Our December Art sale features a special group of Milton Greene photographs and stunning artwork from the collection and corridors of the Beverly Hilton. Greene’s portraits of famous figures like Frank Sinatra, Grace Kelly, and Marilyn Monroe remain in high regard and we will offer over 50 of his images in the auction.

Orson Welles wrote of Max Maven: "Yours is the most original mind in magic." This December, Potter & Potter is pleased to offer the very sources of information that helped supply that original mind, in the form of Max Maven's extensive collection and working library. Rare works on mind reading, magic, and the occult will be parts of the sale, along with Maven's material related to his idol, Thedodore Annemann. Complementing Maven's collection is an array of ephemera, posters, and magic apparatus both vintage and modern.

Potter and Potter is pleased to present our first auction of 2025. Not only does this auction feature rare books, fine bindings and sets, and autographs and manuscripts, one session will be devoted to the vast collection of original children's book artwork and signed books from the legendary collection of Dr. J. Robert and Alice Dornish.
