IGGY POP by MICK ROCK
Iggy Pop photograph by the legend Mick Rock,
An indelible image that defines Iggy Pop, at the fabled Kings Cross Cinema Show in July, of 1972.
Shirtless, wearing silver leather pants, Iggy is resplendent in his infamous back bend. It’s also one of the few remaining prints signed by Mick, who, it is not an exaggeration to say, shot some of the most memorable music images of the last 50 years—Bowie, Queen, T.Rex, Lou Reed, the Stooges, all the way up to Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus. Mick died in 2021.

EDDIE VEDDER & DANNY CLINCH
Signed, Eddie Vedder
photograph Danny Clinch,
Eddie Vedder in Barcelona, Spain at Casa Batilo, by the renowned photographer Danny Clinch. The photograph taken on July 23, 2019 is so magical Eddie used it as the cover image for his solo album, Earthling. Danny Clinch’s self described “unobtrusive style” has created exceptional and unforgettable images of Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Pearl Jam, Foo FIghters, and Tupac Shakur. Signed by both Eddie Vedder and Danny Clinch for Ellis Park, the photo racked up some frequent flyer mileage to do so. In a nice bit of synchronicity, the guitar Eddie is holding aloft into the skylight designed by Antonio Gaudi is a Warren Ellis Eastwood signature tenor guitar.

Warren Ellis photograph by Richard Dumas, Signed
Warren Ellis photographed by Richard Dumas Oct 4, 2022, Paris, France.
Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, is said to have said, "A true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the size of his heart". In this elegiac photo Warren Ellis is not holding his heart: it is the Ann Demeulemeester sculpture of Nina Simone’s gum, recreated out of the mold (and enlarged) of the now infamous chewing gum Warren took off Nina’s piano in the late 90’s—the story of which is eloquently told in his book Nina Simone's Gum. Richard Dumas is an extraordinary French portrait photographer known for his use of contrasts in black and white—shooting stark images of artists like Keith Richards, Joe Strummer, Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Patti Smith, and Nick Cave.

MICHAEL IMPERIOLI
Sopranos shooting script for “The Two Tony’s” signed by Michael Imperioli.
MIchael of course unforgettably plays Christopher Soprano in one of the greatest shows of television history, and thats not even vaguely hyperbole. “The Two Tonys” script was written by series creator David Chase, and Terence Winter. The 53rd episode introduces the great Steve Buscemi as Tony Blundetto, a newly released parolee and the hapless cousin of Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). There’s a bear in the Soprano’s backyard, Tony S hits on his therapist Dr Melfi (Lorraine Bracco), and Christo-pherr and Paulee (Tony Sirico) have a fight over a dinner bill that leaves the waiter dead. A felonious time was had by all.
Soprano’s Shooting Script: signed by Michael Imperioli, aired on HBO,
March 7, 2004.

NORMAN REEDUS

Cooks in the Kitchen With Cats photograph by Norman Reedus, Moscow, 2007 Sub-Basement Of Maximum Security Prison In Moscow, signed.
“I was doing a movie called Moscow Chill, directed by Andre Konchalovsky (a
collaborator of Andre Tarkovsky) and a superb filmmaker himself. We were filming in Moscow, I took the shot quickly, we weren’t supposed to be photographing anything in the prison” Besides being an accomplished actor (The Walking Dead, the Book of Carol) Norman is a sublime photographer. His work is infused with his macabre sense of humor, and an irreverential streak a mile wide, both of which shine though in all his creative endeavors.

The BB (Bridge Baby) inside & exterior is sculpted & stained to faithfully recreate the pod & reflect the world of the game.

“It’s the first dress Susie Cave gifted me from Vampires Wife. When I was trying it on, I was extremely emotional. I was being dropped from my record company, I was a new single mother & flat out broke, my friend Dylan Rieder, had just died, & I was so moved by Susie sending it to me — when I took the photo I was in shreds, holding onto my son Bo, I sent it to Susie to see if it fit right. The photo became my record cover. It is also the dress I wore for my first solo shows, & when I got to finally embrace Susie in Brighton. I save all my “costumes” from stage. I travel with them in various sizes. too. This one is a never worn size 12 Vampires WIfe version of that same dress, that traveled the world with me. Though I never fit in it. A girl can dream.

CONSTANCE DEBRE
Love Me Tender, signed,
English paperback edition
“I hate books for the happy few’ French author Constance Debre once said, and she certainly doesn’t write them that way either: her books are powerful and riveting and messy, like life. When Constance’s first book, the autobiographical Play Boy came out she received outrage and awards in France; Love Me Tender is a tour de force that shook up the literary world. A fuck-you of feminist resistance, a queer awaking, a shiv into the gut of the patriarchy, and a mother’s heartbreaking choices— it’s brave and defiant a book you read and it is with you forever.

“Anton was able to give the Depeche Mode sound, that we were beginning to create, a visual identity.” One of the great artist & photographer collaborations, which Anton lets face it excels at (U2 and REM, Joy Division are a few others that come to mind`). This is a magnificent visual journey: “He thought they were pop lightweights – then turned them into moody megastars. [Corbijn] recalls his adventures with the band, from desert trips to drug-induced near-death experiences.” The Guardian

She hadn’t arrived yet, but she was arriving. Contains an alternate version of “Every time the Sun Comes Up,” her “Joy Division version” of this masterpiece of a song: “I wash your dishes, but I shit in your bathroom,” she sings, “Every time the sun comes up, I’m in trouble.”
