Al Hirschfeld Artwork And Personal Items Up For Auction A couple of wire pieces have picked up on a forthcoming Al Hirschfeld home-items auction. This looks to be stuff that wasn't directed anywhere upon the caricaturist's passing in 2003 but needs to be disposed of after Hirschfeld's home sold for a multi-million dollar price earlier this year. I'm not a buyer of this kind of thing, but there's a little kid in me that if he were to attend a New York play bearing Al Hirschfeld's opera glasses and the pen-light with which Hirschfeld drew studies for all of those pictures would feel like some kind of Vertigo-ish superhero. A lot of this stuff is pretty affordable, but of special interest to comics fans might be a couple of first-run copies of the scene study books through which Hirschfeld receives his most interest as a comics-maker as opposed to a caricaturist and illustrator. They are expected to go for a lot of money.
