Works by Chagall, Dufy, Picasso, Hockney, Nadal, Others are in Ahlers & Ogletree’s May 16th Auction

Some of the brightest stars in the fine art galaxy – names such as Marc Chagall, Raoul Dufy, David Hockney, Pablo Picasso, Ludwig Bemelmans, Carlos Nadal and Georges Braque – will be represented, sometimes multiple times, at the auction of the Bridget and Jerome Dobson collection slated for Thursday, May 16th, by Ahlers & Ogletree, online and live at the Atlanta gallery.

“Since the 1970s, the dynamic duo of Bridget and Jerome Dobson has written award-winning episodes of several iconic daytime TV soap operas, including General Hospital, Guiding Light, As the World Turns and Santa Barbara,” said Robert Ahlers of Ahlers & Ogletree. “Between writing sessions, the couple collected incredible art on their travels around the world. Now, it will all be sold at auction.”

The auction’s undisputed headliner is the French/Russian artist Marc Chagall (1887-1985), whose signed 1980 tempera on Masonite titled Peintre, Ange et Amoreaux (Painter, Angel and Lover) is expected to realize $200,000-$300,000. The Dobsons purchased the work at a Sotheby’s auction in 1998. It comes with a COA from Jean-Louis Prat, an agent of the Comité Marc Chagall (ref. 92005).

Marc Chagall (born Moishe Shagal) was an early modernist painter, associated with the École de Paris as well as several major artistic styles. He created artworks in a wide range of formats, including painting, drawings, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramics, tapestries and fine art prints. The art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as “the quintessential Jewish artist of the 20th century.”

There are several artworks in the sale by Carlos Nadal (1917-1998), the French-born Spanish painter of the Fauvist school. They include a 1992 oil on canvas work titled Salon Rojo, signed lower left and titled, signed and dated to verso. The painting has a label on verso for The Bruton St. Gallery and measures 35inches by 45 ¾ inches (canvas, less the frame). The work should change hands for $25,000-$35,000.

An oil on canvas laid to board by Ludwig Bemelmans (1898-1962), the Austrian-born American artist best known as the illustrator of the iconic Madeline children’s book series, is titled Oh, Genevieve, Where Can You Be? The painting is tall and thin, at 66 ¾ inches by 22 ½ inches, and is unframed and apparently unsigned. The Dobsons purchased it at a Sotheby’s auction in 1999 (est. $20,000-$30,000).

There are three paintings in the sale by Bemelmans. In 1953, Aristotle Onassis commissioned Bemelmans to paint fifteen mural panels for the playroom on his yacht The Christina, named for his daughter. The murals were painted after illustrations that appeared in several of the author’s Madeline books, adaptations from originals in Madeline’s Rescue and Madeline and the Bad Hat.

Another artist whose name will be chanted more than once is Raoul Dufy (French, 1877-1953). His gouache and watercolor on paper titled La Plage d’Etretat (Etretat Beach) is titled lower center and signed lower right. It’s included in the supplement to the Catalog Raisonne of Watercolors, Gouaches, and Pastels by Raoul Dufy, reference As-0270. It has an estimate of $20,000-$30,000.

Dufy was associated with the Fauvist movement. He gained recognition for his vibrant and decorative style, which became popular in various forms, such as textile designs, and public building decorations. Dufy is most remembered for his artwork depicting outdoor social gatherings. He was also skilled in drawing, printmaking, book illustration, scenic design, furniture design and in planning public spaces.

A black and white lithograph on Arches paper by David Hockney (British, b. 1937), titled Big Celia #2 (1981), is #82 from an edition of 100 (est. $18,000-$26,000). The sheet is 52 ½ inches by 57 ¼ inches (the frame is 62 ¾ inches by 67 ½ inches). As an important contributor to the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, David Hockney is considered to be one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century.

Stepping briefly away from fine art for a moment, a circa 2nd century Roman marble trapezophorus (or table support), modeled as a lion with stylized mane, open fanged mouth, rounded chest, and rising on a monopedia paw foot with plinth base, apparently unmarked, has a pre-sale estimate of $8,000-$16,000. It was last purchased at Christie’s in 1996 and is 33 inches tall by 10 inches wide.

A large, circa 4th century BCE attic red figure terracotta bell krater (vessel for mixing water with wine) with Dionysus god of fertility, wine, and pleasure, having a rolled rim above an inverted bell shape body, flanked by lug handles, the whole rising on a pedestal foot, decorated on one side with a scene of a seated nude Dionysus holding a long staff, 16 inches tall, should hit $8,000-$12,000.

A pair of 19th century Italian walnut and mixed wood veneer commodes in the Neoclassical taste, having marquetry and parquetry inlay with bird and floral roundels to the top, three drawers with urn roundels, and rising on tapering feet, apparently unmarked, is expected to bring $6,000-$8,000.

Several artworks by Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) will cross the auction block. A Chope visage (A.R. 434) painted earthenware ceramic jug (or pitcher), #94 from an edition of 300 that was conceived in 1959, decorated with a blue face, stamped ‘Edition Picasso’ and ‘Madoura Plein Feu’, with painted marks ‘Edition Picasso’ and ’94/300′, 8 ¾ inches tall, has an estimate of $5,000-$7,000.

Also carrying an estimate of $5,000-$7,000 is a 1966 etching with drypoint on paper, a Picasso artist’s proof of 15 titled Venus Foraine, pencil signed lower right and ink stamped on verso ‘Succ. Pablo Picasso Coll. Marina Picasso’. The etching was acquired from the Fay Gold Gallery in Atlanta. It measures 12 ½ inches by 16 ¼ inches (paper; the frame is 32 inches by 35 ½ inches).

There are seven original greeting card artworks by Georges Braque (French, 1882-1963) in the sale. An example is a mixed media and gouache on paper, titled Carte de Voeux (1958), inscribed ‘Mes Bon Voeux’ and signed and dated (est. $4,000-$6,000). The 3 ¾ inch by 5 ¾ inch card (paper, minus frame) was previously in the Douglas Cooper collection and purchased at Christie’s in 1992.

An 18th or 19th century Italian walnut refectory dining table in the Renaissance taste, having an egg and dart and dentil apron, and rising on a trestle base with volutes, now having a larger glass top, apparently unmarked, acquired on a trip to Europe and originally installed at a monastery refectory, overall 31 ½ inches tall by 128 ¼ inches wide by 45 ½ inches deep, should sell for $4,000-$6,000.

An ancient Greek bronze votive lamp from around the 5th century BC, cast in the form of a ship with dolphin, a pierced hole near the front perhaps for a wick, 1 ½ inches tall and 5 ¼ inches long, with a later stand, acquired from Christie’s New York in 1996, has an estimate of $4,000-$6,000.

An ancient, circa 400-200 BCE Greek Hellenistic terracotta figural sphinx ewer, the seated sphinx having a woman’s head, a lion’s body with fully unfurled wings with applied pierced button punts at each apex, and a high arching strap handle, the whole resting on a circular base, should command $3,000-$5,000. The piece was acquired from the Royal Athena Galleries in Beverly Hills in 1990.

The auction has a start time of 10 am Eastern, with the live auction taking place in the Ahlers & Ogletree gallery located at 1788 Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard NW in Atlanta. Online bidding will be provided by the Ahlers & Ogletree website (AandOAuctions.com), as well as Bidsquare.com, LiveAuctioneers.com and Invaluable.com. Telephone and absentee bids will also be accepted.

Top Five Strategies to Handle Your Online Reputation Management in the Social Media Era

Online reputation management is a major issue in the digital age. This has been complicated by the fact that customers can say what they want about any organization, product, and services online. As an organization owner, you don’t have the power to control what customers say about your company, its products, or the services you offer. However, you can implement various strategies to enhance your reputation before you are attacked through social platforms.

Be Proactive
Most companies are not active on social media platforms. They remain passive and only react when something negative has been said about the company and its activities. This is the wrong strategy because it can lead to business failure and a damaged reputation. The key lies in remaining proactive on social media platforms. This includes highlighting the positive achievements of the company. It is a way of spreading positive energy before calamity strikes. If you have been proactive, it will be easier to deal with negative energy than if your company has been passive.

Post Regularly
If you want to build a cushion for your company, you have to post content regularly. This is a strategic plan of endearing your organization to members of the public so that you can have the power to deal with major challenges that face businesses when they have negative publicity. When you post important information, people will see you as a friendly company that is always looking to improve the products and services that you offer to customers.

Engage Your Followers
Posting on social media regularly is similar but different to engaging your followers regularly. You don’t have to wait for the time when your customers launch a complaint about the products and services you offer. Instead, you should be proactive and ask your customers what they want. You can also go further and ask customers to give an opinion of the products and services you offer. Most of them will give you a genuine opinion and tell you how you can improve. This is an online reputation management strategy that will help your company avoid major problems.

Watch Your Digital Footprint
Social media platforms are very sensitive. Although they are very important when it comes to market products and services, you should use these sites with utmost caution. Most people are waiting for the time when you will make a mistake so that they can have a reason to beat you down. Instead, focus on remaining vigilant and watching everything you post on social media platforms. Avoid a situation where you attack customers or post wrong information. This can haunt you in the long term and lead to a bad reputation for your company.

Use an Online Reputation Management Company
Despite having the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience to handle your online platforms, sometimes it’s good to look for an online reputation management company such as Status Labs. That way, you can concentrate on your business while the online reputation management company handles your reputation on social media.

Status Labs is a leading online reputation management company that specializes in SEO, and has been in the industry for many years. The company has offices in various parts of the world and is helping companies handle their reputations in this sensitive social media age. Status Labs will implement the necessary practices and policies to eradicate negative publicity while improving your reputation at the same time.

Pharmacy Contributions to Cardiovascular Health in Kotamobagu City

In Kotamobagu City, pharmacies play a pivotal role in promoting cardiovascular health through various initiatives and services. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a significant health concern globally, and local pharmacies have stepped up to address this issue within the community.

 

Pafikotakotamobagu are more than just places to dispense medications; they are vital healthcare hubs offering essential services such as blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol screening, and lifestyle counseling. These services are crucial in early detection and management of cardiovascular risk factors, thereby reducing the incidence and severity of CVDs among residents.

 

One of the key contributions of pharmacies in Kotamobagu City is their role in medication management. Pharmacists not only dispense medications prescribed by healthcare providers but also ensure that patients understand how to take their medications correctly and manage any potential side effects. This adherence to medication therapy is critical for controlling conditions such as hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which are major contributors to cardiovascular disease.

 

Furthermore, pharmacies in Kotamobagu City actively engage in health education initiatives. They organize community workshops and awareness campaigns to educate the public about the importance of a healthy lifestyle in preventing cardiovascular diseases. Topics covered often include proper nutrition, regular physical activity, smoking cessation, and stress management techniques. By empowering individuals with knowledge and skills to make healthier choices, pharmacies contribute significantly to reducing cardiovascular risk factors at the grassroots level.

 

Another valuable service provided by pharmacies is the availability of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and supplements that support cardiovascular health. From aspirin for prevention to omega-3 fatty acids for heart health, pharmacists help guide consumers in selecting appropriate products and understanding their benefits and potential interactions with other medications.

 

Moreover, pharmacies in Kotamobagu City collaborate closely with healthcare providers to ensure holistic care for patients with cardiovascular conditions. Through effective communication and shared information systems, pharmacists contribute to the continuity of care by monitoring patient progress, identifying any medication-related issues, and making necessary interventions or referrals to physicians when needed.

 

In conclusion, Pafikotakotamobagu are indispensable in promoting cardiovascular health through a range of services that extend beyond dispensing medications. Their efforts in medication management, health education, and community outreach play a crucial role in preventing and managing cardiovascular diseases among residents. By fostering partnerships with healthcare providers and empowering individuals to take charge of their health, pharmacies continue to make significant contributions to the overall well-being of the community.

Painting by Richard Clague Jr., Portrait of Zachary Taylor will Headline at Stevens Auction May 11th

Stevens Auction Company’s annual Spring Multi-Estate Auction was originally planned for April 27th, but auctioneer and auction house owner Dwight Stevens was so busy getting elected mayor of Aberdeen (and in the process unseating a longtime incumbent), the sale date had to be pushed ahead to Saturday, May 11th, starting promptly at 11 am Central time.

It will be well worth the wait, as just over 400 lots comprising the contents of several prominent estates from across the South will come up for bid, led by a vibrant figural landscape painting by renowned New Orleans artist Richard Clague, Jr. (1821-1873) and what is believed to be the last portrait painting President Zachary Taylor sat for prior to his death in office from cancer in 1850.

The auction will be held live in Stevens Auction Company’s new gallery facility in downtown Aberdeen, at 129 East Commerce Street, as well as online via LiveAuctioneers.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be accepted. An open house preview will be held at the gallery on Friday, May 10th, from 10 am-6 pm Central time. Doors will open to the public on auction day at 10 am.

The painting signed by Richard Clague, Jr. is an 1862 oil on cradled wood panel titled Hunter and Fisherman, Louisiana Countryside. It measures 18 inches by 22 inches (sight) and is nicely housed in a 28 ½ inch by 33 inch period gilt frame. Clague studied with Earnest Herbert and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. The painting carries a pre-sale estimate of $50,000-$100,000.

Clague’s obituary in the New Orleans Bee stated: “Mr. Clague has stood at the head of his profession in this state and his works have always been highly regarded by connoisseurs in New York as well as here.” Clague’s paintings are avidly collected by private individuals and museums, the latter of which house many important examples of his portraits and landscapes.

The 19th century oil on canvas portrait of Zachary Taylor is after the 1847 Battle of Buena Vista lithograph titled Gen. Z. Taylor Rough and Ready, according to the Smithsonian Institute. The painting was given to William Dudley Talley from Taylor himself, to solve a debt. It has remained in the Talley family all these years and has an estimate of $4,000-$8,000.

Zachary Taylor died in 1850, just ten months after assuming the Presidency after a bout with stomach cancer. He appears gaunt and thin in the portrait, not stout and robust as in previous portraits, a fact that gave rise to the belief that he was close to death during the sitting. The portrait is oval in the frame, with a square canvas size of 30 inches by 25 inches (minus frame).

Many of the other items in the auction are from a well-known estate in the Historic District of Decatur, Alabama. There are also many large and impressive items from a magnificent estate just south of Baton Rouge, La.; as well as select pieces from other from prominent estates in Aberdeen, Miss; Memphis, Tenn.; Columbus, Miss.; Lexington, Ky. and the Mississippi Delta.

Each of these estates contain beautiful antiques and pieces of Southern finery that include handmade Persian rugs, premier artworks from the 19th century to the present day, antique lighting, porcelain, cast iron garden items, primitives, bronze statues, antique mirrors, china, half and full tester beds, clocks, statuary and hundreds of other items too numerous to list.

Period furniture will be highlighted by a magnificent, heavily carved R. J. Horner dining table with carved band and figural angels for support and three 20-inch leaves (est. $7,000-$10,000); companion to that a heavily carved set of 12 dining chairs, two of them arm chairs, in excellent condition with paisley upholstery (est. $4,000-$8,000); and a pierce carved Meeks side chair in the Henry Ford pattern with laminated black and yellow velvet upholstery (est. $400-$800).

There are three very old oil on canvas religious pre-Crucifixion scenes of Jesus, all measuring 86 inches by 59 inches and each expected to sell for $5,000-$10,000. One depicts Jesus being judged before being placed on the cross; another is a scene of Jesus being carried into temple by Roman soldiers to be judged by a priest; and the third depicts Jesus being nailed to the cross by three peasants and two Roman soldiers. All three works are in antique gold gilded frames.

Wonderful decorative accessories are plentiful, to include a pair of early wood blackamoors, electrified and restored, with beautiful gold gilt paint, each one 81 ½ inches tall (est. $5,000-$10,000); a gorgeous, heavily carved rococo wall mirror in a gold gilded frame, 70 inches tall by 49 inches wide (est. $2,000-$4,000); and a colorful handmade Persian rug, signed in multiple places and measuring a palace-sized 9 feet 7 inches by 12 feet 10 inches (est. $1,500-$2,500).

A four-piece solid mahogany bedroom suite consisting of a full-size high-back bed with carved headboard, a dresser, washstand and chest is expected to bring $3,500-$4,500; while a mahogany plantation full tester bed with a carved headboard and pierce carved gallery around the top, 103 inches tall by 71 ½ inches long by 63 inches wide, carries a pre-sale estimate of $4,000-$8,000.

Lamps and lighting will feature a magnificent 35-light bronze chandelier with gold gilt and crystal prisms, 39 inches tall by 44 inches wide (est. $2,500-$5,000); a large, bronze 35-light chandelier with cut crystal prisms, 42 inches tall by 54 inches wide (est. $2,000-$4,000); a bronze porch light with etched glass globes, much like the ones seen in the White House in Washington, D.C., 39 inches tall (est. $1,500-$3,000); and a lovely Gone With the Wind lamp with maroon shades and hand-painted white and pink flowers, 28 inches tall (est. $400-$800).

New pictures are continually being added to the Stevens website (www.stevensauction.com), so interested parties are encouraged to check back often for new additions and further information.

Terms of payment are all major credit cards or pre-approved business or personal checks (with proper ID), or wire transfer. A 15 percent buyer’s premium will be applied to all purchases, with an extra 3 percent processing fee for credit cards. A sales tax will be charged as well, except for those bidders with a valid state resale number. Light refreshments will be served on auction day.

Items Signed by Many Famous Names in Human History will be Auctioned May 15th by University Archives

An 1864 autograph endorsement signed by President Abraham Lincoln celebrating hard work; a 1981 speech draft extensively annotated by President Ronald Reagan relating to Reaganomics; and a Type 3 Apollo XI insurance cover boldly signed by all three crew members of the first moon-walking NASA mission postmarked July 16, 1969 are just a few of the expected top lots in University Archives’ online-only auction slated for Wednesday, May 15.

The Rare Signed Autographs, Manuscripts, Books & Memorabilia auction will start at 10:30 am Eastern time. All 433 lots in the catalog are up for viewing and bidding now – on the University Archives website – www.UniversityArchives.com – as well as the platforms Invaluable.com, Auctionzip.com and LiveAuctioneers.com. Telephone and absentee bids will also be accepted.

“Our May auction contains over 430 lots of unique and outstanding historical items, including many from U.S. Presidents and First Ladies – from James Madison to Joe Biden and Frances Cleveland to Laura Bush,” said John Reznikoff, the president and owner of University Archives.

He added, “Many of the presidential lots relate to Ronald Reagan and range from hand-inscribed speech drafts, autograph notes signed, and endorsements, to signed photos and personally owned books, tableware, silverware, and decorative arts. Other collecting categories include Aviation, Space & Exploration, Science, Civil Rights, Early America, Entertainment, Sports and Military.”

Lot 81 is the autograph endorsement signed by Abraham Lincoln dated August 15, 1864, in part: “I am always for the man who wishes to work.” The endorsement is believed to be associated with a now-missing recommendation letter addressed to military authorities at a Washington, D.C. cavalry depot. Since many horse-wranglers at Giesboro Point were freedmen, it’s possible the unknown jobseeker was a freed slave (est. $18,000-$24,000).

Lot 112 is the 10-page, partly typed speech draft extensively annotated by Ronald Reagan, with over 450 words in his hand, plus edits, cross-outs and arrows. Many of Reagan’s handwritten additions went directly into the final draft of his “Address Before a Joint Session of the Congress on the Program for Economic Recovery,” presented on April 28, 1981, in which Reagan outlined his ambitious plans to reduce taxes as part of Reaganomics (est. $12,000-$15,000).

Lot 180 is the Type 3 Apollo XI insurance cover signed by all three crew members of the first moon-walking NASA mission: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, postmarked July 16, 1969 from the Kennedy Space Center. It was the first time NASA introduced signed insurance covers to protect astronauts’ families against death or injury (est. $9,000-$12,000).

Lot 397 is a one-page autograph letter in German signed by Albert Einstein, dated September 29, 1937, and addressed to fellow physicist Cornelius Lanczos. The letter features about 200 words in Einstein’s hand as well as around six mathematical formulae including Rik = 0, Einstein’s second-most famous equation after his groundbreaking E = MC2. The letter underscores Einstein’s continued quest to crack the theory of general relativity (est. $25,000-$35,000).

Lot 414 is a rare color photogravure after Henry Sandham by Boussod, Valadon & Cie., circa 1896, depicting the 1894 Temple Cup baseball playoff game. The panoramic print gives people a view of the baseball diamond dotted with Baltimore Orioles and New York Giants, as well as the elegantly dressed spectators gathered at the New York Polo grounds (est. $6,000-$8,000).

Lot 237 is a two-page typed letter signed by Martin Luther King, Jr. on Dexter Avenue Baptist Church stationery dated November 13, 1958, following his near assassination. At the time, MLK, Jr. was trying to plan and budget for a 10-day side trip to the Soviet Union in order to observe firsthand Soviet attitudes towards people of color (est. $20,000-$30,000).

Lot 304 is a collection of 45 antique Japanese tsubas (or decorative sword guards), collected by a lifetime connoisseur. The tsubas vary in age, material and subject matter, providing a nice cross-section of wonderful examples. Lovely artistic representations in applied gold and silver include monkeys, cranes, and other characters from Japanese myths and legends (est. $20,000-$30,000).

Lot 282 is a hotel restaurant table decoration / promotional card for the Palm Terrace, Beverly Hills Hotel, boldly signed by Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio, circa summer 1952. The couple would wed two years later, in 1954. The autographed piece of ephemera is accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original collector, an 11-year-old boy (est. $15,000-$25,000).

Lot 251 is a splendid copperplate engraved broadside of the Declaration of Independence drawn by Benjamin Owen Tyler and printed by Peter Maverick, circa 1818. Tyler’s version is often considered “the first correct copy” of the Declaration of Independence, because previous printed versions featured a different title and often omitted the Signers’ names (est. $8,000-$10,000).

Lot 239 is a one-page typed letter signed by Malcolm X, dated August 27, 1958 and addressed to his wife, Betty, who was visiting Boston. Malcolm X urges his wife to socialize with “Sister Muhammad” (Clara Muhammad, the wife of Elijah Muhammad) and “Minister Louis” (Louis Farrakhan, who was then the head of the Boston Nation of Islam mosque) (est. $6,000-$8,000).

Lot 58 is a lovely assortment of women’s accessories personally worn by Jackie Kennedy during a 1960 presidential campaign “Time” magazine photo shoot. The lot consists of a pair of pale pink satin elbow-length gloves, along with a matching evening clutch and coin purse. The items were gifted by Ms. Kennedy to her personal secretary, Mary B. Gallagher (est. $6,000-$8,000).

Lot 267 is a display case featuring a coin silver teaspoon hand-crafted by celebrated colonial silversmith Paul Revere, and possibly presented to Alexander Hamilton. The teaspoon is suspended in a floating mount within a mirrored shadowbox that enables the viewer to see Revere’s maker’s mark and the monogram “A.H.” on the handle terminal (est. $3,500-$4,500).

The idea of you Movie Review

Solène Marchand (Anne Hathaway) lives in Silver Lake, Los Angeles with her 16-year-old daughter Izzy (Ella Rubin). She is separated from her husband Daniel (Reid Scott) and runs an art gallery. Solène is all set to turn 40 and is about to go on a solo camping trip. Daniel, meanwhile, plans to take Izzy and her friends to Coachella where Izzy’s former favourite band, August Moon, is set to perform. Sadly, Daniel has to rush due to a work emergency and hence, Solène is compelled to take the kids to Coachella. At the festival, she bumps into Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer at August Moon. She, however, doesn’t know who he is at first. Hayes is impressed by her and meets her again after the festival. Both fall in love. Hayes calls her at first to New York and later to the European leg of August Moon’s tour. A lovestruck Solène joins him. Soon, it leads to problems and rest of the film forms.

Review:
THE IDEA OF YOU is based on the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee. The story is beaten to death. Michael Showalter and Jennifer Westfeldt’s screenplay, however, is breezy and peppered with touching scenes. The dialogues are witty and a few of them have the potential to go viral.

Michael Showalter’s direction is neat. He uses the conventional light-hearted romance template to execute the tale and it works. The story is predictable and the director makes sure that the love story blossoms between the lead characters organically. The chemistry is lovely, which also helps. The conflict in the tale is about the evils of social media and paparazzi and it gives a nice touch.
Anne Hathaway is marvellous as a performer and looks out of the world. It’s unbelievable how her mere presence lifts the impact of several scenes. More importantly, her performance is very relatable, especially the manner in which she performs in scenes where her character gets trolled due to her age. Nicholas Galitzine is effortless and leaves a mark. Ella Rubin is fair; her scene with the mother after the camping is memorable. Reid Scott lends able support.

On the whole, THE IDEA OF YOU is a beautiful love story. Thanks to the light-hearted mood and Anne Hathaway’s casting, the film is expected to fetch a huge viewership.

Saat memutar gulungan, hasilnya akan ditentukan oleh urutan nomor acak perangkat lunak RNG yang dihasilkan berdasarkan nilai benih dan jumlah simbol di dalamnya; kemenangan akan terjadi ketika simbol yang identik berbaris di garis pembayaran.

Garis pembayaran

Garis pembayaran permainan slot adalah angka yang menentukan simbol mana yang dapat membentuk kombinasi atau urutan pemenang dan menentukan pembayaran dari setiap putaran. Mereka juga menentukan berapa banyak keuntungan yang dapat Anda harapkan pada setiap putaran; tergantung pada jenis permainannya, Anda mungkin memiliki beberapa garis pembayaran atau tidak sama sekali; beberapa slot dilengkapi dengan fitur khusus seperti fitur liar, pengganda, atau bonus yang menambah lapisan lain pada pengalaman bermain game mereka.

Seiring kemajuan teknologi, produsen mulai menambahkan lebih banyak jalur pembayaran. Tak lama kemudian, ada tiga dan lima garis, yang mencakup hampir setiap kombinasi simbol. Seiring dengan pesatnya perkembangan teknologi, produsen memperkenalkan garis pembayaran diagonal dan segala arah – memberikan pemain berbagai cara untuk menang sambil memberikan kemungkinan yang lebih besar dari sebelumnya! Untuk dihitung sebagai kombinasi pemenang pada garis pembayaran segala arah, kombinasi pemenang harus sejajar di seluruh gulungan agar hasil tersebut dihitung sebagai hasil kemenangan.

Putaran bonus

Permainan slot online menampilkan putaran bonus yang bervariasi dari satu permainan ke permainan lainnya, mulai dari putaran gratis dan jackpot, hingga fitur unik seperti mengkloning alam liar atau memperluas format yang meningkatkan peluang Anda untuk menang besar. Bonus diaktifkan ketika simbol tertentu muncul di gulungan – putaran gratis atau jackpot adalah beberapa contohnya – menambahkan sentuhan menarik pada gameplay dan memberikan kemenangan unik bagi pemain. Bonus ini dapat diaktifkan ketika kombinasi tertentu muncul, termasuk ketika kombinasi simbol tertentu mendarat di gulungan tersebut; kloning tambahan yang liar atau perluasan format meningkatkan peluang secara signifikan; putaran bonus terkadang juga menampilkan kloning liar yang meningkatkan peluang secara signifikan dan memperluas format yang sangat meningkatkan peluang menang besar.

Meskipun fitur-fitur ini mungkin menggiurkan, fitur-fitur ini dapat dengan cepat menjadi mahal jika tidak dikelola dengan hati-hati. Selalu bermain sesuai batas uang Anda dan bertanggung jawab. Berpegang teguh pada anggaran Anda dan tidak mengejar kemenangan besar adalah kunci untuk meraih kesuksesan saat berjudi.

Beberapa permainan slot memungkinkan pemain untuk mendapatkan akses langsung ke putaran bonus dengan membayar biaya tambahan, biasanya kelipatan dari total taruhan mereka. Namun, pendekatan ini dapat mengubah peluang keberhasilan Anda dan tidak cocok untuk setiap pemain – jika opsi ini membuat Anda penasaran, silakan baca aturan permainan dan tabel pembayaran sebelum mengambil langkah lebih jauh.

Dalam jangka panjang, slot dengan RTP lebih tinggi akan membayar lebih banyak uang dibandingkan slot dengan RTP rendah; namun, hal ini tidak selalu berarti kemenangan yang lebih besar pada setiap putaran – melainkan mencerminkan rata-rata pada sejumlah besar putaran.

Nye & Company will Host Two Online-Only Photography Auctions on Wednesday, May 15th, at 10 am EDT

Nye & Company Auctioneers will hold two online-only photography sales on Wednesday, May 15th, starting at 10 am Eastern time, with The Photographer’s Lens; A Collection of Images auction, featuring about 200 lots of contemporary photography from a private New York City and Ibiza, Spain collection; followed by a Various Owners Photographs auction at 2 pm Eastern, featuring over 100 lots of traditional and contemporary photography.

The single-owner Photographer’s Lens; A Collection of Images sale features a variety of contemporary photography from artists across the globe. The captured images will be sure to delight even the most seasoned and scrupulous collector, dealer and institution alike.

The auction includes several well-known and museum collected photographers from across Europe, South America and the Middle East – artists such as Tono Stano, William Ropp, Philippe Pache, Didier Ben LouLou, Valdir Cruz, Virgill Brill, Lynn Bianchi, Slim Aarons, Houshyar Kashani, Mario Cravo Neto, George Silk, Flip Schulke and John Rooney.

Highlights include works from the Brazilian artist Valdir Cruz. Gypsy Woman I and Girl from Mokarita are both striking images that seem to portray the heart and soul of the sitter. John Rooney, George Silk and Flip Schulke have all captured the magic of Muhammad Ali in their photographs. Somehow, they all managed to capture lightning in a bottle.

Israeli-born artist Didier Ben LouLou has managed to depict the people of Israel and illustrated some of the struggles they face and the hardship of the landscape. This is especially poignant relative to what has been happening as of recent. His use of the Fresson printing technique is incredibly rare and difficult.

Tono Stano, the Slovakian-born photographer, has masterfully portrayed the beauty and sculpture of the human body in his works. The interplay of light and shape create visually exciting images. The American photographer, Lynn Bianchi, also captures the human form within a more Classical context. Her use of the gelatin silver print with a gold wash serves to deliver a warm and almost retro look to her works.

The Various Owner Photographs sale has a nice mix of both traditional and contemporary photography. Artists represented in the sale include Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Roman Loranc, Tom Millea, Doris Salcedo, Jay DeFeo and others.

The Alfred Stieglitz picture is a portrait of famed painter Georgia O’Keeffe. This striking image captures the very essence and soul of the artist in a stoic photograph. Not to be outdone is a terrific photograph by the celebrated photographer Ansel Adams. His image of two skiers in the glades is a perfect balance of light, shadow and atmosphere.

Following in the footsteps of Adams, Roman Loranc’s Western style landscapes are visually stimulating and transformative. His use of gelatin silver prints is a time-honored tradition.

For more contemporary photographs, Doris Salcedo, Willie Cole and Jennifer Bolande are all represented with a variety of c-prints, inkjet and pigment prints. Salcedo does a masterful job of capturing the urban landscape of Istanbul in her series of works, while Willie Cole uses the c-print to capture his modern interpretations of objects.

Real time Internet bidding and absentee bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com, Bidsquare.com, BidSpirit.com and the Nye & Company website. Telephone bidding will also be available on a limited basis.
