Andy Warhol Original Signed Sketch, Velvet Underground & Nico Cover Redux. Andy Warhol was undeniably one of the cultural touchstones of the last half of the 20th century, whose impact in the visual arts was virtually without equal as the leader of the Pop-Art movement. To this day, his works are some of the most expensive ever sold in auction, and his Campbell Soup Cans and other silk-screens are some of the most recognizable works in the civilized world. Offered here is an original signed sketch rendered on craft paper measuring 9 x 8" almost square, evoking the record album art he created in 1966 for THE VELVET UNDERGROUND and NICO which he produced. The album cover was an image of a silk-screened yellow banana by Warhol against white, that could be "peeled" off revealing pink toned banana flesh underneath. At the time, a sensation, now a mint condition album can command several thousands of dollars.
So the idea of an original sketch and signature by Warhol, a tribute to that landmark album he himself created, is a rare and wonderful find. Would present beautifully properly matted and framed. Estimated Value $1,200 - 1,500

Howard Hughes, Rare Signed Program Book for HELL'S ANGELS ca. 1930. Howard Hughes (1905-1976) proved one of the most galvanizing figures of the 20th Century; business tycoon, entrepreneur, investor, aviator, aerospace engineer, inventor, filmmaker and philanthropist.

One of the great film and television director/producers of all time, Alfred Hitchcock was one of the most recognizable "brands" for the movie going public, not only because he would insert himself in the marketing of his films, but he would make a brief cameo in them, a tradition he maintained for decades. From his 1963 film THE BIRDS, here is a re-strike 8 x 10" photo from an early scene in the film of star, Tippi Hedren, in the dark suit entering the pet store, and director Hitchcock leaving with his actual pet terriers, Geoffrey and Stanley. The scene lasts only a few seconds but always good for a chuckle. Director Hitchcock has signed towards the bottom center of the photo to the right of Hedren's shoes in black pen. Photo and signature are in excellent condition. Estimated Value $500 - 700
