- Lot Description
A Game of Catch, Bronze, ex. Michael Jackson.
David Ginzton, (American, 20th Century), 33" x 15" x 12" (84 x 38 x 32 cm), #71/80, bronze statue on a wood base with colored patination of a little boy about to throw a baseball with a glove on his other hand, signed and dated "David Ginzton 92".
As "The King of Pop," Michael Jackson acquired many beautiful objects, joyfully decorating his fabled ranch and amusement park in Santa Barbara County, California. Due to the entertainer's enormous global popularity, he had virtually unlimited funds with which to purchase treasured objects. He was particularly fond of bronze sculpted figures, many of which could be found on the grounds of his ranch.
In 2009, a major auction of Michael's possessions was to be held. A true "headliner", there was great excitement over the coming event. Legal issues arose however, and the auction was cancelled. Michael Jackson fans around the world were terribly disappointed.
One passionate fan, however, did not give up. Determined to own some of Michael's treasures, he pursued the matter and in the end, was able to acquire this figure and the approximately sixty five other sculptures in this auction from the Michael Jackson Collection. It is believed that these objects are the only items from the cancelled "King of Pop" Auction ever to be sold.
Provenance: Julien's Auctions; The Collection of the King of Pop: Michael Jackson, April 22-25, 2009, Lot 111
