possibly a bargain,

but only for those who would recognize it as such. The listing below is for a framed photograph I've donated to the auction at my kids' school. I'm worried that it's the kind of high-dollar unique item that will be destined for fund-raising failure when offered to the wrong crowd. Proxy bidding is available through Thursday. Hell, I'd even drop a form off for you if you're interested in placing a bid.



Item #L056: Untitled, behind the scenes on Where the Wild Things Are, Bushranger's Bay, Victoria, Australia, 2006

image: archival digital chromogenic print, 20" x 30" image, framed to 30" x 40" in white oak. Signed on verso by Shawn and Max Records

item description: framed photograph made behind the scenes of the departure scene in Spike Jonze's motion picture adaptation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are.
