Album Cover Hall of Fame’s Breaking News for April 13th, 2022 – Auction/Sale Update, by Mike Goldstein
With two interesting auctions on line now that end before the end of April, I felt compelled to share these with you ASAP – happy hunting!
a) The venerable Bonham’s auction house has just launched a new online-only auction (Bonham’s: Hip-Hop Online) that is a must-take-a-look-at event for collectors of everything hip-hop related. Curated by the equally-venerable Howard Kramer (former chief curator at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame), this auction includes a number of items produced by some of the top photographers (Mannion, Mark Seliger, Jesse Frohman, Clay Patrick McBride, David Corio, Sunny Bak and many others) whose works have been used on some of the genre’s best-known album covers, along with scores of classic posters and related bits of rare memorabilia (I’m particularly fond on Lyle Owerko’s homages to the king of 80s playback technology, the boombox).
Browse through the collection via this link – https://www.bonhams.com/auction/27550/hip-hop-online/? The auction comes to a close at 10:00 EDT on the 21st of April, so waste no time and take a look ASAP.
