Nye & Company’s first priority is the safety of its clients and staff. It pledges to continue to deliver fine art and culture to its clients in a safe and socially distanced manner.

Bloomfield, NJ, USA, May 9, 2020 -- A late spring auction just after Memorial Day offers an eclectic mix of fine and decorative arts with a focus on modern art and traditional European and American furniture. The Estate Treasures Auction, Part 1 and 2, is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, May 27th and 28th by Nye & Company Auctioneers, online-only, starting both days at 10 am Eastern time.

Internet bidding will be provided by LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and the Nye & Company website (www.nyeandcompany.com).

“In accordance with the New Jersey State mandate, we cannot open our doors to the public,” said Andrew Holter of Nye & Company Auctioneers. “However, we plan to deliver clients a seamless online experience, where we will strive to deliver accurate condition reports and images for all the items we offering. We will be closely monitoring our This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. account, as well as the LiveAuctioneers and Invaluable platforms.”

The auction is headlined by two small, but choice, consignments of modern art. The first is a group of three Keith Haring subway drawings from the estate of a private collector who was heavily involved in New York City’s fashion and art worlds during the late ‘70s and ‘80s. The person lived, breathed and was wholly immersed in the downtown New York art scene.

“This collector is the only person who has owned the drawings being offered in the sale,” Mr. Holter remarked. “These iconic works are highly collectible and exude the blending of both pop art and street/graffiti art that Haring made so popular in 80s. These works have not been restored and remain in the same state as the day they were removed from the subway walls. This is a unique opportunity to acquire works from a collector that traveled in the same social and artistic circles as Keith Haring.”

The second consignment of modern art is equally as tantalizing: three Henry Moore plaster maquettes, also consigned by a private collector. “These particular sculptures were given directly from Moore to Martha Spencer, who worked at Perry Green, which was Moore’s atelier,” Mr. Holter said. “The maquettes passed from Spencer to her daughter and were acquired directly from Spencer’s daughter. Each piece is a unique work of art and were not cast. Moore’s modern interpretation of the female form is fluid, sensual and delightfully austere. These dynamic pieces are truly a symphony of curves.”

Continuing the theme of the modern aesthetic in the decorative arts is a wonderful Eero Saarinen tulip table being offered from a posh Park Avenue collection. Also included are a pair of Knoll “Wassily” chairs that were originally designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925.

Traditional decorative art enthusiasts will be delighted with a superb group of pieces being offered by the estate of William Hodgins, the highly regarded Boston-based interior designer. Hodgins was an Architectural Digest, AD100 decorator once described as “a beacon of American Classicism”. He learned his craft working as an assistant for the leading design firm of Sister Parish and Albert Hadley. He later went on to establish his own Rolodex of who’s-who clients, including Annette de la Renta’s three sisters, financier Felix Rohatyn, a couple of members of the Washington Post’s Graham family, Linda and Robert Taubman and a Saudi prince. His work has been published in Architectural Digest, House and Garden, Vogue, Town and Country and the New York Times.

Additional highlights include a Federal mahogany tall case clock by Aaron Willard of the Massachusetts clockmaking family. Tall, slender and nicely proportioned, the clock is sure to please all horological enthusiasts. Additionally, there are two New Jersey Federal tall case clocks. In particular, one hails from Monmouth County and is marked Elias Sayre. There is also a wonderful architectural Dutch influenced Kasten from New York. This piece has a superbly complex and extensive cornice that defines it as a statement piece.

For fans of the Bard of Avon – William Shakespeare – there is a tremendous amount of Shakespeare, theatrical and literary-related material being offered by the estate of a private Upper West Side, New York City collector. The group includes several busts and miniatures of Shakespeare. There is also a superb portrait miniature, after George Chinnery, of John Philip Kemble, the celebrated theatrical actor. Bidders are encouraged to check out the sale and not let the curtain fall without getting their bids in.

People can bid in absentia and online. An online preview will be held from May 14th through the 28th at www.nyeandcompany.com, www.liveauctioneers.com and www.invaluable.com.

Braintree, MA, May 7, 2020 -- Local Leads 365, a new, digitally fast and rich software platform was recently launched to help local service providers and merchants identify and reach potential customers more quickly. Developed by Gibbs Software Solutions, a company based in Braintree, Massachusetts, the new, robust application can deliver real estate transaction data for any town in Massachusetts.

The key advantage? Local Leads 365 provides new homeowner information the day after closing — not 1-12 months later, like many competitors. The leads are automatically delivered to the subscribers’ devices daily.

Additionally, the Local Leads 365 platform offers easy to customize templates for the merchant to entice the consumer via letters, post cards and flyers. And this activity can be seamlessly integrated into most Customer Relationship Management systems (CRMs). The software can also easily search for data based on “triggers”, such as homes with acreage exceeding 20,000 square feet or home values in excess of $500,000. This lets local service providers find and directly target specific customer types.

“We worked long and hard to create a platform that the small business owner or office manager could quickly adapt and use to generate new and lifelong customers,” noted Denver Gibbs, founder of Gibbs Software and Local Leads 365. “We have already received tremendous response from oil dealers, landscapers, painters, roofers, plumbers, electricians, home security, handymen, flooring, furniture stores, dental offices, financial planners, insurance brokers and auto service. The early adopters tell us that the platform is easy and fun to use and it instantly connects them with newcomers to the area in search of reliable resources.”

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the percentage of Americans that move every year equates to 14% of the population (or roughly 40 million). The average homeowner spent $9,081 last year on home services, according to HomeAdvisor. The costs broke down as follows: $7,560 on home improvements. $1,105 on home maintenance. By virtue of their new circumstances, new homeowners are the nation’s leading spenders.

Top Cat Kits Launches reviews, expert Advice and informative articles, library of articles, blogs, and guides, covers a broad range of topics related to cats such as their accessories, breeds, foods, grooming and so on

Virginia, USA., May 4, 2020 - Top Cat Kits Launches an all new website comprising all the information one need about raising a cat and ensuring their feline friend is happy and healthy. Newly launched website is complete with expert advice, informative articles, blogs, and guides, covers a broad range of topics related to cats such as their accessories, breeds, foods, grooming and so on.
 

The team at Top Cat Kits is going above and beyond the call of duty to bring all the information and guidance one need about raising a pet cat. All cat owners will agree that it’s easy to decide that they want to adopt a cat and bring it home; however, it can be a daunting task to ensure it remains healthy and fit, gets proper nutrition and grows up to be a happy pet. 

Cats are known to be moody animals. A cat’s routine is not as disciplined as that of a dog. On one hand,  dog will prompt for its meals and exercise, whereas on the other hand, cat will give  a tough time when it comes to feeding and exercising. Therefore, it’s of the utmost important to understand when and how to feed cat, how to make it exercise and ensure it remains fit; identify the best accessories cat lovers need to groom the cat and keep it entertained, and so on. And, that’s exactly what Team Top Cat Kits works on, round the clock.

The team at Top Cat Kits is headed by Sarah Jane, a writer, blogger and cat enthusiast. She is a mom to 4 beautiful cats (2 Persian, 1 Himalayan, and 1 American Shorthair) and they are her motivation behind starting the website. Her team comprises cat experts, cat enthusiasts, veterinarians and expert trainers. Currently, Sarah is also looking for guest bloggers to contribute their ideas and thoughts to broaden and strengthen her cat community.

“My cats are my world. I have learnt a lot about cats (breeds, nutrition, accessories and so on) over 5 years and want to share my knowledge and experiences with all cat owners around the world,” she says. “My friends and family call me the Cat Woman,” added Sarah in a humorous tone.
 

Visitors can access a wide variety of content related to cats. As a website visitor, one will find “Buying Guides,” “Informative Articles,” “Best Product Guides,” and so on.  Some of the most popular posts on the website include, “The Best Cat Treats of 2020,” “The Best Cat Carrier of 2020,” and “The Best Cat Trees in 2020.”
