It is as you say necessary to remind some people that the history of the Lyceum did not begin with their interest in theatrical affairs…” 2pp. on card-style stationery measures 5″ x 8″. Toning and tape to interior at the top edge. Very good. Sold for $934.
Scarce model from the 1979 film ”Alien” of the famed ”Space Jockey” character aboard the ”Derelict Spaceship”, designed and hand-painted by H.R. Giger. One of the most recognizable scenes in sci-fi cinema, the haunting Space Jockey aka The Pilot, found dead aboard the alien spaceship, was conceived and designed by famed Swiss surrealist painter, sculptor and visual effects artist H.R. Giger, whose work on ”Alien” won an Academy Award in 1980.
The enormous Space Jockey and cavernous spaceship are quintessential Giger, renowned for human-machine melded beings called biomechanoids; the walls of the spaceship appear to be either vertebrae from a once living creature, or cogs in a vast industrial machine system, or perhaps both. Space Jockey is fused into his command station and wears either a mask, or has a elephantine trunk extending from his face. In the ”Alien” set — which was built based on this model — Space Jockey sits 26 feet tall, dwarfing the characters of Kane, Dallas and Lambert who find him dead, his rib cage blasted open, serving as foreshadowing to what awaits the crew later in the film.
So pivotal was the scene — establishing the world of the Alien creature and serving as ground zero for the film’s mythology — that Ridley Scott insisted upon its construction, despite the enormous cost of building the life-size (or larger than life) set. Space Jockey so enthralled the audience of ”Alien”, that the character would even go on to serve as a critical and central story point in Scott’s ”Promethus”, the ”Alien” origin story released in 2012.
The model is reportedly one of only three or four known to exist and comes from the collection of Peter Beale, former 20th Century Fox executive who was given the model by Giger and whose LOA accompanies the piece. The original mold was intentionally cut into smaller parts to be used by the technicians who constructed the set, so the remaining models are the only extant original sculptures of the scene. This model measures 43” wide x 36” long x 16.25” high, hand painted in tones of grey, brown and black by Giger. Space Jockey is fused into his pilot seat, which swivels around on a circular platform. The swiveling piece can be removed and measures 13.5” long x 10.25” high x 4.5” wide. Entire model weighs over 47 lbs., glued to a painted sheet of plywood. A few chips to the resin, otherwise in near fine condition. One of the finest ”Alien” props ever to be sold at auction. Sold for $31,250.
Screen-Used Ralph McQuarrie Original Model of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise From 1976
Ralph McQuarrie and Ken Adam designed model for Star Trek’s USS Enterprise, with McQuarrie’s influence evident in the model’s triangular design, while still retaining the original Starship Enterprise aesthetic by Matt Jefferie. Made in 1976 for the unproduced “Star Trek: Planet of the Titans”, this model was subsequently screen-used in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as part of the armada destroyed in the epic “Battle of Wolf 359” between the United Federation of Planets and the Borg Collective.
At the time of this model, McQuarrie was completing work on “Star Wars”, whose influence has been noted here, specifically, its similarity to the Star Destroyers of “Star Wars”. The design of this model is also the inspiration for the redesigned USS Discovery starship in 2017’s “Star Trek: Discovery”. Ship measures 15″ x 8″ wide, made of wood and plastic and with tape and ink accents. Professional repair where nacelle pylons meet the secondary hull, overall in very good condition, stunning for display. Accompanied by the book “The Art of Star Trek”, where the model is photographed and featured on page 56. Sold for $9,725.
Model ”RMS Titanic” used by the visual effects department on the 1997 epic romance film ”Titanic”. Lightweight model of the doomed ship is quite detailed, including windows, portholes, smoke stacks and other fixtures and texture. Model is a uniform grey in color, painted black over the area where the ship broke in two upon its sinking. Visual effects was among the 11 Academy Awards ”Titanic” garnered. Accompanied by a wooden board painted blue for display. The actual ocean liner measured 882’9” in length and 92’6” in breadth. Model measures 30.25” x 3.5” and 6” tall from the bottom to top of the smoke stacks. Near fine. With a COA from Screen Used Movie Props. Sold for $3,845.
