#Urbino, #Italy

…the place where #DiegoVoci™ published a series of prints handmade on special #lithostones in #1979, financed by Naffouj #Gallery.

Dr. Jawdat Naffouj, owner of Naffouj Gallery in Altstadt of Landstuhl, Germany.

During a live interview (2012) in Landstuhl, #Germany with Jawdat Naffouj of Naffouj Gallery, Jawdat shared with DiegoVoci™ #Art #Historian Coop Coorider, delivery slips for the Lithographs from Urbino, Italy. These lithographs are first edition signed by DiegoVoci™.

Jawdat Naffouj was not only instrumental to DiegoVoci™’s growth as an #artist but also a catalyst for influencing Diego to change his signature (from D.Voci to DIEGO).

THE #GOLD RUSH OF ’49

Fortune was there 165 years ago for those who searched.

Another opportunity exists today!! Over 3,000 more artworks by the internationally collected artist Antonio DIEGO Voci (VOH-chee) are waiting to be discovered. They could be anywhere. The original owners who hoarded them for decades are dead or getting closer. The dozens of Diego oil paintings that each collector owned are suddenly appearing in the strangest places, and at unbelievably low prices. Here is an example of two hidden gems wonderfully rendered, found online at a local #Goodwill auction site.

The new owner, Ron Brack Jr. wrote; “I purchased them from the online Goodwill auction in Tacoma, Wash., I paid $10.00 for the pair. The first painting is labeled D-108929. Diego. Mann mit Müte. The second painting is marked D-108928. Diego. Mann mit Bart. This is not written on the paintings themselves but on a cardboard holding the paintings in the frames. The dimensions are 5 1/16″ x 7″ for both, and that is out of the frame.”

Before you begin your search;

Many of the prospectors for gold were shocked to find their new found metal was “fool’s gold”, not the real thing.

To recognize the real thing in a Diego artwork examine his style and his signatures. Mostly Diego. But in earlier works it could be A.Voci, D.Voci, or just Voci.

#DIEGOVOCI SIGNATURE TRANSITION

Although everyone called him “Diego” in 1960 he signed Antonio Voci, as in the previous blog containing his registration in #Paris https://diegovociproject.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/paris-forced-diegovoci-to-register-to-save-helgas-health/ to stay by Helga’s side as she recovered in the Paris Hospital.

Notice the signature on the painting below “D.Voci”, part of the transition from “A. Voci”.  Both would vary on Diego’s art until 1965 when he used “Diego” signature for the last 20 years of his life.

Here is a sample of the Moroccan paintings referred to in Helga’s biography https://diegovociproject.wordpress.com/2015/08/19/helga-in-a-paris-bistro/ in the previous blog.

This painting is believed to have been found in a warehouse.
