Austin Aqua Festival 1963,1964, 1957 Regatta Trophy. Selling all three with<br>provenance. These two Aqua fest Trophies will be the highlight of any Austin<br>Aqua Fest Collection. They are rare, one of a kind, the type of holy grail<br>collectibles that you don't even consider the existence of until you encounter<br>it. I'm including the 1957 trophy because it provides interesting provenance to<br>the two aqua fest trophies. They are all from the same estate and were won by<br>the Same man. I'm including a screenshot of his obituary. He was 40 when he won<br>the 1957 trophy, 46 for the '63, and 47 for the '64. Provenance is not something<br>usually considered with these types of collectibles, but it is interesting in<br>this case. I'm selling the lot for one price. If you're in Austin which the<br>future owner most likely will be, I've met locally to sell earlier skipper pins<br>and other rare Austin Memorabilia.<br><br>The Austin Aqua Festival was created in 1962 to promote Austin and the Texas<br>Highland Lakes as a top vacation area and to boost the local economy in what was<br>normally a slow period. The first Aqua Fest occurred Aug. 3-12, 1962. Art<br>Linkletter was the headliner for the event.<br><br>The festival offered many water related events such as a<br>150-mile canoe race, fishing contests, a sailingregatta and an illuminated night<br>time parade on the lake. There were many land based events also including the<br>Miss Austin Aqua Beauty contest, a twilight land parade, a<br>daytime military parade,<br>a rodeo, golf tournament, concerts, dances and fireworks.<br><br>Patrons of the fest could purchase a book of discount tickets to get into the<br>various venues. The tickets were called Skipper Script. The next year, the<br>script gave way to the Skipper Pin, which was purchased and pinned on the goers<br>clothing, letting the workers know that the wearer was eligible for discounts on<br>tickets.<br><br>The central location for many of the events was "Festival Beach," a small park<br>on Town Lake between the city-owned power plant and a residential neighborhood.<br>The city had originally created Town Lake as a cooling pond for the power plant.<br><br>In 1964, the festival added one of its most popular and controversial<br>events, drag boat racing on Town Lake. It also added a water<br>skiing championship, kite flying championship and an Austin Grand Prix - sports<br>car racing on city streets.<br><br>The 1966 Aqua Fest started out with the world premiere of Batman, with Adam<br>West and other actors from the movie in attendance. 1966 also saw the start of<br>the "Battle of the Bands", in which unknown rock and roll bands were judged for<br>awards and recognition. Battle of the Bands would become the festival's top<br>draw. The United States Air Force air demonstration squadron,<br>the Thunderbirds first performed at the Fest the same year.<br><br>By 1968, an estimated crowd of 150,000 watched the night lighted water parade,<br>which had been renamed to Rio Noche parade in 1964. The crowds were starting to<br>overwhelm Festival Beach causing traffic congestion, parking problems and<br>security concerns for the residents plus the noise of the events, especially the<br>drag boats. However, the mostly Hispanic community had very little political<br>clout to get anything changed.<br><br>Theme nightsEdit<br><br>Theme nights began in 1969. Various nights of the festival would highlight<br>different cultures of Texas. This first year there was<br>Western, German, Czech and Jazz and Rhythm and Blues nights. Throughout the<br>years the theme nights varied as new ones were tried and unpopular ones not<br>repeated. These included Mexican, Black Heritage, Italian, American and<br>International nights. Toward the end of the festival's life, the theme nights<br>had settled to multiple nights with Western and Mexican themes.<br><br>Aero-FestEdit<br><br>Also in 1969, Bergstrom Air Force Base, on the southeast edge of Austin, began<br>an open house in conjunction with Aqua Fest and titled it Aero-Fest. In addition<br>to the Thunderbirds performing, the gathering showed off many<br>military airplanes and other hardware. A crowd favorite was a C-5 Galaxy, which<br>visitors would walk through to get to the main display area. Aero-Fest was an<br>instant success and in just two years it was drawing 80,000 people to the base.<br>Aero-Fest ceased when the base closed in 1993.<br><br>1970–1979Edit<br><br>The new decade saw Aqua Fest's continued growth with the addition of more new<br>events such as a photography contest and motocross in 1971 and the Pet Parade in<br>1972. But the growth of the event brought confrontation with the neighborhoods<br>surrounding Festival Beach. Complaints had gone unheeded and people finally took<br>to the streets in protest. The anti-Fest coalition was led by Paul Hernandez and<br>a group calling itself the "Brown Berets." Protesters were arrested and they in<br>turn sued the City of Austin and Aqua Fest. By the end of the decade, the drag<br>boat races were gone from Town Lake and pressure was on to find a new location<br>to hold other Aqua Fest events.<br><br>1980–1989Edit<br><br>Due to continued protest and growing crowds, Aqua Fest was moved from Festival<br>Beach to Auditorium Shores, a larger park along Town Lake about a mile to the<br>west of Festival Beach. This larger area meant the festival could now have<br>multiple stages for entertainment. The festival organizers signed up corporate<br>sponsors and local radio stations to co-sponsor the entertainment and began<br>booking national acts.<br><br>The City of Austin, which had subsidized Aqua Fest in its early years, now<br>believed the Fest was self-sufficient and withdrew its financial support. The<br>city began charging the festival for use of Auditorium Shores.<br><br>In 1985, attendance at Aqua Fest peaked at 252,000. More criticism came at the<br>festival for lack of parking, excessive noise and alcohol abuse issues. This<br>time the rebuke was from residents of the Bouldin Creek neighborhood just south<br>of Auditorium Shores. The opponents of the festival were able to force a<br>non-binding referendum to move Aqua Fest to Lake Walter E. Long in far east<br>Austin. The measure passed but promised corporate support to build a new<br>facility went away as Texas entered an oil bust in the middle of the decade.<br>Aqua Fest stayed at Auditorium Shores.<br><br>1990–1998Edit<br><br>With its multiple stages for entertainment, Aqua Fest changed from a civic event<br>to a live music event. The organizers began to book bigger and bigger acts, even<br>paying premiums to get popular acts such as Dolly Parton in 1992. This drove<br>ticket prices up and attendance down. By 1993, the festival only drew 44,000<br>people and as a result lost $722,000. The festival organization exhausted its<br>cash reserves and asked its largest creditor, the City of Austin, for permission<br>to pay off its debt in annual installments.<br><br>In 1994, Aqua Fest returned to its roots with more local acts and an all<br>volunteer staff and in 1995 brought back the popular theme nights. They also<br>tried drag boat races again, this time at Lake Walter E. Long, but the races<br>drew little interest. It was all too little, too late and the Austin Aqua<br>Festival folded in 1998.

Austrian Cold Painted Bronze 3 Cats at Bowl. 2.5" wide x 1" tall, great piece from the first half of the 20th century with no damage and minimal wear to paint. I've seen this mold before with the Bergman mark, this one just has Austria mark so I'm not sure but it's his style and nice quality. Franz Bergman was an Austrian entrepreneur best known for his Viennese foundry which produced many patina- and cold-painted bronze sculptures of figures, animals, Orientalist scenes, and mythological creatures. Bergman is often misidentified as a sculptor, but he himself was not the original artist for the works—rather, he hired many anonymous sculptors to execute his ideas. He signed many of the works produced by his foundry with the pseudonym Nam Greb, so as to conceal his name from the authorities and avoid penalties for immorality. Born in 1861 in Vienna, Austria, he initially inherited a bronze factory from his father and later opened his own foundry. Bergman died in 1936 in Vienna, Austria figshelf

The photo is 8" x 10".<br><br>Andrew Sharp Peacock AC GCL (13 February 1939 – 16 April 2021) was an Australian<br>politician and diplomat. He served as a cabinet minister and went on to become<br>leader of the Liberal Party on two occasions (1983–1985 and 1989–1990), leading<br>the party to defeat at the 1984 and 1990 elections.<br><br>Peacock was born in Melbourne and attended Elsternwick Primary School and Scotch<br>College before studying law at the University of Melbourne. A former president<br>of the Young Liberals, he was elected to Parliament at the age of 27, filling<br>the blue-ribbon seat of Kooyong, vacated by Sir Robert Menzies. Peacock was<br>appointed to cabinet in 1969 by John Gorton and later served under William<br>McMahon and Malcolm Fraser. He held a variety of portfolios, most notably<br>serving as Minister for Foreign Affairs from 1975 to 1980. He unsuccessfully<br>challenged Fraser for the Liberal leadership in 1982, but was then elected as<br>Fraser's successor following the party's defeat at the 1983 election.<br><br>At the 1984 election, the Peacock-led Coalition slightly reduced the Labor<br>Party's majority.

However, his second term lasted less than a<br>year, as he resigned after another electoral defeat in 1990; he had won the<br>popular vote but failed to win enough seats.

Benny and Valerie Aldrich sterling intarsia inlay cross pendant. No issues, weight and measurements in pics. Nestled in the mountains of Durango, Colorado, Benny and Valerie Aldrich and their staff of four maintain a group purpose: operating in harmony and balance, to create expressions of perfection and love for themselves and others. Using the elements of the earth and sea, their works of art pass from hand to hand to create jewelry of unique heirlooms of uncompromised beauty. The Aldrichs style of intarsia inlay incorporates old world style combined with the new world of vivid colors and craftsmanship. From earth tones to extreme shimmer and sparkle, the jewelry reminds you of natures butterflies and humming birds. Valeries use of combining vivid colors and Bennys expertise of gold and silver-smithing is executed masterfully; framing them into wearable art that is unsurpassed. The Aldrichs were pioneers in incorporating faceted gemstones into southwestern style jewelry in the early 1970s. They were among the first to re-introduce spiney oyster and purple burro shell to the blooming industry. Their relationship with worldwide miners and importers is crucial to obtaining the magnificent colors they are famous for. This is a result of searching gem and mineral shows for over 45 years.

Bernard Dawahoya (1935-2011) Small Hopi overlay sterling belt buckle. Solid sterling, unmarked other than artists hallmark, weight and measurements in pics. Bernard Dawahoya (1935-2011) Master silversmith Bernard Dawahoya was born in 1935 in the Second Mesa village of Shungopavi. A member of the Snow Clan, his Hopi name is Masaqueva, which means “Wings of the Sun or “Little Sun. Bernard Dawahoya, was a master of many traditional Hopi arts, but focused on silversmithing since his teens and making jewelry since the 1950s. He learned from his uncles, Washington Talayumptewa and Sidney Sekakuku, and also took classes at the Hopi Silver Craft Cooperative Guild. Eventually, Bernard Dawahoya returned to Shungopavi and opened his own shop, and continued to exhibit at arts and craft shows. His masterful works are known for their precise matting (texturing) in negative spaces, heavyweight silver, crisp designs, and bold traditional symbols, such as Mudheads, Hopi Snake Dancer, Crow Mother, eagles, roadrunners and more; all reflect Hopi history, culture, and beliefs. Beyond his skills with silver overlay, jewelry boxes and bowls, he created textiles, paintings, Katsina dolls, and leatherwork. He also recorded traditional Hopi dance songs in 2004, and was known as a prolific storyteller, regaling admirers with the stories behind his designs. His works are included in the collection at Harvard Universitys Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology as well as at other museums from California to New York and many private collections. In 1998 he was designated an Arizona Living Treasure and enjoyed that distinction until his passing in 2011.

No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn‘t an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I‘ve seen thousands of pieces xrf‘d to prove this. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women‘s wrist.

He<br>was orphaned at a very young age and brought up by his sisters. In order to make<br>a day-to-day living he started selling his drawings, and later, paintings. This<br>brought him to the attention of a wealthy sponsor, who enabled him to attend a<br>private art school, which in turn helped to develop his style and technique.<br><br>Molokeng is an unusual and dynamic personality who enjoys and excels in all<br>forms of creativity. He composes and performs his own songs, enjoying enormous<br>popularity under the stage name of “Billy Africa”.<br> <br><br>Style and Format<br><br>Versatility, dynamism and inventiveness have kept Billy Molokeng’s work fresh<br>and ever changing, ensuring that both he and his art do not become stereotyped.<br>This is demonstrated by the fact that his work was initially typically<br>“township” in character, but developed into his own more unique style in later<br>years.<br><br>His early paintings portray scenes taken directly from life in the townships.<br>The compositions of these early works are dense and on a single plane, usually<br>with several figures depicted in a bold and heavy manner. His individuality and<br>originality, however, is still strongly evident. His figures are lively and<br>filled with movement, containing a subtle humour, underlying joy and<br>light-heartedness which so many art lovers relate to, and enjoy.<br><br>During the 1970s and 1980s, this South African artist’s work became more<br>sophisticated, both technically and conceptually, representing a more mature<br>artist at work. Molokeng’s work started to move away from direct township<br>depictions towards a fusion of the urban experience with African motifs and<br>culture.<br><br>Compositionally, his African art became lighter and began to incorporate more of<br>the figurative and abstract than the literal. Many of his paintings began to<br>display a more sketchy landscape background, containing forms such as huts,<br>missionary churches, ox wagons, oxen and human figures in tribal and rural dress<br>partaking in traditional customs.<br><br>Towards the end of the 1970’s, a calligraphic element within his work began to<br>emerge. This, together with the Bushman-like figures that started to populate<br>his township art, gave his work a potent African flavour that still exists to<br>this day, and makes Billy Molokeng’s work so appealing to South Africans and<br>foreigners alike.<br><br>In the 1980’s Molokeng’s work witnessed further developments, resulting in a<br>more refined technique and style. Township life, once again, became important<br>subject matter, although it was rendered in a more personal manner and blended<br>with the African landscape. The landscape element of this newer work is more<br>solid and is rendered as an integral part of the more abstract compositions and<br>forms. Influenced by life and politics within the townships during the most<br>volatile period of South African history, Molokeng’s work began to demonstrate<br>strength and a sensitivity that were to remain an intrinsic part of his work.<br> <br><br>Exhibitions<br><br>Molokeng had his first exhibition at Dorkey House, Eloff Street, Johannesburg.<br>In 1974 he participated in several group exhibitions – at the Canadian Embassy,<br>Gallery 101, Lidchi Art Gallery and at the Herbert Evans Art Gallery,<br>Johannesburg. In 1976, he participated in the Second International Art Fair in<br>Tel Aviv, Israel. This was followed by a one-man show in Germany in 1979. The<br>next year (1980), he took part in group shows in Athens and in Rome and<br>subsequently had a one-man show at the Lidchi Art Gallery in Johannesburg. In<br>1981, Billy Molokeng was awarded one of the three prizes for painting at the<br>Republic Art Festival.<br><br>Molokeng has also been featured in a group exhibition at the World Bank offices<br>in Washington, U.S.A. along with other artists chosen from Cameroon, Ghana, Mali<br>and Nigeria.<br><br>Currently, Billy Molokeng presents a strong sense of “Africa” within his<br>paintings. Their potency and appeal lie in his bold use of colour, his strong<br>compositions and his unique use of his medium. The acrylic and oils are used as<br>an overlay, which is often scratched away to create different textures and<br>layers, as well as expose various underlying colours. His use of black<br>strengthens and enhances the burnt sienna, ocher, gold, greens and blues as well<br>as emphasizing his trademark white and black eyes of his figures.<br><br>Billy Molokeng’s South African artworks are appreciated by thousands and are<br>part of many private and public collections both in South Africa and abroad.
