Auction Details

<p>Profiles in History is pleased to announce our Spring 2002 sale of Hollywood memorabilia. This exceptional offering features a magnificent collection of art and personal momentos from some of Hollywood’s most important costume designers. Direct from the estate of <b>Walter Plunkett</b>, we present a suite of extraordinary design sketches – each beautiful works of art in their own right – from such landmark costume dramas as <i>Little Women</i> and <i>Gone With the Wind</i>, along with perhaps the greatest musical of all time, <i>Singin’ In the Rain</i>. And from the pen of eight-time Academy Award winner <b>Edith Head</b>, we have a fantastic selection of graceful costume sketches with trend-setting designs from <i>A Place in the Sun</i>, <i>Roman Holiday</i>, and <i>Sabrina</i>. We also have a very fine array of costume sketches from Howard Greer, Royer, and Elois Jenssen, many of them appearing at auction for the very first time. Of course, you’ll also find a wonderful sampling of props and set pieces from vintage silent films to today’s mega-budget action flicks.

<p>We hope you’ll discover something special in this latest offering. Thank you for participating, and good luck!
