Usually larger than a typical antiques shop, these establishments are actually more like an antiques show. Made up of dozens of small dealers, each offering merchandise reflecting their own tastes and interests. These “mini” shops, offer something for everyone. From “starter collectibles”, to decorative objects, art, antique furniture and fine antiques, they have it all.

One of my favorite places to stop is Vine Street Antiques. The owner, Rusty, has assembled an outstanding group of about 60 dealers.

Atkinson Fox (1860-1935) by Michael Ivankovich Fox was perhaps the most prolific illustrator of the early 20th century. Although he was well known as an Illustrator of Cows, Fox’s artistic ability extended from his Maxfield Parrish-style Enchanted Girls to Animals, Gardens, Historical Figures, Landscapes, Mother’s & Children, Native Americans, and much more. Fox worked for a a diverse assortment of calendar companies and publishers that he often published his work over nearly 25 different pseudonyms, just so his clients could give the illusion that they were dealing with a broad stable of artists rather than only R Atkinson Fox. Although many of Fox’s works are signed “R Atkinson Fox”, many were left unsigned and, because so much confusion surrounds some of the pseudonyms that he used, many prints are simply referred to as “Fox-Maybes” because even the country’s most serious collectors are uncertain whether they are Fox’s work with a 100% degree of certainty. R. Atkinson Fox...The “Fox Hunt” Continues

Relatively little was known about the early 20th c. artist R. Atkinson Fox until the early 1980’s. Led by Rita Mortenson (who authored the 7-part “Fox Hunt” series) and a small group of Fox collectors, a considerable body of knowledge came forth by the mid 1980’s on the work and background of this versatile artist.

Born Robert Atkinson Fox on December 11, 1860 in Toronto, Canada, Fox studied in Canada and Europe prior to arriving in America. He eventually went on to become one of the early 20th century’s most popular, most diverse, and most reproduced artists of his time, with his work appearing as art prints, calendars, advertising pieces, ink blotters, candy and handkerchief boxes, jewelry boxes, magazine covers, children’s books, newspaper inserts, postcards, thermometers, and a myriad of other forms.

Once considered the step-child of Maxfield Parrish collectors, Fox collecting has blossomed into one of the most interesting and challenging forms of any early 20th c. collectible. It’s true that many collectors gravitated to Fox collecting after the price level of Maxfield Parrish collectibles began to increase beyond the levels of many collectors. And it’s also true that R. Atkinsion Fox was at times called a “Parrish imitator” because of the similarities of many of his most popular works. Yet many other artists of the time also attempted to capitalize upon the idyllic and romantic style popularized by Maxfield Parrish in their attempt to give the public what they wanted.

However, few other artists of his time went on to provide the volume of work and diversity of subject matter as R. Atkinson Fox. What makes Fox collecting so interesting to so many collectors? Let’s narrow it down to five specific reasons before getting into the area of values.

#1...They Are Diverse and Attractive. During his lifetime Fox produced more than 1000 works of art. Rather than concentrating upon one or two specialty areas as did so many artists of his time, Fox was a generalist. He could paint basically any assignment given to him by a publisher, usually painting from a photograph or from memory. His subjects included enchanted gardens, landscapes, countryside’s, cottages, animals and pets (Fox was generally regarded as a leading painter of cows); lovely women, Indians and Indian maidens, the wild west, historical & contemporary themes, hunting & fishing scenes, adventure, ships, and much more. And it is this diverse subject matter that makes Fox prints so appealing to so many collectors. Some collectors collect anything Fox-related, others collect only specific categories. But for collectors who like the work of R. Atkinson Fox, there is a broad spectrum of prints to choose from.

#2...They are Fun and Challenging to Collect. Collecting most Fox prints is fairly easy because he signed many of his works R. Atkinson Fox or R.A. Fox. However, a considerable number of Fox prints are either untitled, unsigned, or signed with someone else’s name. These typically fall within 4 categories. a) Pseudonyms. Occasionally Fox produced works which he felt weren’t up to his personal standards. More often, he was directed to sign his work with a “pseudonym” by a publisher who wanted to present the image to potential clients that their company carried the works of a larger stable of artists than it actually did (at times Fox may have been the only artist in their employ). In all, Fox used more than 25 different pseudonyms, sometimes with a variation of his own name (R. Atkins); more often with a totally different name (John Colvin, Arthur DeForest, Dupre, Elmer Lewis, and Chas. Wainright just to name a few). Usually a Fox pseudonym is just as collectible as a Fox-signed print. b) Untitled Prints. Although Fox probably had a mental title for every work he created, apparently he failed to keep a master written list. And even if he titled a picture, that title was often changed by either the publisher who originally commissioned the work, or a subsequent user authorized by the publisher to re-use the print. Some prints were cropped differently, and other prints were used on multiple forms (art prints, calendars, advertising pieces, etc). Unless Fox collectors are 100% certain of the print’s title, it will be called an “Untitled” print. Signed-untitled Fox prints are as collectible as signed-titled Fox prints. c) Fox Maybe’s. Fox collecting can be so confusing at times that Fox collectors have established a category called “Fox Maybes”. Unless a picture thought to be a Fox can be confirmed with a 100% degree of certainty, it falls within the Fox Maybe category. As a general rule, Fox Maybe’s are not as valuable to Fox collectors as certified Fox prints. Continued on page 16 March 2008 • Page 8 the NEW CENTURY COLLECTOR • Sandy Antique Mall • 8672 So.

ANTIQUES SHOPS DODGE ANOTHER BULLET

The Utah State legislature was at it again this year. Representative Rebecca Lockhart submitted a bill (hb 192) which would in part remove the exemption of antiques shops from the Pawnshop and Secondhand Merchandise Transaction Information act passed last year. The bill would have required that antiques shops fingerprint and retain records regarding sellers from which they purchase merchandise.

We can all thank local antiques shop owners for their tireless work in helping to keep the industry free from over burden- some regulations. Many shop owners attended the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee meeting to voice their opposition to the bill, and were successful in getting substitute legislation (hb 192 substitute) retaining antiques shops previous exemption.

Hopefully Representative Lockhart will get the message, and this will not become an annual event.

SHOWTIME! by Dennis Barker

At Walters show, advertising is always a hit

Acorn’s show was loaded with interesting antiques

February brought us an unusual treat. Walter Larsen, and Acorn’s both brought us antiques shows on the same weekend. Luckily, since Walter opened on Friday, and the Acorn’s show opened Sat- urday, all of us hardcore collectors were able to at- tend both shows on opening day.

We were not disappointed. Both shows were teem- ing with antiques and collectibles. Dealers from Utah and across the west filled both events with antiques that would satisfy every taste. The shows were well attended, and dealers reported brisk sales. From the As always, Walter Larsens show novice offered many fine antiques shopper, to the most dis- cerning collector, there was something there for everyone. Those collectors who were able to at- tend both Both shows offered a wide variety shows of Merchansdise were able to enjoy a weekend full of antiques shopping not likely to be repeated.

Don’t forget that many of the fine dealers who showed their wares at these 2 shows have local shops which you can visit whenever the antiquing bug bites.
