NEW YORK CITY — The Stage & Screen sale at Doyle Auctions on June 24 featured a star-studded lineup of lots, including autographs, ephemera and art associated with the Twentieth Century theatre and film industry. The top lot was a combination of two stars, a photograph of pianist George Gershwin (American, 1898-1937) signed and inscribed with a musical quotation from his own song, “I’ve Got Rhythm,” to actress and singer Ethel Merman (American, 1908-1984). Acquired from the 1984 Christie’s auction of Merman’s estate, it has not come to auction since then, and sold for $22,680 against a $10/15,000 estimate. More on this piece of performance history and more in an upcoming review. Prices quoted include the buyer’s premium as reported by the auction house.
