| Greetings, Collectors! And welcome to our Summer, 2006 auction of Hollywood memorabilia! We’re very excited about our current offering, and we’re sure you will be, too. This is one of the largest and most diverse auctions we’ve ever assembled, featuring wonderful artifacts from nearly every genre of entertainment memorabilia – and some exciting new and unique collections, as well. From the classic 1949 film written by King Kong’s Merian C. Cooper, we are pleased to present an original Mighty Joe Young armature, designed by Willis O’Brien and animated for the film by Ray Harryhausen. This is truly an incredible piece and a milestone in visual effects technology, which pushed stop-motion filmmaking to an entirely new level. This is the most important armature ever brought to public auction, and one of the finest filmmaking artifacts a collector could ever hope to own. In addition to Mighty Joe, we’re thrilled to offer the single most important matte painting ever put up on the auction block – the original production matte painting of the rural Kansas country road from The Wizard of Oz, from the opening scene of the film where Dorothy and Toto make their first appearance. And for the very first time, we’re offering a collection of original NASA-made model rockets from the 1960s and 1970s that have been on display at NASA facilities around the world. This is one of the largest collections in existence, and represents some of the best rocket- and space vehicle-designs that American scientists produced during the race for space, and ultimately, the moon. We hope you’ll enjoy our latest offering! And please remember that we’re always interested in your future consignments, for those that wish to pass ownership of their treasured pieces of Hollywood memorabilia on to new caretakers. Thank you for participating, and good luck! Joseph Maddalena and the PIH staff |
