Artworks on Sale at Disney Gallery
Original artwork used in planning the Walt Disney theme parks will go on sale for the first time today at the Disney Gallery, New Orleans Square, Disneyland.
About 30 works are being offered at prices from $1,400 to $16,500. Included are preliminary drawings and paintings for the “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Jungle Cruise,” “Enchanted Tiki Room,” “Sleeping Beauty’s Castle” and “It’s a Small World” attractions.
“The reason for the sale relates to the concept of having a gallery at the park,” John McClintock, senior publicist for Disneyland, said Wednesday. “We’ve been selling reproductions since we opened it a year ago, but we felt that if we’re going to have a gallery, we should be selling original art.”
Among artists represented in the sale are Marc Davis, Eyvind Earle and Mary Blair.
