Schulman Art Retrospective Exhibit Silent Auction
The Dunn County Historical Society announces a Silent Auction of original
art to be held the last two weeks of the Schulman Art Retrospective Exhibit,
beginning on Sunday May 11, 2008. Bill and Shirley Schulman have generously
offered to sell 26 of their pieces on display in a silent auction. A portion
of the proceeds will directly benefit the Dunn County Historical Society and
the Rassbach Heritage Museum.
Opening bid prices of the selected pieces is 50 percent of the original
catalog price. For example, art work catalogue priced at $300 has an opening
bid of $150. Bidding ends at 1 p.m. on Saturday May 24, 2008. Rassbach
Heritage Museum staff will have forms available to make bids on the selected
pieces.
Bill's works are created in a variety of media including encaustic, oil,
drawing, collage, mixed media, print, and watercolor. Shirley's works are
primarily acrylic, but include watercolor and fiber collage. More
information about the exhibit can be found at

"The silent auction allows Shirley and I to help to support the Dunn County
Historical Society," stated Bill Schulman. "It also helps Shirley and I
reduce the number of art pieces as we transition from home owners to
apartment dwellers."
According to Roy Ostenso, president of the Society, "The exhibition has been
very well attended and has been a wonderful fundraiser for us. The silent
auction during the final two weeks is wonderful way to close the Schulman's
final exhibition."
Winning bids will be posted after 1 p.m. on Saturday. Winning bidders are
encouraged to pick up their art work by Sunday June 1, 2008.
