From the hallowed halls of CBGBs to the mondo-trasho seats of American grindhouses, this countercultural offering will feature everything from the ridiculous to the sublime. Punk rock posters and flyers will cross the block beside outsider and self-taught art, Keith Haring originals ripped from the walls of the New York subway, spook show posters, and so much more. 

Our spring poster auction showcases a full range of poster collecting categories in more than 600 lots, from travel, advertising, and music to sports, magic, theater, and design, as well as a selection of pictorial maps. 

Our first spring sale is set to feature a large and diverse advertising collection, including porcelain, litho tin, and hand-painted trade signs of all types from a noted Midwest collection. Complementing these pieces will be patent models of all types, and coin-operated machines in all popular categories, including slots and trades, vending, and arcade games. 

This auction will feature fine books and documents regarding human exploration of the land, sea, and sky. Chronicles of and relics from polar, north American, European journeys of the last three hundred years, as well as other areas of exploration will cross the block, alongside books and ephemeral objects related to American and Russian space exploration.

Relics from the shows and life of the world's most famous magician - Harry Houdini - are set to cross the block this April. Vintage stone lithographs, "challenges" made to Houdini, autographs, and a remarkable link between Houdini and Arthur Conan Doyle will be highlights of the sale. The auction will conclude with a strong offering of vintage magic memorabilia, including apparatus, posters, and books.
