Lots 24-36 and 202-281 are selections from the corporate art collection of Artists Management Group, an entertainment management and production company, which represented actors, writers, and directors in the motion picture and television industry, for the development and production of entertainment projects. They also represented over 100 writers, directors, show creators, artists and composers in the burgeoning field of animation. In the interactive arena, Artists Management Group explored the next frontiers of content production and delivery. Based in Beverly Hills, the company was launched in 1999 and began collecting immediately. For the next four years Artists Management Group amassed an impressive array of photographic art, a medium that corresponded directly with the essence of the firm's mission and inspirational to the employees. The firm has subsequently been sold.
