THE STEPHEN SPIELBERG COLLECTION OF ORIGINAL COMIC ART

[krazykat-migration]

Reading the April 2001 catalogue for All-Star auctions they were selling the Cover to Mad # 2 by Jack Davis. The description cites "The cover to issue # 1 is in a private collection slated for a museum and will likely never be sold".

 

Anyone know where Spielberg plans on donating his collection to ?

My 5 percent have more soul and purity than your 95% sheep-boys. Society generally tends to throw out all 'the good wood'. The common man are fodder for the true Supermen-genius.

Hwo do you know speilberg has it?

[GoodyRickles]

OK Kat, I'll bite (scratch)...What other Major pieces does Spielberg own (I'm assuming he has the Mad #1 cover) I know Steve Martin has several comic pieces in His collection (Including a Fantastic Crumb cover that I saw once on Exhibit)....Does Spielberg still buy?? If so what has he been buying lately....what makes you think he will eventually not liquidate?

Hwo do you know speilberg has it?

 

First-hand info from the previous owner who still has almost all the other covers #2 - #11. It also is common knowledge within the art community that Spielberg paid 100K in the early 90's for it.

From last year's Forbes magazine with the article on Jim Halperin.

Yes, Spielberg owns the Mad #1 Cover. George Lucas and Spielberg both have extensive collections of OA and have been purchasing the stuff for some time. I do not know what other art either of the two possess. Lucas still buys,..I do not know about Spielberg. Based on the All-Star catalogue (I believe All-Star deals with Spielberg) the art is 'slated for a museum' at some point in the future,..presumably at Spielberg's death ?

An Artist of discerning sophistication and taste?

Even though your a big Spidy fan you subconsiously just showed who is really more popular.I got ya with patience.

Superman is the worlds most popular hero.

I was referring to Nietzcshe's Super-Man..or Uber-Man....somehow I think if Nietzcshe had cointed his term 'The Spider-man'...many generations of philosophers would have been like,.."Say Whaaaa?".
