Auction Details

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.

We proudly offer an incredible selection of items that sprung from the mind of visionary filmmaker, Tim Burton, including stop-motion puppets and artifacts from The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, James and the Giant Peach, Sleepy Hollow and Mars Attack!

Also offered is an unprecedented selection of pieces from the collection of Academy Award-winning visual effects geniuses, Phil Tippet, Stan Winston and Richard Edlund featuring pieces from such landmark films as Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Terminator, Jurassic Park and Edward Scissorhands.
