#GOODWILL AUCTIONS DIEGO VOCI PAINTING

Goodwill in DC just brought the hammer down on Diego’s “Man from Felde” at $686.  Another bargain!  People who know are buying from people who don’t know.  That won’t last long with the resuscitation of Diego’s life and artwork spreads on the internet.  #Google “Diego Voci”.

This Diego painting is from the same mid-sixties as the piece “Fisher People” donated to Goodwill in DC and auctioned a week earlier. See our WP post dated 27 May 2015.

SOLD $500 “FISHER PEOPLE” BY DIEGO VOCI

Helga Voci, widow of internationally collected artist Diego Voci said:

“Diego played cards with the Fishermen”

Diego specialized in portraying the common people.  Diego with Helga at his side would seek out places to purposely live among them.

Fisher People, #1591-9, 41” x 30” oil on canvas

This painting is one of the very first when the signature “Diego” was applied to his canvas.  How do we know?

1. Joy Gibson was a Canadian art dealer based in Zweibrucken, Germany. Her stamp is on the back of the canvas.
2. Joy was the one who influenced the artist to start signing “Diego” the nickname he was known by (formerly he signed some form of Voci as on the painting given to JFK in 1963 in Wiesbaden).
3. This was before Joy married Dr. Jawdat Naffouj and added his last name to hers. Naffouj Gallery remains to this day in Landstuhl, Germany.

Stay alert.  A Diego Voci painting may appear anywhere.  This one was donated to Goodwill and just auctioned at $500.
