Words can barely describe the exquisite status of this impressive lot of exceptionally rare Leif Garrett color slides. 16 Magazine was welcomed back for a third private and exclusive photo session at their California residence in December of 1980, which resulted in this dazzling collection of 136 majestic color slides.
In what is arguably the most open and candid session ever done with Leif, you will see him hanging out at the pool with his sister, relaxing in the backyard hammock, playing with his dog, posing in the driveway with the family stall of cars, proudly displaying his record awards and guitar collection, as well as leisurely lounging in and around the house.
With only a few of these photos published before, the purchaser of this collection will become the future owner of one of the most exclusive Leif Garrett photo archives ever been made available.
Please note that all slides in this lot do include full transfer of ownership rights. The winning buyer of this lot will, upon full payment and clearing of funds, receive a legally binding agreement from - and signed by - the current owner of the materials as offered in this lot, granting the new owner full title and complete ownership rights. For more information about (the content of) this agreement and ownership rights, please contact Backstage Auctions, Inc.
A slide is a positive transparency, designed to be viewed when lit from behind. 35 millimeter film, which is the basic gauge commonly used for still photography and measures about 1 3/8 inch wide, is widely referred to as 'slides'.
The 35 mm color slides featured in this auction lot, which for the most part are original Kodachromes, are generally in excellent condition. They have been preserved in a climate controlled environment and were stored in plastic pocket sleeves. Also note that the slides as seen in this lot have, for the purpose of this auction, been photographed from an illuminated light box, which creates a slight blurriness and graining. In actuality, these slides are of significant higher quality and clarity. |
