Nostalgia Estate Sales

Step into the fast-paced world of Los Angeles television history with this exceptional offering of original artwork by Bruce Alexander, a prolific commercial artist for KABC Channel 7 during the 1970s and 1980s. Working at breakneck speed to meet the demands of live broadcast news, Alexander produced thousands of striking visuals that shaped how Southern Californians experienced breaking news, feature stories, and television programming during a pivotal era in broadcast media. His creations include: News Graphics - Detailed, realistic illustrations designed to accompany breaking stories and human-interest segments. Title Cards & Bumpers - Bold, hand-rendered visuals announcing -Coming Up Next and other program transitions. Corporate & Promotional Artwork - Vibrant commercial graphics used to promote KABC and its network affiliates. Alexander primarily employed acrylics, airbrush techniques, and colored pencil, achieving an immediacy and realism that defined the look of local television in a pre-digital era. This sale offers a rare chance to acquire original works from a professional whose artistry was seen by millions but rarely preserved outside the studio. Collectors of mid-century media, sports memorabilia, pop culture, and original illustration will find this a unique opportunity to own a tangible piece of Los Angeles broadcast history.
