Welcome to our latest auction of Hollywood memorabilia. Over 1,200 unique pieces of Hollywood history are featured in this sale, from the silent era on through modern sci-fi, drama and action classics.

We begin the sale with a fantastic collection of fine art photography, featuring an incredible archive of Ernest A. Bachrach portraits of Katharine Hepburn. In addition, we are offering one of the most important collections of original camera negatives from the Golden Age of Hollywood to ever reach the auction block.
