This is a lot from the estate of well-known New York theatre costume designer and set designer Craig Clipper. This lot includes drawings from his designs for a theatrical production of the Lerner and Loewe musical Brigadoon. There are 13 set/scene pencil sketches, 10 additional set/architectural pencil sketches, and 5 large character drawings in pencil. SIZE: Most of the drawings are on 17" x 14" paper.

This is just one part of a large collection that we are selling.

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.

Most of the drawings had been folded but show little or no damage. All of this had been in folders and stored in a box away from the elements, so there is no water damage, mold, etc.
