Marsha E. Malinowski
With over 26 years of experience as Senior Vice President in charge of manuscripts at Sotheby’s, Marsha is president of
Marsha Malinowski Fine Books and Manuscripts LLC, which offers appraisal, advisory and media
services to private clients,
corporations, media and institutions. Profiles in History is pleased to announce Marsha is our Senior Consultant in charge of
our Books and Manuscripts auctions. Marsha has been involved with some of the most extraordinary sales of manuscripts in
auction history. From the sale of Magna Carta for over $21 million to being in charge of the groundbreaking sale of baseball
memorabilia from the collection of Barry Halper, which fetched in excess of $24 million, Marsha’s
expertise and range of
experience is unparalleled. Single-handedly, Marsha carved out the collecting field of artists’ letters. She has brought to the
market stunning collections, which have included letters by Michelangelo, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Magritte, Monet, Toulouse-
Lautrec and Giacometti, to name just a few. From history to literature — a letter by Catherine
of Aragon while imprisoned,
to a Sherlock Holmes manuscript story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; from science to music — Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
manuscript to a cache of Chopin letters, Marsha’s depth of knowledge in all fields of manuscript collecting is second to none.
Marsha has a B.A. from Wellesley College and her M.A. from Brown University. Both institutions have served her well. Her
knowledge of history coupled with her language skills has put her at the top of her field.
Joseph M. Maddalena
A lifetime member of the Manuscript Society, Joe Maddalena is widely recognized as the nation’s
leading authority on
historical documents. Maddalena won a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1991 for paying a then-record
price at public auction for a handwritten letter of Abraham Lincoln dated January 8, 1863, regarding his issuance of the
Emancipation Proclamation, for $748,000. Maddalena sits on the boards of various private foundations, and
has built a
permanent display of historical documents at the Beverly Hills Public Library and another at the Portland Oregon Historical
Society to further the public’s awareness of U.S. history. His expertise is well known and relied on. In 1997, Maddalena
was instrumental in exposing the Lex Cusak $13 million dollar JFK/Marilyn Monroe forgery hoax, and was interviewed
by Peter Jennings of 20/20 as the industry expert. In February 2009, Maddalena worked with the Library of Congress
to stage and secure manuscripts for “With Malice Toward None: The Abraham
Lincoln Exhibition,” the most successful
exhibition in its history, celebrating the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birthday. The exhibition ran from February through
May 2009, after which it traveled to five U.S. cities. Founded in 1986, Profiles in History has bought and sold some of the
most important manuscripts in existence for its clients. Early
in his career, Joe had the pleasure to work with and be trained
by noted autograph expert Charles Hamilton, and then later by Chuck Sachs of the Scriptorium. Maddalena states, “After
three decades of being a full-time dealer of manuscripts and rare books for our worldwide clientele, I have decided to
pursue auction as the best way to bring wonderful materials on a regular basis to market as we have done in other fields of
collecting.”
