Just back from New York after the auction of film posters at Bonhams - the Ira Resnick Collection sold extremely well, realising a total of nearly $600,000. The star lot was the rare one-sheet poster for the Rudolph Valentino classic 'The Son of The Sheik' (1926) which more that doubled its high estimate selling for $75,000. The never before seen one-sheet for Charlie Chaplin's short film 'By The Sea' (1915) sold for $37,500 and the glorious 'Gold Diggers of 1933' (1933) sold for $23,750. Many other poster performed well, and the pre-sale private view was packed. Below photos of us with Ira Resnick and Joe Burtis who runs Ira's gallery MPA in New York, and Sarah with a personal favourite, the three-sheet for Bette Davis's 'Dark Victory', which sold for $8,750, sadly not coming home with her.

Just back from London where we went to the private pre-sale view of the Vivien Leigh Collection at Sotheby's and the auction of 'Audrey Hepburn: The Personal Collection' at Christie's. Both auctions included clothes, jewellery, scripts and other personal effects. The Vivien Leigh Collection comprised 321 lots and sold for a total of £2,243,617. The Audrey Hepburn Collection was divided into a live auction and an online only auction, which closes on 4th October. The live auction comprised 256 lots and totalled £4,635,500. One of the highlights of the Vivien Leigh auction was her presentation leather-bound script for "Gone With The Wind", 1939, which sold for £58,750, and an oil painting by Winston Churchill "Study For Roses", which sold for £638,750. The highlight of the Audrey Hepburn auction was her working script for "Breakfast At Tiffany's", 1961, which sold for a staggering £632,750, and a black sleeveless cocktail dress worn in "Charade", 1963, which made £68,750.

Carey and I attended the farewell bash for Christie's South Kensington on 19th July at the Kensington Hotel - the last auction took place that afternoon and now, very sadly, CSK has closed its doors for good. We had many happy years there, handled some truly memorable auctions, including two dedicted James Bond sales, Eric Clapton's guitars, and Shirley Bassey's Glittering Gowns, amongst many other unique and fascinating items, Stormtrooper helmets and Audrey Hepburn's dress from Breakfast At Tiffany's spring to mind, and forged friendships with some highly talented colleagues.
