A collection of items belonging to the late David Lynch are to be placed up for auction in June.
Overseen by Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies, The David Lynch Collection takes in more than 450 items belonging to the director. Among the memorabilia set to be sold are Lynch’s director’s chair, the Black Lodge curtain and rug from the Twin Peaks set, his personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, and various props from Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks: The Return.
Announcing the auction, Catherine Williamson, the managing director of entertainment at Julien’s Auctions, said: “Julien’s and TCM are honoured to represent and offer to the public for the first time this incredible collection of one of the greatest and most revered filmmakers of all time, David Lynch. These historical and cherished pieces reflecting David Lynch’s singular artistic vision, as well as his passions and pursuits ranging from his director’s chair [and] espresso machine to his guitar, record collections and Twin Peaks-style decor, come directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams.”
The auction takes place in-person in Gardena, California on June 18, and will also run online alongside the physical auction.
