CINCINNATI, Dec. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --EVERYTHING BUT THE HOUSE (EBTH), the world's premier online marketplace for estate sales, and Jerrick (OTCQB: JMDA), a digital media and technology company focused on the development and marketing of branded digital content and e-commerce properties, announced the launch of The Guccione Collection, an online auction running from December 8th-14th, 2016 on EBTH.com. The auction includes an exclusive collection of original artwork, pin-up photography, and memorabilia from Bob Guccione's personal archives. All items start at a $1 bid with no reserve.
Guccione, a painter, photographer, and art collector who is most widely known for founding more than 15 magazines, including Penthouse and OMNI, amassed a personal collection of eclectic art and collectibles spanning across five decades of his life. The sale items bring to life Guccione's passion for the arts and showcase what is now his trademark aesthetic of diffused natural light and warm soft focus photography. From pencil sketches and paintings to original 35mm photographic negatives and framed magazine cover art, Guccione left a legacy of provocative and envelope-pushing memorabilia. Key sale items featuring Lauren Hutton, Madonna and Betty Page are a collector's dream.
"We are excited to host a curated auction from Guccione's vast collection of personal and corporate ephemera that represents his life's work from his days in the art studio to his time behind the camera. This sale gives Guccione fans from across the world a chance to bid on unique pieces that have been inaccessible until now," said EBTH Co-Founder Brian Graves.
"In 2013, after two years of work, we completed the assembly of The Guccione Collection. Since then, I have been eager to share these pieces with art aficionados, pop culture fans and pin-up collectors around the world," said Jerrick CEO Jeremy Frommer.
The sale will be live on December 8th, 2AM EST here: https://www.ebth.com/sales/20121-the-guccione-collection/categories/all
