Berks County Art at Auction

Short notice, but the Reading Public Museum will have 147 deaccessioned paintings at auction this coming Friday, October 28th, 2005. I'm bringing this up because a number of the artists represented in the lots are hard-to-find Berks County painters such as Ben Austrian, Frederick Spang, George Falk, Christopher Shearer and Francis Devlan - names I've run across often in Internet Land, always attached to a message saying, "I am looking for ..." The auction house, Pook & Pook, Inc., has thoughtfully provided an illustrated online catalogue for your viewing enjoyment - so please browse, enjoy and pass urgent word along to those folks who've been searching for some of these artists.
