Description

The Frank Darabont Collection
Sale Date: Saturday, July 30, 2016 - 11:00 AM PST

A Very Significant Collection of Comic and Illustration Art, Movie Posters, and Sculpture from the Personal Collection of Legendary Director Frank Darabont is coming to Auction July 30, 2016 from Profiles in History.

Following the hugely successful sale of Frank Frazetta art from the collection of Dave Winiewicz, Profiles in History is delighted to announce their upcoming sale of comic and illustration art, including select works from the personal collection of legendary writer, director, and film producer Frank Darabont, to be held at our California gallery on Saturday, July 30, 2016.

The auction will be presented in two sessions. Session One, The Frank Darabont Collection, includes original works by master artists Bernie Wrightson, Mike Mignola, Sanjulian, Jack Davis, Will Eisner, Eric Powell, Bob Peak, Rich Corben, Vaughn Bode, bronzes by Ray Harryhausen, rare movie posters including the only known Frankenstein 1941 Italian 4-fogli, and more.

Session Two comprises a superb collection of vintage comic and illustration artwork including the finest original oil paintings by Frank Frazetta ever offered at auction, a wealth of works by �The Studio� artists Bernie Wrightson, Mike Kaluta, Jeffery Jones, and Barry Windsor-Smith, as well as Spider-Man art by John Romita, a Golden Age cover by Jack Kirby, horror and fantasy art by Richard Corben, an important work by John Buscema, among many other pieces by notable masters of the comic medium. Most of these works have been hidden away in private collections for decades, and this sale represents the first and likely only chance to obtain them.

A set of (2) spectacular 10.5 x 14.5 in. limited edition coffee table catalogs is available now for $95 including domestic shipping. Both are beautifully illustrated with original high resolution scans on archival matte paper revealing exceptional detail, technique, and vivid color in the artwork as never seen before. Additionally, the Auction 86 catalog features a personal introduction written by Frank Darabont. (A very limited version of the catalog bookplate-signed by Frank Darabont is also available).

�...here�s one thing I always knew: This amazing art wouldn�t be mine forever. It couldn�t be. We don�t own these things. We can only be their caretakers for a time, enjoying them as much as possible until inevitably they must pass on to the next caretaker. For me, that time has come. I won�t lie to you and say that parting with these things is easy. Trust me, it really, really isn�t. But the time for everything passes, and so has my position as caretaker. I will be ever grateful for the joy these wonderful pieces of art have brought me. I can only hope that they will bring their next caretakers (and all caretakers after that, ad infinitum) equal or greater joy.� � Frank Darabont, from introduction to The Frank Darabont Collection catalog
