KAGIN'S AUCTIONS INTRODUCES ARTIST SERIES CATALOG COVERS

Don Kagin, president of Kagin's Auctions announced through The E-Sylum that they have launched a specialArtist Series Catalog Cover.

"Inspired by the terrific feedback we received about the cover of our recent ANA World's Fair of MoneyAuction Catalog, we will be working with cover design contest winner, Chris Costello, to source artists'designs for our future auctions," offered Kagin.

Over 50 artists from around the world submitted over 135 designs to an independent panel composedof Ken Bressett, David Harper, Mary Lannin, Heidi Wastweet, and Barbara Gregory who picked thefinalists including Costello.

Costello, a graphic artist and illustrator, serves on the board of Trustees for the Cyrus Dallin Art Museumand is a United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Artist. He is credited with 15 designs that appearon American coins and medals.

"In this world of internet bidding, many collectors have eschewed receiving catalogs; some even sayingthat 'they just add to the clutter'. We thought it's time to re-emphasis the connection between art andnumismatics by making the auction catalog itself a collectable work of art," Don explained.

From now on, Kagin's Auctions catalogs will feature a unique artistic rendering incorporatingnumismatic imagery. "We will be awarding gold and silver coins to the top four design artists for eachcatalog.

"We hope in this way we can bring more artists and art enthusiasts to our field," concluded Kagin.

The next Kagin's auction will be September 15, 2017 in Santa Clara, California. The catalog is free to all E-Sylumreaders by contacting nina@Kagins.com or calling 888-852- 4467.
