The Russ Meyer Auction
We first saw Russ Meyer’s office in Episode 5 of Jonathan Ross’ INCREDIBLY STRANGE FILM SHOW as wide-eyed youngsters in 1988 (and now included as a Special Feature on our UHD/Blu of SUPERVIXENS), and Woss’ wonder at the walls of memorabilia was tangible.
So was ours.
Fast-forward 35+ years: when The Russ Meyer Trust invited us to tour his home, our sense of awe was through the roof as we gazed firsthand upon the plaques that still remained — trade ads, foreign posters, repertory cinema calendars, original photos, VHS wraps, press books and much more — all of them once upon a time selected and hung on his walls by Russ Meyer (some complete with residual sticker glue!). It was a living museum and a laminated legacy, as vivid and real as the man himself.
Despite dozens of inquiries, The Russ Meyer Trust declined to share these items with major auction houses. Instead they’ve chosen to have Severin Films auction these plaques directly to Russ’ fans.
These are Russ Meyer’s personal mementos. And now they can be yours.
AUCTION GOES LIVE 11/12 AT 10AM PST AND LASTS 7 DAYS
