Bombshells to Blasters, An Auction You Can't Refuse Pt. 1

The Rick Carter Collection

Two time Academy Award-winner Rick Carter has been at the forefront of designing iconic cinematic worlds and leading art departments for the past 40+ years. From Jurassic Park to Star Wars, Hollywood’s most iconic blockbusters have sprung to life through a dynamic collaboration of original art and visionary design. The production designer’s task and purpose is to create the entire canvas upon which a production lives, breathes, and occupies the screen. Rick Carter is one of these artistic geniuses who articulates the story and vision of a director and project to deliver us to worlds long ago forgotten…and some we’ve yet to see. It is incredibly rare to get a glimpse into the initial spark that starts the creative process towards production, even rarer still to find one that ends up becoming a household title and internationally shared experience. Rick Carter’s work gives us insight into a visionary imagination that can inspire an entire crew to bring their very best in a symphony of collaboration and execution for directors Steven Spielberg, JJ Abrams, Robert Zemeckis, and James Cameron. Five-time Oscar nominated Carter has had a creative hand in movies that have ignited the collective consciousness with joy, laughter, pathos, and delightful terror for decades, including Death Becomes Her, Forrest Gump, Amistad, What Lies Beneath, Cast Away, War of the Worlds, Sucker Punch, Lincoln, Avatar and many more. Mr. Carter is pleased to offer the following personal, first-time-to-market pieces to fans, collectors, and institutions who will preserve them for all time and share them with a public who loves these movies as much as Mr. Carter has loved making them for us.
