El Segundo, CA, USA, December 8, 2020 -- A treasure trove of more than 750 pieces of memorabilia, props and costumes owned, worn and/or signed by stars like Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra – plus a massive archive of material from the late Debbie Reynolds and her son Todd Fisher – will all come up for bid in an Internet-only Hollywood Movie Props & Costumes Auction slated for Saturday, December 12th, by Premiere Props, starting at 11 am Pacific time.

Fans, bidders and collectors around the globe will be able to watch and participate in the auction in real time at HollywoodLiveAuctions.com and PremiereProps.com. An online show about the auction featuring guest Todd Fisher will be aired online. Internet bidding will be provided by the major platforms LiveAuctioneers.com and iCollector.com. Fans can also call to set up telephone bidding with a Premiere Props representative, at 310-322-PROP, or toll-free, at 888-761-PROP.

“I’m really excited about the incredible collection of diverse items and we are excited to be able to offer fans and collectors an incredible assortment of all eras of film memorabilia,” said Dan Levin of Premiere Props. “There’s something for everyone in this auction with items dating from Hollywood’s silent era forward, from the Queen Mary to Captain America and everything in between. It’s not every day you see rare collectibles from diverse personalities like Rob Zombie, James Bond, the group KISS, Black Panther and the celebrities already named, all in one sale.”

Several items are expected to compete for top lot of the auction. A few include the following:

- A hand-made, aluminum-based hero metal shield made exclusively for Captain America: the First Avenger (2011), accompanied by a letter from a crew member who worked on the movie. It is a major piece from a highly collectible franchise (est. $50,000-$60,000).

- An actual glove worn on-stage by Michael Jackson during his “Victory” tour. The large white “tux-style” glove is completely covered in crystals – front and back of the palm and all the fingers. The inside of the glove even has light sweat marks (est. $50,000-$60,000).

- A pair of “Renauld of France” green tinted sunglasses with metal frames worn by Elvis Presley while filming the movie Follow That Dream in 1962, when The King was just 26 years old. The lot includes photos of Presley wearing the glasses (est. $30,000-$40,000).

- An original Brachiosaurus long neck and head, a 12-foot-tall creature handcrafted by Stan Wilson Studios and featured at Universal Studios’ Jurassic Park Theme Park in Florida. An instant conversation-starter for a serious collector (est. $50,000-$70,000).

Other Michael Jackson collectibles include his signature black wool fedora hat with a black bow band, worn by the King of Pop and signed, “Love Michael Jackson” with “1998” written below (est. $6,000-$8,000); and his personally signed light brown suede jacket, worn at the 44th annual Grammy Awards, with a color Grammy logo and the date (Feb. 27, 2002) (est. $1,000-$2,000).

Other noteworthy Elvis items include his personally owned and worn leather and wool jacket from when he was 21 years old, size small, made in Italy by Kentfield and previously displayed at the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame (est. $6,000-$8,000); and the yellow and cream silk shirt Elvis wore in the movie King Creole in 1958 in New Orleans. The custom-made, long-sleeved shirt was also displayed at the Mississippi Musicians Hall of Fame (est. $4,000-$5,000).

The Frank Sinatra portion of the catalog will be highlighted by a collection of ten, never-before-seen photos from Sinatra’s 1951 wedding to actress Ava Gardner, along with their family members, taken by celebrated photographer Jules Schick. Also offered will be an original and authentic black and white publicity still of Sinatra, circa 1930s or ‘40s, signed “Best Wishes to Max, Sincerely, Frank” (est. $1,000-$3,000). Fittingly the auction falls on Sinatra’s birthday.

A leather jacket of the four original band members of KISS (Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss and Ace Frehley), featuring hand-painted pictures of each on the back and signed by all four, has an estimate of $3,000-$4,000. Also, a Black Panther character latex mask, a prototype mask designed to be worn by the film’s star, Chadwick Boseman, should fetch $5,000-$7,000.

The Debbie Reynold's archive collection was formed by Debbie Reynolds and her son Todd Fisher, who collected and preserved some of the best of Hollywood's costumes and props. They began their collection decades ago by purchasing collections from an MGM auction, 20th Century Props auctions, Christie's auctions, Planet Hollywood and numerous additional auctions.

Items from the Debbie Reynolds archive include these rare and highly collectible pieces:

- A half-sheet poster from the 1952 film Singing in the Rain, 29 ¾ inches by 32 ¾ inches, autographed by Reynolds and one of her co-stars, Donald O’Connor, paired with a piece of original wooden floor from the Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio (est. $2,000-$4,000).

- A stage-worn two-piece ensemble created by Bob Mackie for Reynolds’ 1976 Broadway musical, Debbie, at the Minskoff Theater; a gold sequin jumpsuit with rhinestone trim at the neckline and cuffs and long sleeveless coat of ostrich feathers (est. $5,000-$7,000).

- Autographed Star Wars posters from Carrie Fisher’s personal collection, to include a one-sheet poster from the original 1977 film, signed by Fisher, 27 inches by 41 inches, plus a piece of the wooden floor from the Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio (est. $1,500-$2,500).

Also offered will be other stage costumes custom-made by Bob Mackie, a costume from her “Ginger Rogers Tribute” show (with Donald O’Connor) and “Bicentennial” one-woman stage show in 1976, stage-worn and signed dance shoes from her Las Vegas show; original photos of Carrie, Debbie and Todd Fisher; and autographed prints of many of Ms. Reynolds’ MGM pals.

Rob Zombie collectibles will include a full-size spaceship and alien creature from the acclaimed filmmaker and musician’s music video Everyone’s F***ing in a UFO”. Other noteworthy items include a red velvet and wood rocking chair from the horror movie Annabelle, an original cabin sink and display case from the ocean liner Queen Mary from 1930 when it was built with support from Queen Elizabeth, and numerous collectible objects from many of the James Bond movies.

ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by Donny Barilla Beneath the Cloth hitting stores everywhere now.

Under and within the landscape of nature, Donny Barilla coats the palate of his metaphoric and imagist reach as he uses the tremble of his pen to wrangle upon the fever of his surroundings which flood and weave each page. Donny motions primarily as a poet and uses techniques such as he writes books of short stories and novellas and searches his creativity in multiple arenas fastened through thought provoking paints which slip from word to page to book. Keeping late hours which sometimes bleeds into the rising patterns of the sun, he works in his study keeping an espresso machine close at hand. Here, he allows the softened press of his discipline, awake and aware at each moment. Having placed ninety-four poems in journals and magazines, he also donated twenty-three books to libraries, academic and public.

Donny took first place in the Adelaide Literary Award Contest for Poetry and has placed on two other occasions. After building a construct of vowels and consonants, the words blend upon the page as he pays due respect to the motions of the English language and passions of poetic touch.

New Rochelle, NY, USA, December 3, 2020 -- The Mahlstedt Gallery, a leading brick and mortar and online fine art gallery in suburban Westchester County, New York, has entered into a collaboration with the famous Swiss art gallery Galerie Alexander E. Räber in Zurich, one that allows the Mahlstedt Gallery to represent a rare and extensive collection of limited-edition, bronze sculptures that are numbered by the renowned Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí (1904-1989). The Mahlstedt Gallery will fill orders for the sculptures from buyers across all of North America.

“It is our privilege to provide Dalí’s works to collectors, interior designers and art enthusiasts throughout North America,” said Oshi Rabin, founder and owner of the Mahlstedt Gallery and herself an artist. “Buyers can be certain that each work is one of a limited number created by one of history’s preeminent artists. These sculptures are limited editions; just 350 of each exist.”

A few of Salvador Dalí’s iconic sculptures available through the Mahlstedt Gallery include the following:

- Profile of Time, featuring Dalí’s iconic melting clock motif first seen in his famous painting The Persistence of Memory. The sculpture presents a watch whose face is highlighted with green patina and is liquefying from its perch on top of a tree branch.

- Adam and Eve, a work in which Dalí captures the moment Adam is deciding whether to take the apple from Eve. Between the two figures, the serpent expectantly looks to Adam while coiled in the shape of a heart. Dalí explores religion in many of his works.

- Two bronzes each boast a vibrant blue patina. The flamenco dancer depicted in Dalinian Dancer is surrounded by the swirling fabric of her blue dress. In Triumphant Angel, an angel throws its head back and trumpets its horn towards the sky.

In addition to the Dalí works, the Mahlstedt Gallery will also represent other renowned artists through the collaboration with Galerie Alexander E. Räber. They include Paul Wunderlich (German, 1927-2010), who was influenced heavily by Dalí’s work, and Bruno Bruni (Italian, b. 1935), whose work is influenced by Paul Wunderlich. Both artists have carved out successful careers of their own.

“Both of these talented and accomplished artists are largely unknown in North America,” Ms. Rabin said of Wunderlich and Bruni. “We are excited to introduce these masters of the Old World to emerging collectors of the New World. They provide a fine complement to the Dalís.”

Wunderlich’s sculptures were heavily influenced by Dalí’s work, as seen in A Game of Chess. The bronze chess set created by him features chess pieces in surreal human forms that are patinated black and gold. A tall chess table is made of walnut and myrtle. Optional to purchase are two leather chairs. The work was previously sold by the esteemed auction house Sotheby’s.

Bruno Bruni’s work often focuses on the nude female figure, as can be seen in his three bronze sculptures at the Mahlstedt Gallery. La Sorella, which translates to “the sister,” shows a woman seated on a diabase stone pedestal, hugging her legs with her head between her knees.

Zeus the Conqueror depicts a woman lying supine on the back of a bull. The scene calls to mind the Greek myth in which the god Zeus seduces Europa in the form of a bull. Venere Assoluta shows a woman standing on a diabase stone base, removing clothes from over her head.

Another artist represented by the Mahlstedt Gallery is the Italian-Swiss artist and athlete Alfredo Battistini (1953-2008). His sculpture titled Mondo Elefanti depicts a herd of elephants facing outward while forming a tight circle. The elephants stand inside of the top and bottom half of a solid sphere.

Buyers can visit the Mahlstedt Gallery at 415 Huguenot Street - New Rochelle, New York 10801 by appointment only. Their entire gallery can be viewed online and purchases can be made at www.art415ny.com. For more information, call 914-246-0526 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.
