Show auction description

Behind the Curtain: The Tony Walton Collection includes more than 700 lots from the estate of theatre and film designer Tony Walton. Day two of this three day sale picks up with Walton's work on the 1981 Broadway production of Sophisticated Ladies through the end of his career in 2018. Highlights include the original artwork for both the show scrim and poster for Sophisticated Ladies, original set and costumed design artwork, and scale set models for Woman of the Year, The Real Thing, Hurlyburly and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and more. Set models and artwork for 1987's Anything Goes, as well as 1992's Guys and Dolls are also among the highlights. Walton also designed the sets for the long-running A Christmas Carol, which ran every December from 1994-2003 at The Paramount Theater at Madison Square Garden. Scale set models, as well as original set design artwork for the show round out day two. Willow Auction House is proud to present Behind the Curtain: The Tony Walton Collection. For more than 60 years, Tony Walton designed costumes and sets for some of Broadways most notable productions, including Chicago, Annie Get Your Gun, and Guys and Dolls. A Tony, Oscar and Emmy Award winner, he also worked on films such as All That Jazz and The Wiz, and designed for off-Broadway and regional theater productions, ballets and operas.
