Back to the top1942 Academy Award brings $53,000+
 |
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Schlatter Collection will benefit the charitable foundations of Goldie Hawn and Barbara Sinatra, both close personal friends of Schlatter.
The Oscar in question, awarded to Richard Day in 1942 for Best Black and White Art Direction on This Above All, is one of the very last Academy Awards available to be resold. It led the way to the top of the event podium with an impressive $53,775 total, including Buyer's Premium.
The Academy's First Award for Best Documentary Feature, for 1947's Design for Death, was presented to executive producer Sid Rogell and producers Theron Warth and Richard O. Fleischer on March 20, 1948, at the 20th Oscars ceremony. Co-authored by Dr. Theodor S. Geisel (aka "Dr. Seuss") and his wife Helen Palmer Geisel, Design for Death was the commercial version of a 1945 U.S. Army training film that explored Japanese culture and the origins of that nation's involvement in World War II. It realized $33,460.
Pop music also proved a potent draw as always at the Heritage Music & Entertainment June event, with several important instruments leading the way, principal among which was an Elvis personally-owned and used guitar topping the music offerings with a final tally of $26,290 and bringing along with it a touching story of Elvis's talent and generosity.
Two other pieces of unique Elvis memorabilia also made their way into the Top 10 lots in the auction:
A silk shirt worn by The King in the 1970s and gifted to an aunt, realized $10,160, and a modernist turquoise and opalescent stone ring work by Elvis, with a provenance from the Dick Clark Collection -realized $6,570.
