Posh Paws, Charity of the Day

Posh Paws is an idea put into motion by Cantoni furniture store and inspired by a small polyethylene dog originally created by designer Eero Aarnio as part of his children's collection. The Posh Paws version takes the original dog, adds in a few local and national celebrity designers, and comes up with an entire line of adorable and unique puppy toys (toys that are puppies, not toys for puppies) that are up for sale to benefit various charities in the name of animal rescue and helping stray pets find permanent homes. My favorite is this one by Zsofia Mezey Koppani.

Claudia Zeber-Martell and Michael Martell are an Ohio-based pair who work together to create fabulously zany works in clay. Their works range from lamps and glass-topped tables and vases to serving trays and mugs. The pair travel around to art fairs and are shown in galleries around the world. The teapot shown here is one of their signature collectible pieces and sells for $800.

Frida Kahlo Painting To Be Sold At Sotheby's

This striking painting is instantly recognizable as a Frida Kahlo. Roots, a self-portrait done in 1943 will be sold at Sotheby's New York on May 24 as part of their sale of Latin American art. It is oil on metal and has never before appeared on the public market. The painting was done after Kahlo remarried her Diego Rivera and is one of her few full-length self-portraits. The painting is expected to sell for $5 to $7 million.  The painting will most likely set a record for Kahlo's work and could set a record for work by a female artist.  I wonder if Madonna, a noted Kahlo collector, will be bidding on this one.

Rare Donatello Relief Goes Up For Auction

Posted Jan 18th 2006 11:02AM by Deidre Woollard

The loss of an Italian church may be your gain if you have a few million dollars. The Independent reports that the parishioners of San Giovanni Battista Church in Padua sold a terracotta relief of the Madonna and Child in 1902 in order to pay for a new organ. The piece is now going up for auction at Sotheby's in New York on January 26 and is expected to sell for up to $6 million. The piece was so covered in stucco and paint that the last time it came up for auction in 1990 it didn't sell. A recent cleaning and new research however assured the fact that it is definitely a Donatello, making it extremely valuable since there is only one Donatello in a public collection in the U.S.
