Mid-auction analysis - OMGs!, LOLs!, WTFs!, whatev....

Thanks!  Would love to visit at some point.

We'll leave the light on for you!

It so nice to see that this insert for The Wolf Man, coming up in July, has had NO restoration whatsoever. Small pinholes and crease marks have been left alone, leaving any restoration decisions (or not) up to the winning bidder. It's another beauty, imo. 

And i had never looked closely at the art on this. It's interesting how the art dept chose to use a colorized photo of Chaney's face and left hand, and place those on an artistically rendered furry upper torso.

Next week..@ Christies London


And Dolce Vita is ohhh

[erik1925]

Is the drum kit for auction, too?

 

And how are those posters attached to the wall, Rosa? Small push pins thru the linen border?

Could you tell?

[Mirosae]

Yes. It is for sale too.
It looked better but only few are on display. Others are by appointment only.😊

La Dolce Vita and Gilda are giving me the fever 

Meanwhile, Mr. Chaplin is giving me NIGHTMARES.  WTF??  haha

Yeah... there's something not quite right there with CC. And i wonder what film it is even for? Isn't Charlot french for Charles or Charlie?

There was another style, also done for Everest Films, which was also auctioned by Christie's London, last October. It went for $7018.00

French stock poster.. probably an undersized 1-panel as Gilda looks to be a 2-panel
also probably 1930s

OT but DAF related......it can fetch 600 if the box is perfect , this is pretty worn though.

nobody is turning $500 out of those for that guy, especially not on any cosnignment

Trying to get my eyes to decipher and focus on that long "descriptive" mono-paragraph made me woozy.

The POTO OS is up to $95K (and that's not including the BP).

I need to hit the lottery.... while there's still time...  


And the Casablanca insert is currently at $12K (plus the BP). It will be very interesting to see how this one does, compared to the last.

Ugh. .that insert is sooooooo ugly....ugh...
ay

[erik1925]

Agree... it deserves less than half a 

 

[Mirosae]

Quite right. It deserves to be taken and left in a place somewhere in London....out of sight.  Too ugly ...

[Mirosae]

Classic samurai. You cannot beat this. At least in my eyes. Perfect. And the film (pick your version) is a Treat.

[Crazy Vick]

Very nice Mirosae. Is it a US 1 sh?

I believe it's Italian

[110x75]

It is. Text is in italian. Those bastards knew how to make good posters.

[Mirosae]

Hah! Matias  the Argentine posters are not bad either!

@ crazy vick ...As these 2 smarty smartz Chris and Matias say ( the know..)...It is Italian and the big brother it is (huge size).

[erik1925]

I seem to recall seeing one of these 4F floating out 'n about there somewheres. 

[110x75]

Hah! Matias  the Argentine posters are not bad either!

Some of them are Rosa, but they mostly use the same art than the US originals, except some painted by local artists.
The italians not only made new art for most of foreign films, but had a bunch of formats, usually with different images. 4 foglio, 2 fogli, soggettone, locandina and (at least) 8 fotobustas. I have no idea if they got to hang all that paper in theaters...
