never retire By 1956, when Phillips sold Presley's contract to RCA for $35,000, the rock 'n' roll craze had become a cultural phenomenon and a multimillion-dollar industry The Sun studio on Union Avenue in Memphis is now a tourist attraction "When I first heard Elvis, the essence of what I heard in his voice was such that I knew there might be a number of areas that we could go into," Phillips

Phillips was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986 The elder Phillips founded Sun Records in 1952 and helped launch the career of Presley, then a young singer who had moved from Tupelo, Miss "What there was a need for was a rhythm that had a very pronounced beat, a joyous sound and a quality that young people in particular could identify with," he said , Phillips worked as an announcer at radio stations in Alabama and Nashville, before settling in Memphis in 1945 In his later years, Phillips spent much of his time operating radio stations in Memphis and in Alabama His plan was to let artists who had no formal training play their music as they felt it, raw and full of life B I'm just using up somebody else's oxygen if I retire," he said in an Associated Press interview in 2000 He stayed out of the limelight except for some appearances at Presley-related events after Presley's death In the summer of 1953, Presley went to the Sun studio to record two songs for his mother's birthday But because the piece resembled several other known peasant woman paintings by van Gogh, he sent it last month to Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and asked experts there to examine it On Thursday, he said, he received a faxed letter from the museum stating the 16-inch by 14-inch picture was indeed the work of the Dutch master The hammer fell after only about five minutes The Japanese art house organizing Saturday's sale started the bidding at $41,700 after receiving word late Thursday that the piece was a van Gogh Shinwa President Yoichiro Kurata said Friday he originally didn't think the painting was the real thing Kurata said he was not sure when Nakagawa acquired the van Gogh It was painted around 1884 and is believed to have been restored twice in the 1950s, degrading its quality and value Shinwa Art Auction took the piece on consignment late last year from a Nakagawa family member The news made headlines across Japan and caught the attention of Toshio Nakamoto, owner of Wood One Museum of Art, a small collection in the village of Yoshiwa in rural Hiroshima prefecture Unknown Van Gogh Painting Sold in Tokyo Feb 8, 11:18 AM EST An unsigned painting initially valued at $83 was auctioned off Saturday for $550,000 after it was revealed to be a previously unknown work by Vincent van Gogh The oil painting, a dark profile of a frowning middle-aged peasant woman in a white bonnet, goes to the owner of a small Japanese art gallery Previously the Shinwa Art Auction had estimated the value at $83 According to Kurata, the Van Gogh Museum said X-ray tests showed it to be extensively painted over, obscuring much of van Gogh's original trademark brushwork The piece had been scheduled for the auction block as part of the private art collection of the Japanese modern artist Kazumasa Nakagawa, who died in 1991 It will be Wood One's first piece by the artist, said Hideo Ebihara, who led Nakamoto's bidding at the Tokyo auction |
