LONDON – On March 29, Chiswick Auctions will host a Design & Modern Contemporary sale that includes a single-owner collection of beautiful contemporary glass. The 40 pieces, all created by renowned UK and international artists, were assembled by art glass enthusiast Ben Essex between 1978 and 2010. Some were specially commissioned.
NEW YORK — Created and produced by the so-called “master of disaster” Irwin Allen, known for his movies The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, Lost In Space debuted on television in September 1965. The show was a hit and ran for three seasons, tapping into a strong interest in outer space and science fiction. The Twilight Zone had already been on air for several years at that point, and NASA’s manned space flight program was going strong with Mercury and Gemini.
