his friend the artist Arthur Power, fetched ’36,000 against a high estimate of ’25,000.

"The Sydney Cockerell album of autograph letters by Yeats, including the complete autograph working manuscript of his essay "The Tragic Theatre", made ’72,000 against the lower estimate of ’60,000."

Sotheby's had an exceptional Irish sale in May, achieving a total of over ’5m and obtaining ’792,000 for a work by Roderic O'Conor and a world record price of ’114,000 for FE McWilliam's 'Eve'.

At that sale, 54% of the lots on offer made over their high estimates.

Around the sales

HUMPERDINCK AUCTIONS PRIZED MOTORBIKE.

Veteran crooner ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK is auctioning his prized motorbike on auction website eBay - because he accepts he's now too old to take to the road on two wheels.

The 67-year-old plans to donate the profits of the sale to charity and he his hoping an active buyer will save the high specification Harley Davidson from an idle life in his garage.

He says, "I don't ride it as much as I used to and it's such a beautiful bike, it seems a waste for it to stand around not being used.

"It's got all the extras. I used to ride it up and down the Pacific Highway in California."

The auction will begin on August 11 (05).

Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne Concert Posters Up For Auction.

Backstage Auctions has announced the date for their upcoming Rock Art Poster Auction that will feature over 3,000 original concert posters, which date back from the 1960s through current day. Additionally, the auction will feature complete numbered and first printing series of the "Family Dog" and "Bill Graham" posters, handbills and card series. The auction will begin on Sunday, August 14 and will run for two weeks and end on Sunday, August 28. The full auction catalog will be available online to view beginning Sunday, August 7 at www.backstageauctions.com.

When given the opportunity to review the auction catalog, renowned rock historian Paul Grushkin (author of "The Art of Rock: Posters from Presley to Punk", "Art of Modern Rock: The Poster Explosion" (co-author with Dennis King) and "The Treasures of The Hard Rock CafeL" (co-author with Joel Selvin) commented that "Backstage Auctions has done the next to impossible task of bringing together the most coveted rock poster sets along with many of the holy grails most representative of the psychedelic era." He goes on to remind us that "The great psychedelic posters lit up our homes, our workspaces, and our dorm rooms for decades. Now theyfre among the most collectible posters in history." Many of the items being offered are rarely available to collectors or fans. According to Grushkin, "The few times complete Bill Graham and Family Dog poster sets have ever been available, they were on and off the market in a heartbeat."

In addition to the collections being auctioned, there are hundreds of individual poster lots of musical legends like AEROSMITH, THE ALLMAN BROTHERS, BB KING, THE BEACH BOYS, THE BEATLES, EAGLES, ELVIS PRESLEY, GRATEFUL DEAD, JEFF BECK, JIMI HENDRIX, OZZY OSBOURNE, LYNYRD SKYNYRD, RAY CHARLES, PINK FLOYD, STEVIE RAY VAUGHN, THE WHITE STRIPES and THE YARDBIRDS, YES and ZZ TOP \ just to name a few. According to Backstage Auctions co-founder Jacques van Gool, "For the first time, this is truly an auction for every fan or collector of classic rock memorabilia. There is literally something for everyone who ever loved rock and roll."

Backstage Auctions is a leading online auction company specializing in classic rock memorabilia. Founded on the principles of combining their clients' career achievements and popularity with the demand and interest of collectors and fans who desire truly authentic and unique collectibles, Backstage Auctions is the place where rock legends live on.
