Description

Printed and hand-illustrated Robert U. Taylor and Ralph McQuarrie vehicle designs and storyboards for Back to the Future: The Ride at Universal Orlando theme park. Based on the Back to the Future film series, the ride served as a mini-sequel to Back to the Future Part III. Legendary science-fiction concept artist Ralph McQuarrie, who most famously created concept art for the original Star Wars trilogy, worked with production designer and art director Robert U. Taylor (also known as Bob Taylor) on storyboards and concept art for the ride. The ride was at multiple Universal theme park locations and not just Orlando, although it first opened there. This was Universal's response to "Star Tours" at Disney.

This lot comes from the collection of special photographic effects artist Douglas Trumbull. It consists of three pages of hand-illustrated vehicle designs, including for the iconic DeLorean, rendered in graphite and ink on white and tracing paper by McQuarrie; four pages of hand-illustrated vehicle designs rendered in color ink by Taylor, three of which are signed by him; 14 pages of printed storyboards with inserted sections adhered with tape and gathered with a paperclip; one hand-illustrated storyboard; and one printed copy of hand-written storyboard descriptions. This lot exhibits minor wrinkling, discoloration, as well as staining from the paperclip. Dimensions: (largest) 8.5" x 14" (21.75 cm x 35.75 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 4,000
