Hundreds of David Lynch artifacts up for auction
By Dean Murray
A treasure trove of over 450 personal artifacts from the late filmmaker David Lynch is to be auctioned.
The event offers fans and collectors a rare opportunity to own pieces from the visionary director's five-decade career and personal life.
The collection spans Lynch's legendary work in film and television-including Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, and Blue Velvet-and features items from his home, studio, and woodshop.
Highlights include his iconic director's chair, a "Black Lodge" red curtain and zig-zag rug from Twin Peaks, his personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, a framed photograph from Twin Peaks: The Return, and prop menus from Mulholland Drive.
Personal items, including espresso machines and numerous cups, echo Lynch's personal love of a "damn fine cup of coffee", a line famously uttered by FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks.
"This incredible collection of one of the greatest and most revered filmmakers of all time… comes directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams," said Catherine Williamson, Managing Director of Entertainment at Julien's Auctions.
Lynch, who died in January at age 78, was hailed for his singular, surreal style and profound influence on modern cinema.
The Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) auction is online now and live on 18 June in Los Angeles.
