This sale is anchored by material from the collection of filmmaker, writer, and director Jayne Loader, assembled over 50 years and reflecting the Atomic Age themes explored in her film The Atomic Cafe.

Clay Wilson, and Harvey Pekar, spanning titles such as Zap Comix, American Splendor, Weirdo, RAW, and related publications from the late 1960s through the 1980s.
A selection of art and exhibition posters includes works by Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Alberto Giacometti, Robert Motherwell, Jasper Johns, Piet Mondrian, Georgia OKeeffe, and M.C. Escher, alongside museum and gallery issued prints from institutions including the Grand Palais, Fondation Maeght, the British Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Additional material includes political and protest posters spanning the 1960s through the 1980s, with examples tied to the Black Panther Party, anti nuclear activism, and civil rights era graphics, along with works by Peter Kennard and Robbie Conal.
The sale is rounded out by a selection of film and pop culture material, including original movie posters, Italian 2 fogli and locandina formats, press kits, lobby cards, animation art, autographs, and signed prints.
