Tee & Rich Marvin welcoming you to the Noel Rockmore Project and sharing an exciting Auction Update coming up this weekend July 26 & 27 at the St. Charles Gallery Auction and another one on August 2nd at the New Orleans Auction Gallery. We are glad you are a part of this adventure. This is not our typical newsletter (which you can see at The Noel Rockmore Project website by clicking on the link) but we have been gone awhile and we wanted to let you know why. 

 

Our Rockmore adventure was sadly interrupted from April to June as Shirley Marvin's son and Rich's brother Michael Marvin suddenly took ill and passed away on May 13th at the age of 60. It was a long emotional period but enlightening and inspiring as well.  

 

It has been a slow climb back onto the Rockmore trail but we just returned from 12 days documenting over 400 Rockmores on the road in Louisiana and Florida with Shirley Marvin with us. We will be headed to Atlanta, NYC, PA, Santa Fe, Tucson, Beverly Hills and San Francisco before the summer ends to document more.

 

You can bid online at these auctions and the St. Charles Gallery is a great opportunity for first time online bidders. All the Rockmores are estimated low so they will be sold. None are from Shirley Marvin's collection because Shirley does not wish to sell until Noel Rockmore is recognized as an American master. 

 

We will give you a preview of the Rockmores we have documented in our next (your first) newsletter and an update on the auction results from below. Many of you have expressed interest in getting in on the Rockmores and now is the perfect time. We promise within a year that the values and auction prices will keep increasing.
