The Heritage Auction Galleries website now offers the online catalog and listings for their upcoming event, “Signature Music & Entertainment Memorabilia Auction – Auction #7004”, to be held February 21-22, 2009 in Dallas, Texas.
Below is a link to the online catalog:
Heritage Auction Galleries “Signature Music & Entertainment Memorabilia Auction
The Heritage Music and Entertainment venue features entertainment and pop culture memorabilia which includes celebrity signed documents, vintage photographs of stars of stage and screen, and props and costumes from the world’s most celebrated productions. The division achieves national and international press before each and every auction. Each auction offers true entertainment treasures and is truly a collector’s paradise.
The selections definitely represent classic and vintage Hollywood film and television, rather than more contemporary productions, and of the 1,300 or so lots, it seems fairly evenly split between music and film & television, all under the broader “Entertainment” umbrella. However, there are only 49 wardrobe pieces and 26 props of the 723 items in the “Movie/TV Memorabilia” category.
There are four “Featured Items” in the auction related to film and television.
One was a Featured Item in the last auction in October 2008 (see OPB article) – Lot 49123 – Jack P. Pierce’s Scrapbook – it appears that the estimate has been lowered from $25,000 to $10,000, with a $5,000 opening bid.
Another Featured Items include:
- Lot 49174 – Nolan Miller’s Limited Edition Rolls-Royce Silver
- Lot 49179 – Marilyn Monroe’s Something’s Got to Give Promptbook (1961)
- Lot 49355 – Boris Karloff’s Heavily Annotated Script for The Lark
Heritage Auction Galleries has their own Internet bidding solution – Heritage Live – which includes live streaming audio and video.
