This auction features photographs of entertainers by photographer Michael Collopy. These framed and matted prints were obtained from the estate of the car dealer who owned the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, CA in the early 1990's where Mr. Collopy worked as a photographer. Now, Mr. Michael Collopy is a world renowned photographer who has photographed numerous dignitaries, entertainers and community leaders. Some links to Michael Collopy history and achievemnets are below. A search of his works in the open market yields near zero results. His reply to me was that it was very difficult to obtain permission from the artist to create reprints for sale. As far as we know, these are the only prints available to the open market that bear his signature and copyright.It's kind of like photographs of Half Dome in Yosemite, of which, there are thousands. But, if Ansel Adams took a photograph and only made one print...According to Mr. Collopy's biography , he met Ansel Adams who encouraged Michael to pursue a career in photography.
