Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) have announced “The David Lynch Collection,” a live auction event with over 450 items from the late David Lynch. Among the treasured memorabilia available to bid on are Lynch’s director chair, his personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, the Black Lodge curtain and rug from Twin Peaks, numerous props from Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks: The Return, Lynch’s La Marzocco GS/3 home espresso machine, and much more. The auction takes place on Wednesday, June 18, in Gardena, California, and online at the Julien’s Auctions website.
“Julien’s and TCM are honored to represent and offer to the public for the first time this incredible collection of one of the greatest and most revered filmmakers of all time, David Lynch,” said Catherine Williamson, the managing director of entertainment at Julien’s Auctions, in a press release. “These historical and cherished pieces reflecting David Lynch’s singular artistic vision, as well as his passions and pursuits ranging from his director’s chair, espresso machine to his guitar, record collections and Twin Peaks style decor, come directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams.”
Lynch died this past January at the age of 78. A legendary filmmaker whose body of work also included Blue Velvet, The Elephant Man, Lost Highway, and more features, his unique vision spawned the term “Lynchian” to describe surrealist and disorienting approaches to real life in cinema. Beyond the director’s camera, Lynch was a lifelong creative who extended his curiosity into output as a musician, actor, visual artist, and music video director, with his last full-length album being 2024’s Cellophane Memories, a collaborative LP with Chrystabell.
