Nearly 450 Objects Are on the Block in a Marvelously Eclectic Auction from David Lynch’s Archive

If you’re a fan of cult classics like Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, or Eraserhead, a piece of cinematic history could be yours in a unique auction that just launched in Los Angeles. Co-presented by Turner Classic Movies and Julien’s Auctions, bidding is currently open for items from the weird and wonderful archive of visionary filmmaker David Lynch, who died in January just days before his 79th birthday.

Nearly 450 objects, from cameras and woodworking supplies to books and ephemera, highlight both his incredible creative output and his own personal taste. Surrealist artworks are listed alongside movie props and memorabilia, instruments, coffee machines, and mugs — “because he could never be more than 15 steps away from a damn good cup of coffee,” the auctioneer says. Register and cast your bids until 10 a.m. Pacific Time on June 18 on the Julien’s site.
