This is a lot of 6 beautiful original mixed media set/scene paintings (approx. 13" x 7" each) created for a theatrical production of the Lerner and Loewe musical Brigadoon. They are from the estate of well-known New York theatre costume designer and set designer Craig Clipper.

This is just a small portion of a large collection that we will be selling; the collection includes original paintings, drawings, and photos from Clipper's designs for many theatrical productions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Craig Clipper, well-known set and costume designer, worked on - in addition to many theatrical productions - the Rosie O'Donnell Show, the New York City Opera, and Buffalo's Arena Stage. He also designed the 1994 University production of Tennessee Williams' Orpheus Descending. We acquired much of his work (from the 1980s & 1990s) in the form of original paintings & drawings (watercolor, acrylic, gouache, pencil, ink, mixed media, etc.) for dozens of theater productions. There also are architectural drawings and elevations, behind-the-scenes notes, and other items handwritten on paper.

The productions in the collection include: The Tempest, Duke Bluebeard's Castle, Henry V, Kinkakuji, The Seagull, Benefactors, The Fishkin Touch, Major Barbara, Galileo, Hedda Gabler, The Grand Macabre, Mourning Becomes Electra, Brigadoon, Guys and Dolls, Beyond Therapy, Candida, Carousel, Oliver, The Marriage of Figaro, Taking Pictures, La Boheme, Salgar I, Three Sisters, Crimes of the Heart, Halcyon Days, Pump Boys & Dinettes, Uncle Vanya, and Don Giovanni. The items include original paintings & drawings of costumes & sets, photographs & slides (characters, sets, and live productions), playbills, program guides, architectural drawings & elevation plans, reviews & references, news reports, contracts for himself including things like theatre budgets, and lots of photocopies of his work.

Brigadoon: When American tourists Tommy and Jeff get lost on vacation in Scotland they stumble into Brigadoon, a mythical village in the Scottish Highlands that appears for only one day every 100 years. No outsider can stay in Brigadoon unless they fall in love, and no resident can ever leave or the village will vanish forever. But when Tommy falls for a village girl, he is forced to choose between returning to the world that he knows - or taking a chance on life and love in the mysterious Brigadoon.
