Press Release Summary = As the Antiquities market becomes a haven for wealthy
investors, finding a reputable dealer with quality pieces becomes a necessity for
collectors

Press Release Body = New York, USA -- September 6, 2006 -- An Aug 20th article in
the Wall Street Journal mentioned that \"The heightened appreciation for art as an
investment is driven largely by rising prices at auctions.\" As prices continue to
climb, wealth managers have become bullish on the art and antiquities market for
their clients. With the increased value, the volume of quality pieces on the market
is diminishing, driving prices even higher. Over the past 5 years prices better
quality antiquities have doubled, leaving dealers scrambling to find new inventory.

Fine art & antiquities merchants such as Medusa-Art.com (http://www.medusa-art.com)
are working diligently to find new objects to fulfill the growing demand. \"We were
quite lucky to recently acquire a beautiful, rare, Roman Torso of a young God from
the 1st century AD, published in 1926 in the Hagop Kevorkian Collection of
Antiquities, founder of The Hagop Kevorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies at New
York University\" said Allan Anawati President of medusa-art.com \"Five years ago this
piece would have sold for around $25,000. In today's market, a piece of this quality
is evaluated at about $60,000-$80,000 and will probably continue to appreciate in
value as the demand for antiquities grows beyond the available inventory.\"
