Hello everybody!
How are you? I've been meaning to share something with you for a time: all the different photos that I've been "recollecting" from the Internet of the
Turners Auction over the years.
As I mentioned on my
previous post about it, the Turners Auction was a huge prop sale that took place in New Zealand in 2001. It was the first official Xena auction ever organized, and it also included props from other Renaissance Pictures shows, such as Hercules, Young Hercules, Cleopatra 2525 and Jack of All Trades.
Unlike the Yahoo / It's a Wrap! auction, I've never seen official photos of the pieces one by one. Only by lots, filling every corner of several warehouses. This is the map:
Anyhow, without further delay, here are the photos that I've been able to scavenge (most courtesy of
New Xenaland). I hope you like them!
First come all the photos concerning
props and
atrezzo elements:
 |
| Top Left: Can you spot the sais? |
 |
| Amazon swords (left) and Gab staffs (right) |
 |
| Bottom Right: Xena's coffin, before it was cut in pieces! |
 |
| Bottom right: Katanas from AFIN |
 |
| Is that a huge Ares head? |
Now let's take a look at all the
costumes:
 |
| Bottom Left: Look how many roman costumes! |
 |
| Bottom Left: Are those Hercules pants? |
 |
| Top Left: Valkyrie costumes! |
That's all I've got --but if you happen to have other photos from the Turners Auction and feel like sharing, it'll be great to take a look at them!
Happy week!
Super awesome! The eerie coffin from Bitter Suite, I wonder who has it lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it with us :)
You're welcome! And yes, I wonder where most pieces went. Above all things like that Centaur or big head statues. It's not like someone could put them in their living room!
DeleteSome of these photos aren't from the Turners auction but from the It's A Wrap warehouse sales. I have some of these on my blog posted in 2006, taken by my friend Liz.
