Description

An exceptional single-lot collection of three official, framed promotional art posters from the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. This set features museum-grade signatures from titans of motorsport, photography, and automotive design, structurally linked as a cohesive collection via matching historical inventory labels. Lot Highlights & Signature Analysis 1983 Poster (33rd Annual) — 2 Wet Signatures: Ansel Adams: Personally dedicated "To Richard Miller" and hand-signed by the legendary American photographer in black ink. Adams was a lifelong resident of the Monterey Peninsula and a frequent honorary guest/judge at the event. Sir Jackie Stewart: Features a bold, highly stylized, enclosed wet signature from the iconic three-time Formula One World Champion and long-serving Pebble Beach Master of Ceremonies. 1987 Poster (37th Annual) — 13 Wet Signatures: A historic automotive time capsule containing 13 individual, hand-signed wet signatures from classic coachbuilders, honorary judges, and automotive legends. Signatures include: Phil Hill (1961 F1 World Champion), Brooks Stevens (Design icon), Henry Austin Clark Jr. (Historian), Hermann C. Brunn (Coachbuilder), Strother MacMinn (ArtCenter Professor), Dave Holls (GM Design Director), Hank Ketcham (Dennis the Menace creator with custom face sketch), Will Ikerd, Norbert Nagel, Bill Lauer, Bill Dobson, Bill DeChesere, and Dan Bowles. 1997 Poster (47th Annual): Elegant event print by renowned automotive artist Nicola Wood, beautifully completing the historical continuum of the trio. Provenance & Condition Report Provenance: The reverse of each frame bears official inventory labels from K2 Environmental Inc. Construction & Remediation, cataloging them directly as assets from the "Miller" estate recovery project. The labels detail exact archival tracking numbers (Pic 70, Pic 71, Pic 74) and precise dimensions (18\frac{1}{4} \times 24 \text{ inches} and 26\frac{1}{2} \times 38\frac{1}{2} \text{ inches}). After circumstances unknown the pieces were salvaged and are currently held in a private collection. Condition Note (1983 & 1987 Signed Posters): Both highly valuable signed pieces are remarkably well-preserved within their gallery frames. The critical ink signatures remain strong, clear, completely legible, and entirely undamaged. Condition Note (1997 Unsigned Poster): This poster exhibits a distinct, vertical puncture/tear located in the upper-middle section of the artwork (the sky area), which penetrates completely through the backing paper, mounting board, and the front face of the print. The frame and glass remain structurally sound.
