Famous world known artist Schim Schimmel sent two limited edition artist proof prints directly to us to help with the auction. His comment was "For the auction, for doing what you do to help the world."
This print is called "Moondance". It is a collector's edition and is stamped and personally signed by Schim himself. This print is 59 of 60. This limited edition print has a hand made Certificate of Authenticity direct from Schim. The markup for his paintings are huge across seas especially in Japan. The price is quoted from Schim as being only a wholesale price. Their comment was this: ".... we just want you to get as much as possible for your rescue however whatever price you get from the pieces to help your cause then that will make us happy..." What a great person!

I have seen this print in person, and the picture on the site does not do it justice. It is signed and numbered and stamped limited edition. It is gorgeous!!
re: 1 - Schim Schimmel Limted Edition Artist Proof Print "Moondance" $600.00 WHOLESALE value
I notice it's described as both a painting and a print, it cannot be both in the strict sense. I'm assuming it's a print however because it's #59 0f 60. What size is it? Is it framed? And, is the bidder responsible for shipping charges?
re: 1 - Schim Schimmel Limted Edition Artist Proof Print "Moondance" $600.00 WHOLESALE value
Sorry, they are prints. Hand selected by Schim Schimmel himself for my auction. The dimensions of this print is approx 27" high by 34"long. I did take pictures myself of these items but Schim's guy Kirk sent me higher quality pictures to use for this. It is identical and stamped and personally signed by Schim before they were sent to me. No this one and the other one are not framed and shipping is at bidder's expense. If you would like to see my pictures of them, let me know and I can either post them here or email them to you. It was such a hard choice to decide which print I was keeping as they sent three. Two for the auction and one for myself. I got to choose the one of my choice. All valued at the same price. They are so incredibly beautiful you have no idea.

I would like to delete my bid if this is a print. Im sorry. If you find out by email that this is not a print and it is a serigraph then my bid can remain.
re: 1 - Schim Schimmel Limted Edition Artist Proof Print "Moondance" $600.00 WHOLESALE value
Ok...think I got the correct info now. I received an invoice via email from Kirk, Schim's left hand man regarding shipment and value of the pieces. Here is what it states and I hope this will clarify things:
"MoonDance Paper 23x30 AP59/60 wholesale value $600"
The whole picture measures 27high by 34long which includes the border. Here is my picture which I don't have nice camera so it don't do it justice:

Thanks ... and again anyone who is a serious bidder I will show the invoice that was given to me by SchimmelSmith. Any other questions please feel free to ask as I can call Kirk to confirm. Again, I am very sorry for any confusion as I am for one new at this and for two am not an art collector so I did not know there was so many versions. Thank God he sent me a personal invoice with the info and value.

re: 1 - Schim Schimmel Limted Edition Artist Proof Print "Moondance" $600.00 WHOLESALE value
Ok, just to be clear, these are still "prints" and not "paintings". An Artist Proof is a print pulled outside the normal run of prints and usually personally approved by the artist and numbered and signed. They are therefore much more desirable than the normal print run.
ADDITIONAL PROOFS FROM A PRINT RUN THAT CAN EITHER BE INCLUDED IN THE REGULAR EDITION OR PULLED FOR THE ARTISTS APPROVAL AND RETAINED FOR HIS PERSONAL USE. Artists proofs can be marked AP either with or without a number that denotes how many were run. Example AP or AP 1/50 OR AP I/L.

No I don't mind, thanks Dave. I am very sorry for the confusion but I am glad it is straight now. I will still email Kirk tomorrow to triple check and I will post on here his reply.

Well, I sent Kirk an email with links to these two threads asking him to read all the questions and verify the correct info and let me know so I can post it. So as soon as I hear from him I will let you know.

UPDATE:
Kirk sent me an email explaining the prints. He asked for me to include his letter in these posts. I hope this will clarify all questions:
Hi Kelly,
It was nice to talk to you.
Here is the info on each piece hope this helps;
"MoonDance" is one of Schim's earliest Serigraphs ever printed. He painted this piece in 1989. It was printed as a Serigraph on Paper at an image size of 23 x 30. The edition size is 395 plus proofs, this is one of Schim's personal artist proofs AP# 59/60.
"Mother Earth, Father Sky" One of Schim's more recognized pieces was painted in 1996 and is Sold Out. It was printed as a Giclee on Paper at an image size 24 x 29. The edition size is 300 plus proofs, this is one of Schim's pieces from his personal collection and numbered as HC# 21/50.
"Leap of Creation" focusing on one of Schim's favorite animals to paint, the White Tiger, painted in 2000. It was printed as a Giclee on Paper at an image size 24 x 24. The edition size is 395 plus proofs, This is one of Schim's pieces from his personal collection and numbered as 121/395.
Schim was very moved by Kelly's story and her efforts to protect her finned Friends. All three of these pieces came out of Schim's Personal collection of prints. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and A Certificate Cover which only accompanies his Private Collection pieces.
Thanks Kelly and let me know if you need anything.
take care
Kirk
