It’s been several months now since we lost one of America’s greatest filmmakers, David Lynch, at the age of 78. The world of film will never be the same without him. And soon, many of Lynch’s personal items will go up for auction, which we’ve learned about via Gizmodo. For serious fans of Lynch’s filmography like us, there are many items in this collection that we’d love to own. These gems are from his nearly 50-year career, with pieces from Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, Dune, and his first feature film, Eraserhead. You can check out some of the items from Julien’s David Lynch auction, which goes live on June 18, below:
Some of the items in the David Lynch estate auction include the menus from Winkie’s, the Denny’s stand-in with a terrifying being that lives behind it in Mulholland Drive. There’s Lynch’s personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, the film that put him on the map. And there’s quite a bit from the world of Twin Peaks. Lynch’s original script from the series, when it was called Northwest Passage, as well as Fire Walk With Me, are among the auction items as well. The framed photo of the atomic bomb test that was in Gordon Cole’s office in Twin Peaks: The Return? It was also part of Lynch’s personal collection. Which is fitting, since he played Gordon Cole in the series.
One of the coolest items is Lynch’s personal version of the red curtains and zigzag patterns, Twin Peaks’ most iconic image. But the Holy Grail in this auction is Lynch’s actual director’s chair with his name on it. Whoever gets these, we honestly hope they donate them to a museum.
There are 444 lots in this auction, and some of them are just common household items, like coffee makers. But if you’re a diehard David Lynch fan, you’d probably want a Lynch-owned coffee maker more than almost any other item in this auction. To check out all the items yourself, head on over to the official Julien’s Auctions site.
