Lots 1–84: The Albert Grossman Collection
These lots come from Grossman’s Bearsville estate near Woodstock, New York. One of the most influential figures in American music history, Grossman managed artists including Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, The Band, and Peter, Paul and Mary.
Highlights include Bearsville Studios and Bearsville Records memorabilia; an autographed Wavy Gravy poster; an annotated map with connections to Albert Grossman, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Dr. John, Barry Feinstein, and Artie Mogull; and a group of magnetic reel-to-reel tapes documenting folk and blues recordings from the 1950s and 1960s.
The collection also reflects the character of the Bearsville estate itself, with period furniture, folk art, Western and Americana objects, copper cookware, artwork, rugs, lighting, and vintage audio equipment. Notable equipment includes components and speakers by Altec Lansing, JBL, McIntosh, Yamaha, and others, as well as turntables and related audio gear. Also included is a collection of vintage vinyl LPs found at the estate spanning rock, jazz, soul, R&B, reggae, funk, new wave, progressive rock, and singer-songwriter recordings.
Lots 85–169: Autographs & Entertainment Memorabilia
A separate collection features signed photographs, letters, programs, manuscripts, concert posters, musical instruments, memorabilia, and a Steinway & Sons baby grand piano.
The collection spans music, opera, theater, film, television, sports, and popular culture, with signed material associated with figures including Cary Grant, Clark Gable, Gene Kelly, Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, Clint Eastwood, Robin Williams, Amy Winehouse, Muhammad Ali, Mickey Mantle, and many others.
Lots 170–443: Fine Art, Antiques & Estate Finds
The remainder of the auction offers a diverse selection for collectors, dealers, and decorators, including paintings and works on paper, Japanese woodblock prints, Bohemian glass, European and American porcelain, Rookwood pottery, lighting, decorative arts, signed and editioned prints, works related to Andy Warhol and Alexander Calder, comic books, woodcut novels, literature and art books, clocks, watches, and an extensive selection of antique and vintage furniture.
