WELCOME to our last catalog auction of 2023. It has been a very exciting year for us here at Van Eaton Galleries, from our move to a larger location to the spectacular Joel Magee Auction. We thank all of you for your support and patronage.
This month’s auction contains a wide range of items spanning Popular Culture, the Disney Studio, and Disney Parks. I want to thank all the consignors who have placed their beloved collectibles in our hands. My hope is that they all find new homes and are enjoyed by their new owners for years to come. Be sure to browse the catalog carefully. There are a lot of hidden gems in this sale including spectacular Costume Designs and Props from some of our favorite Hollywood Films to amazing Disney Park artifacts, including stunning original artwork by Disney Legends Charles Boyer and Herb Ryman. Although this is our last catalog auction, our year is not done. Keep an eye out for our December 2nd online-only auction. It is a great opportunity to find that lastminute holiday gift for your favorite collector (or for you!). 2024 is just around the corner. The auction schedule for the year is being finalized as we speak and includes a January online auction, the second Auction of The Joel Magee Collection and a very special auction featuring the estate of legendary animator Bob Clampett. 2024 also marks the 30th Anniversary of Van Eaton Galleries. We hope that you will be able to join us as we mark that milestone throughout the year. Once again, it has been a pleasure working with all the consignors for this auction. I hope you will enjoy this catalog as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you.

VAN EATON GALLERIES PRESENTS
The Golden Age of Hollywood is truly “the stuff that dreams are made of.” Our concepts of glamour, fame, and celebrity grew out of the film industry in Southern California in the 1910s. The Big 5 Studios – MGM, Paramount, Fox, Warner Brothers & RKO – controlled the film industry from production through distribution, owning the theaters across country where audiences found their films. This is the era when pioneers of the silver screen like Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford became screen idols, virtually worshipped by their adoring public. Each Studio had their stable of bankable stars, who virtually guaranteed success at the box office. It was during this time that film grew into a true American art form, telling complex stories like Citizen Kane (1941) and presenting amazing escapes into fantasy like The Wizard of Oz (1939).

A New Wave of American cinema began in the mid-1960s as a fresh generation of filmmakers came of age. When television stole audiences in the 1950s, films became dominated by lavish musicals and historical epics that took full advantage of large screens and improved sound, but audiences still dwindled. The collapse of the Motion Picture Code in 1966 and the new MPAA rating system in 1968 paved the way for a new style of cinema. Bonnie and Clyde (1967) was a defining film of this movement, reaching audiences with a combination of graphic violence, humor, and glamorous but disaffected youth. Portable cameras with incorporated sound recording also fueled an explosion of independent, low-budget production. Adding the development of fantastic special effects in the 1970s as typified by Star Wars (1977), modern cinema was light years away from Hollywood’s Golden era in style, substance, and scope.

In 1977 Star Wars was truly a cinematic achievement like none seen before, but George Lucas did find inspiration in the films he loved as a youth.

Kermit Love (1916-2008) began his theatrical career acting in summer stock and regional theater productions, and by the age of 19 found work as a marionette maker at a Newark, New Jersey theater in 1935. With a long and illustrious career as a costume designer for Broadway and ballet, he remains best known for his puppetry. He first teamed up with Jim Henson in the early 1960s – long after Henson’s coincidentally named Kermit the Frog was created - and decades of collaboration followed. Love is credited with the original design for Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus, and contributed to the design and build of eminent characters Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and many more. Kermit Love went on to work on The Muppet Show and Muppet movies, but Sesame Street was always known as his particular domain. He remained active as a freelancer, building the Snuggle the Bear puppet for Snuggle fabric softener, as well as other projects for television and stage. We are honored to present these puppet creations of Kermit Love and his Great Jones Studio.

THE POP CULTURE AUCTION
With the overwhelming success of Snow White, Walt planned on expanding animation, and moving the Studio to a larger, brand-new campus in Burbank. The success of his next three animated features, “Pinocchio,” “Fantasia,” and “Bambi”, were impacted by the United States involvement in World War II. The Studio was virtually conscripted into a period of creating educational films and propaganda for the military. The struggle to earn revenue during this time saw Walt taking new risks to keep the Studio alive. After the war Disney produced several “package films” – feature length films that were collections of animated shorts, and cheaper to produce. It would not be until 1950’s “Cinderella” that Disney truly returned to the full-length animated storytelling they had perfected.

The 1960s found Walt’s attention turning away from animation and towards both liveaction production and the prospect of another Disney theme park. Woolie Reitherman stepped up to produce the animated features – a credit only held by Walt before – and the xerographic process for cel production offset the rising cost of animation production. Mary Poppins took full advantage of the Studio’s expertise in animation, live-action, and the Sherman Brothers song-writing talent – to garner five Oscar wins. Sadly, Walt passed away on December 15, 1966, and the 1960s closed with the Studio facing uncertain times ahead.

They dubbed him “The Good Duck Artist,” but in time he was revealed to be Carl Barks.

The stories are printed in their original English, and where possible, using the original film used to print.

The auctioneer may in his absolute discretion re-open the bidding immediately after closing a lot to accept any bid in error not previously recognized. 20. Good Faith Bidding: Auctioneer reserves the right to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid. All bids must be made in good faith. A bid is not made in good faith, if it is made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, a minor, or if made in excess of any applicable credit limit. 21. Lots: All lots will be sold in numerical order (unless a lot is re-offered) and will not be broken. Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close of the entire auction, any lot. 22. Rescission of Sale of Lot: Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale of any lot in the event of non-payment, disputed ownership, clerical error, clerical omission in exercising bids and reserves, or for any other reason in the auctioneer’s sole and absolute discretion. 23. Lots Sold After Auction: In some cases lots will be sold after the auction. The Terms and Conditions apply to those sales as well. 24. Payment in Dollars: All sales are strictly for cash; and payment must be made in United States Dollars. 25. Amount of Payment: All deliveries, and transfers of title, are subject to the full payment of all monies due for the lot, including the payment of the separate Buyer's Premium. The Buyer's Premium shall be 18% of the highest successful recognized bid for inperson, phone, or absentee bidding; 21% for bids placed through internet platforms. Auctioneer retains the Buyer's Premium as its own property. 26. Payment Terms: Payment is due upon the closing of the auction sessions, or upon presentation of an invoice. If payment in full is not received within (7) calendar days after the close of the auction, or within (5) calendar days of the invoice date, whichever is later, the auctioneer may in its sole and absolute discretion, void the sale. If the sale is voided for non-payment the successful bidder shall still owe the auctioneer its fees. Sales tax will be collected from any successful bidder unless the appropriate certificate is on file with the auctioneer at least five business days before the first date set for the auction. If the successful bidder choses to send an “echeck”, electronic funds transfer, or ACH payment, and it does not clear, the bidder authorizes the auctioneer to use the credit card on file. If payment is not made the auctioneer reserves the right to sell the lot to any under-bidder or in any future auction; any difference in the realized proceeds shall be the responsibility of the non-paying successful first bidder.

Pick Up, Shipping, and Insurance Concerns: It is the Buyer's responsibility to pick up the lot being purchased, or make arrangements at his own cost, for packing, shipping, and handling. It is the Buyer's duty and obligation to insure the lot from the date that title transfers to the successful Bidder, i.e., upon the receipt of full payment by the Auctioneer (the "TRANSFER DATE"). Risk of loss passes to the Buyer on the TRANSFER DATE. Delivery costs and insurance during delivery are the responsibility of the Buyer. Frames are sold as-is. Auctioneer is not responsible for damage to a framed item during shipment. Such breakage shall not be the basis for return for any lot. All items must be shipped, or will be held for pick-up at a time when deemed permissible by local regulations pertaining to the Covid-19 virus. 28. Interest: Any unpaid invoice will bear interest at the highest rate allowed by California law. 29. Attorney’s Fees: In the event that it in necessary for the auctioneer to employ an attorney the successful Bidder agrees to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. 30. Security Interest Granted: The successful Bidder grants a security interest in the lot being sold to secure the payment of the invoice. The successful bidder grants a possessory lien as well to the auctioneer. Auctioneer shall have the rights granted under Article 9 of the California Commercial Code including but not limited to the right of sale. 31. No Warranties: NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY DESCRIPTION IN THE CATALOGUE OR ON THE DAY OF AUCTION. Descriptions are only being presented for the benefit of those bidders who have not had the opportunity to view the lots prior to bidding and no description in the catalogue shall create any warranty. Color variations are to be expected and are not the basis for any return of any lot. Auctioneer is only selling the right, title, and interest of any lot that has been consigned to the Auctioneer by virtue of any consignment agreements. The Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of fitness or merchantability. 32. Disclaimer of Damages; Sole Remedies: Auctioneer disclaims any damages, consequential or otherwise. Auctioneer shall not be responsible for consequential damages, incidental damages, compensatory damages, or any other damages. Up to the date that the auctioneer pays the consignor (45 days after the close of the auction sessions), and in the event that Auctioneer cannot deliver a lot, or if it is established that the lot lacks title, or some other transfer or condition issue is claimed, the sole remedy of the Bidder up to a date six months after the close of the auction sessions shall be the rescission of the sale and the refund of any amount paid by the Buyer. After the consignor is paid by the auctioneer the sole remedy of the Buyer is against the consignor, and vice versa. 33. Statements are Opinions: In consideration of participation in the auction, and the placing of a bid, Bidder expressly releases auctioneer, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, outside experts, and attorneys the (”RELEASEES”) from any and all claims, causes of action, in law or in equity, direct or indirect, known or unknown that he/she/it may have with respect to the auction, the catalogue, the conduct of the auction, or the lots being purchased. By not complying with the terms of this Release, Bidder waives any and all claims against the RELEASEES. A bidder or buyer acknowledges that there is a risk that subsequent to the execution of this Agreement, one or more of them will discover facts or will discover, suffer, or incur claims and/or damages relating to the subject matter of this release, which were unknown or unanticipated at the time of the auction, which, if known on that date may have materially affected their respective decisions to give the herein release. Despite this knowledge and understanding, each bidder and buyer agrees that it is assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated facts and claims, and in connection herewith, each hereby expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which section has been explained to and is understood by each party and which reads as follows: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” 34: Arbitration: By placing a bid in the auction, a Bidder agrees to the dispute resolution set forth herein. All disputes shall be arbitrated by the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles County, California. Costs shall be split equally among all parties. This replaces the right to go to court, including the right to a jury trial. 35. Prohibited Activities: Any agreement between consignors and bidders to sell by private sale any lot, or to effect a non-sale of an item at auction is prohibited and auctioneer reserves the right to collect from the bidder the Buyer’s Premium. 36.
