This is the first in a series of charity auctions in support of cancer research and treatment featuring props from UNBOUND: A ★INSTAMINISERIES.

UNBOUND is a series running now and available through the Instagram account InstaMiniSeries. The 16-episode series, sanctioned by David Bowie in the fall of 2015, is a journey of evocative images inspired by the moods suggested by the music, lyrics and artwork from the last studio album released in the artist’s lifetime, ★ (pronounced 'Blackstar'). The series is a visual interpretation of the album as opposed to a literal, linear narrative. Each episode has been met with curiosity and intense speculation by viewers worldwide as to the overall meaning of the series.

This auction is for a set of three books created as props for UNBOUND provided by the producers and writer of the series. These props are handmade and one-of-a-kind.

One of the books for auction here was used on-screen in several of the episodes of UNBOUND as demonstrated in the photo included with this listing. The other two books are unused mock-ups and prototypes. This auction is for all three books and will be shipped with the photo shown, which is of a scene from UNBOUND showing the book on-screen. In addition, a signed letter from series producer Lawrence Peryer will be included, describing the date and context for the prop in an effort to provide documentation of authenticity. 

For the first auction, the producers have chosen to benefit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. According to Charity Watch, 97% of MSK’s funding goes to program as opposed to administrative costs.

We are initially donating 95% of the auction proceeds to charity and using the remaining 5% to make sure all of the items are securely packaged since they are irreplaceable. At the end of all of the auctions, any remaining funds will also be donated. If you would like to be informed of the final dispensation of funds, contact us through this listing.

If you have any questions, please inquire before the auction ends. We ship worldwide. All bids considered final. Thank you.
