Speaking of fakes & mysteries, everyone knows about the artwork (Robert Rauschenberg, David Novros, John Chamberlain, Claes Oldenburg, Forrest Myers and Andy Warhol) that was smuggled aboard the lunar lander on Apollo 12? The number of copies of the little ceramic art piece is subject to some debate. As it happens, the Waldhauer's live next door to us, and I'm pretty sure that there were actually a couple dozen copies made, and I've seen a few of them that the Waldhauers kept for their own art collection.

Someone decided to capitalize on the movie. Some of it is his Apollo 11 stuff going for a good premium, but not at the level of $70 for a 1mm square...

NASA has to remove some kind of panels on the command module for forensic purposes. I am not sure what they covered, but they were cut up and given to certain members of the team the worked on that part of the capsule. A collector purchased the sample from the estate and has cut it up into 1mm sq bits, mounted them and is selling them for $70. If the original sample was 10 cm square, he is gonna make $700K off of this.-- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com |
