    RReeaarr VViieeww MMiirrrroorr October 2009 / Volume 7 No. 2 “Pity the poor Historian!” – Denis Jenkinson H. Donald Capps Connecting the Dots Or, Mammas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Historians.... The Curious Case of the 1946 Season: An Inconvenient Championship It is practically impossible to kill a myth of this kind once it has become widespread and perhaps reprinted in other books all over the world. L.A. Jackets 1 Inspector Gregory: “Is there any point to which you wish to draw my attention?” Sherlock Holmes: “To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.” Inspector Gregory: “The dog did nothing in the night-time.” Sherlock Holmes: “That was the curious incident.” 2 The 1946 season of the American Automobile Association’s National Championship is something of “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma” as Winston Churchill remarked about Russia in 1939. What follows are some thoughts regarding that curious, inconvenient season and its fate in the hands of the revisionists. The curious incident regarding the 1946 season is that the national championship season as it was actually conducted that year seems to have vanished and has been replaced with something that is something of exercise in both semantics and rationalization. In 1946, the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association (AAA or Three-A) sanctioned six events which were run to the Contest Rules for national championship events: a minimum race distance of one hundred miles using a track at least one mile in length and for a specified minimum purse, a new requirement beginning with the 1946 season.

  • PRESS RELEASE Presents Top of The
    PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Presents Top of the Pop Live on artnet Auctions from February 18 through 27, 2014 Roy Lichtenstein Sweet Dreams Baby!, 1965 Screenprint 35.63 x 25.56 in. 90.5 x 64.9 cm. Signed and numbered Edition 49/200 Est. US$100,000-125,000 New York / Berlin, February 19, 2014—artnet Auctions is pleased to announce the highly anticipated Top of the Pop print sale, which features over 50 classic Pop prints by artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Indiana, Robert Rauschenberg, and Tom Wesselmann. This dazzling, curated selection of iconic Pop prints is perfect for both new and seasoned Pop Art collectors. Among the sale’s highlights is one of the most famous Pop prints of all time, Roy Lichtenstein’s 1965 Sweet Dreams Baby!, estimated at US$100,000 to 125,000. With its irreverent comic book character on the business end of a knock-out punch, Lichtenstein challenges the reigning Abstract Expressionist movement’s anti-figure aesthetic and emotional intensity, and instead finds inspiration in the popular press. Another Lichtenstein print in the sale, Foot and Hand (1964), estimated at US$15,000 to 20,000, also draws inspiration from a violent comic book image, this time of a boot stepping on a hand reaching for a pistol. The work shows the development of the artist’s visual shorthand, which would define his work for the next 33 years. The sale also features superb examples of Lichtenstein’s later work, including his portrait of Lady Liberty, I Love Liberty (1982), estimated at US$35,000 to 45,000, and The Oval Office (1992), estimated at US$40,000 to 45,000.

  • The Guy's Guide to Baltimore
    The Guy's Guide to Baltimore 101 Ways To Be A True Baltimorean! By Christina Breda Antoniades. Edited by Ken Iglehart. Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that you’ve mastered the Baltimore lexicon. You know that “far trucks” put out “fars” and that a “bulled aig” is something you eat. You know the best places to park for O’s games, where the speed traps are on I-83, and which streets have synchronized traffic lights. You know how to shell a steamed crab. You never, EVER attempt to go downy ocean on a Friday evening in the dead of summer. And, let’s face it, you get a little upset when your friends from D.C. call you a Baltimoro… well, you know. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you really know all it takes to be a true Baltimorean? ¶ Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 101 activities, quirky habits, and oddball pastimes, that, even if you only did half of them, would earn you certification as a true Baltimorean.

And if you’re new in town, the guide below will definitely help you to pass yourself off as a local. ¶ So, whether you’ve been here 60 days or 60 years, we’re sure you’ll find something new (or long forgotten) in the pages that follow.
