| Patrick
Nagel (1945 – 1984) was an art world superstar whose images
are immediately identifiable. They seem to symbolize a certain
1980’s lifestyle. After his untimely death in 1984, his
publisher, Mirage, continued to issue posthumous serigraphs.
Big Time sales resulted - $21 million from 1984 – 1990,
and $2.5 mil from 1991 – 92. Such popularity naturally
lured the unscrupulous scammers, and there are ‘zillions’ of
counterfeit and knock-off prints out there to fool the unwary
consumer & appraiser. |
|
| Todd
Bingham, owner of Todd Bingham Fine Art, Escondido, was there
in the beginning of the Nagel phenomenon, working for a publisher
near Nagel’s publisher in Santa Monica, later for a gallery
in Century City that showed Nagel’s work, and finally as
a dealer & expert in Nagel prints. Todd assisted in the FBI’s
1991 investigation of the Nagel print fraud and Playboy Magazine
notes him as a leading Nagel authority.

will lead a presentation on how to recognize the real from the
faux Nagels, discuss the current market, and provide insight
into the fine print and Giclee market. Todd Bingham Fine Art
also publishes limited edition fine prints, representing several
exciting artists, and offers Sales Training seminars and publications
to the art world. You can find out more about Todd Bingham Fine

President's
Message
|
|
Greetings!
The Appraisal Profession demands extensive study, research, continuing
education, and the adoption of new tools and technologies as they emerge.
Our new Chapter web site, with periodic updates (including our monthly
San Diego Chapter Newsletter), as well as our election this month of
the San Diego Chapter Officers for the 2004-2005 term (this time via
the internet), proactively embrace new and tested technologies.
|
As difficult as
it may be to achieve professional excellence -- maintaining excellence
requires constant effort and self-discipline.
The professional appraisers who are accredited by the American
Society of Appraisers not only meet these challenges, but also
exceed professional expectations, by maintaining their enthusiastic
quest for knowledge – thereby maintaining their professional
edge, while also fulfilling ASA’s requirements for recertification
every five (5) years.
ASA San Diego Chapter members also enjoy the benefits of relevant
guest speaker presentations, as well as the opportunities to
network and to exchange insights at our monthly Chapter meetings.
It is noteworthy that San Diego Chapter members are very busy – not
only with the appraisal assignments that they take on – but
also with the dedicated efforts of serving as guest speakers
at the meetings of other organizations.
Need a break? Come join us at our May 18th monthly meeting!
I am looking forward to seeing you there!
Best Regards,
Paul Golubovs, MBA, ASA

The San Diego economy is looking up, according to my highly
informal survey of business activity as I roam around the
county. Antique dealers are moving material out the door
and looking for more ‘good stuff’ to sell. Karen’s
Consignments, a purveyor of high-end furniture and furnishings
in the secondary market, one of my favorite ‘barometers’ of
the economic climate, can’t keep the store filled,
things come in and go out so fast. The upscale Glorious Antiques,
the Humane Society’s “thrift” shop in La
Jolla, is doing brisk business. This is always a good sign!
I guess that families who have bought all the ‘zillion'
dollar new homes want to furnish them in style, but at a
discount from the retail new cost.
|
| The litigation and divorce appraisal
arena also seems thriving. When times are hard, these two appraisal
areas slow down – no one wants to spend the money on
the battle. But lately everyone seems to be working on someone
else’s lawsuit, so it must mean that the money is flowing
again. |
| I hope that you all benefit
as the economy brightens, bringing you good and interesting
work. Now is the time to polish your competitive edge by taking
some ASA education courses at Irvine, going to the ASA International
Conference in Kansas City, and attending our San Diego Chapter
monthly educational programs. I look forward to seeing you
at the May meeting. |

Website
Email Contacts
|
The website is a marketing tool for members, but if email
inquiries are not promptly handled by the member, it angers & frustrates
the individual inquirer. This results in a low opinion of the
ASA in the mind of the ignored party and reflects badly on
the entire membership. To date the following members have not
confirmed their email addresses.
Christopher R. Barclay, Brian J. Bergmark, Brian P. Brinig, Richard
S. Crockett, Jr., John F. Mulligan, & Aleemah Jagers
