More than 400 many personal effects in the collection of the late David Lynch, the idiosyncratic and extremely influential filmmaker who died in Januarylaunch auction.
The auctions have already opened a wide variety of items for the sale organized by Specialists of souvenirs based in Los Angeles Julien * sIn conjunction with Turner Classic Films. The very individual style of Lynch is very obvious in many proposed artifacts, which include home furniture, cameras and recording equipment, as well as relics of his film career.
For example, Twin Peaks fans, the revolutionary television series of Lynch, can be interested in a certain number of coffee machines, a “log lady” ceramic cup decorated with a handful in false rounds, talks-walks sporting the name of Lynch and that of the co-creator of Twin Peaks Mark Frost, a pair of deer heads and Red and a pattern carpet, evoking the famous pair of deer heads, and a red carpet and a pattern carpet, evoking the famous Rug Set Set Set Set The Feary Set Set Set Set Set Set Set The Feary Set Set Set Set Set Set Set The Fame The Fame Set “Red Room” dream sequence.
The Sale also Includes Items from Lynch’s Films, Including Prop Menus from Winkie’s Diner (“There’s Always Hot Coffee !!”) That featured in a key scene in the 2001 Movie Mulholland Drive, Prop Matchbooks from the 2006 Film Inland Empire, Lynch’s Own 35mm Print of Eraserhead (Along with the Aforementioned Set of 10 VHS Tapes of the Movie), and a vintage microphone and bakelite phone installed in the Lynch office while doing the Dune Space Fantasy 1984.
Perhaps more interest in cinema researchers and academics are scripts and production equipment for two of the famous unfinished projects of Lynch: Ronnie Rocket and the dream of cattle. The first, a story of a surrealist detective, was planned by Lynch in the late 1970s as a follow -up of Eraserhead, but despite his return several times, he could not take it off. The cattle dream was a project Lynch wrote in the mid-90s with Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with me co-author Robert Engels, about “Three Guys, who was cows”, in which Lynch hoped to launch Harry Dean Stanton and Marlon Brando. (The latter would have told Lynch that it was “pretentious bullshit”.)
There are also evidence of the interests of Lynch far from the making of films, with several electric guitars for sale, including a spectacular console with five custom necks, built by Danny Ferrington at the Lynch design. Lynch was a committed musician, completing two studio albums, Crazy Clown Time in 2011 and The Big Dream in 2013, as well as collaborating on recordings with Angelo Badalameti, Dean Hurley and Lee “Scratch” Perry.
The sale was witness to the fact that Lynch was also a designer of distinction furniture, with a substantial quantity of available electrical tools, including jet sanders, drills and table saws. His domestic tastes are also apparent, with many furniture from creators of Eames, Knoll and other lights, as well as examples of his own listed work.
Lynch was also passionate about transcendental meditation practitioner, having discovered it in the early 1970s, and the sale included a incense burner he made in 1974, and a golden colored statuette.
Lynch revealed in 2024 That he had received an emphysema diagnosis following smoking and that he could not leave his house during the cocovated pandemic, which prompted him to abandon the habit. In a macabre key, the sale offers a selection of ashtrays and lighters, some probably used by Lynch at least once.
The sale ends on June 18.
