Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

It's Time—For Autumn Majestic! With Peter Rioux
Q: What are the practical advantages of bidding by phone compared to being physically present in the room?
Phone bidding offers nearly equivalent access to the live room experience, with a guided, pressure-free process: you're walked through each lot's context, the operator communicates pacing, and they call you a few lots before your piece goes up to help ensure you don't miss it.
It's Time—For Autumn Majestic! With Peter Rioux
Q: So what sort of preparation should a bidder do if they're going to use the phone bidding service?
Sign up for the phone bidding service, review the lots in the catalog online or in gallery, identify your target price, and have a clear maximum as well as a safety bid; the team will manage bids up to that limit and confirm details by email.
Uncovering the Art and Enigma of James Fitzgerald with Susan Danly
Q: Why did he come back to Maine?
Danly notes that after his West Coast period and New York activity, Fitzgerald maintained East Coast connections and a market there; he eventually returned to Maine to reconnect with his roots and respond to the East Coast art market, while still keeping ties to West Coast influence.
The Glory of Old Glory: Historic American Flags with Flag Expert James Ferrigan
Q: What exactly is a vexillologist, and what do they do?
A vexillologist studies flags as a disciplined scholarly field, separate from history or heraldry, focusing on the design, history, manufacture, and usage of flags to understand their stories and significance.
History By The Numbers — The Rise and Fall of the Porcelain License Plate
Q: What sparked your interest in porcelain plates?
Eric Taylor explains that his initial exposure came through family and local swap meets, and the broad appeal grew as he learned about the plates' history and variety.
