This July, RR Auction will be offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a set of original paintings by renowned artist Arnold Friberg, created for use in the making of Cecil B. DeMille’s masterful 1956 classic, The Ten Commandments. Recently attributed to Friberg by art historian and author Lawrence Jeppson, this collection of portraits is one of the most important Friberg discoveries of recent years, bringing together four of the biggest names in art and entertainment. Used by legendary makeup artists Wally and Frank Westmore as the templates for Charlton Heston’s transformation from a young slave to a wizened prophet, they are among the finest pieces of Hollywood art ever to come to market.
These stunning portraits will be on display at our Boston gallery, and all interested bidders are welcomed and encouraged to set up an appointment to view them. The live auction will take place at 1:00 pm, on July 19, 2014.
