Copley Press continues to shed assets. A.N. Abell Auction Co. of Los Angeles on Thursday (April 22) begins auctioning works of art that Copley Press collected through the years. The really expensive items from the former Copley Library are being separately auctioned in New York by Sotheby's. The first Sotheby's auction was April 14. Abell will auction works by Southern California artists including Rex Brandt, Emil Kosa, Roy Mason, and Eileen Whitaker. Many of the items are prints and watercolors. Also going on the block is a collection of newspaper broadsheets from before the Revolutionary War. Abell's Joe Baratta says the collection is worth $100,000 to $150,000. Helen Copley had original oils by some of the world's best-known artists hanging in her Foxhill home, but they will remain with David Copley, says Baratta.
