Sell Your Mary Blair Concept Painting
We have sold several art items from famed Disney artist Mary Blair. Please see below:
Mary Blair Disney It’s a Small World Concept Painting
“It’s a Small World” original concept painting, created in 1964 for Walt Disney by Mary Blair, a “Disney Legend” who designed concept art for “Cinderella”, “Alice in Wonderland” and “Peter Pan”. Originally a pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair, “It’s a Small World” captured the attention of Walt Disney, who commissioned Mary Blair to adapt it into a ride at Disneyland. Her subsequent artwork is presented here — a gorgeous 1960s inspired castle-themed piece in colors of pink, green and gold against a contrasting black background. The entrance to the ride is clearly evident in the artwork, referencing Blair’s mod-castle aesthetic with soft colors. Board measures 20″ x 15″. Light edge wear and pinholes at corners, otherwise near fine. Beautiful, large concept art for the iconic Disney attraction. Sold for $15,332.

Mary Blair 1946 concept painting for Disney’s “Song of the South”. A “Disney Legend” who designed concept art for several Disney films including “Cinderella”, Mary Blair famously visited the South before creating concept art for “Song of the South”, with her research evident here in the landscape and mood. Gouache painting on board shows Br’er Bear, Br’er Fox and Tar-Baby about to set a trap for Br’er Rabbit. Board measures 13.5″ x 11″. Light edge wear and pinholes at corners, otherwise near fine. Sold for $11,025.
The following are some Disney cels we sold:
Original animation cel from Disney’s 1937 classic ”Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” featuring the most famous moment in the film, the Queen in her old hag disguise handing Snow White the famed poisoned apple. Snow White is portrayed in her iconic gown and with a red bow in her hair, innocently looking at the bright red apple. With ”Snow White and the Witch” handwritten in cursive pencil to left side mat below cel, along with, ”Original / WDP (Walt Disney Pictures)” in ink to bottom right. Cel measures 11” x 7.5”, matted in white with a gilt color frame to an overall size of 20” x 16”. Cel is pristine and in fine condition. With a COA from the Ray Bradbury estate. Sold for $15,000.
Walt Disney signed animation cel used in Disney’s 1940 classic “Pinocchio”, the groundbreaking follow-up to the first full length Disney animated film, ”Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Very large cel, featuring Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket, measures 4.5″ x 5.5″, with original background measuring 7.5″ by 9.5″, and mat measuring 15″ x 16″ upon which Disney signs, “To Gorden Crier / Best Wishes / Walt Disney”. Disney gifted Gordon Crier the cel after Crier produced a BBC program about Disney in the late 1940s, at the conclusion of which Disney asked Crier what his favorite cartoon was, to which Crier replied, “Pinocchio”. With Courvoisier Galleries sticker affixed to backing certifying that both the background and cel were used in the filming of “Pinocchio”. Walt Disney Productions stamp appears on mat, above Disney’s signature, reading “original / WDP”. Uniform toning to mat and small amount of abrasion to edges. Cel itself is near fine. With an LOA from Crier’s daughter and a COA from Phil Sears. A rare, special Disney signed cel from one of the classics in animated film, also unusual for its size. Sold for $12,000.

Disney’s ”Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” Original Cel — Beautiful, Near Fine Condition
Original animation cel from Disney’s 1937 motion picture masterpiece “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Despite Hollywood snickering that “Snow White” would be “Disney’s folly” and bankrupt his studio, the prescient animator forged ahead to create the first-ever fully animated feature film. Three years into its making, when resources ran dry, he had to secure emergency funding by showing a rough cut of the film to bank executives. When it finally premiered in December 1937, Disney silenced his critics through the audience’s reaction, which gave the film a standing ovation and singularly ushered in the Golden Age of Animation. In this cel, Snow White communes with a little band of forest creatures who become her faithful allies as the story unfolds. This Courvoisier set-up cel is affixed to paperboard and matted, with “Snow White” inscribed in pencil to the outer mat. Printed slips affixed to verso read “Original Work From Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “This Material Inflammable / Handle With Care / Frame Under Glass / Copyright 1937 / Walt Disney Enterprises”. Artwork measures 7″ x 7.5″, matted to an overall size of 9.5″ x 11.75″. Near fine. Sold for $7,199.
