To help celebrate its 10th Anniversary, MediCinema the charity that brings the magic that is cinema to patients in hospital, has secured a collection of over 50 signed original lip prints from some of the biggest names in film.

The entire collection of over 50 kisses will be on display from 31st March – 8th April in the Healed With A Kiss Exhibition at The Movieum, County Hall, London.  The original signed lip prints will be auctioned on 2nd April by Hugh Edmeades, Chairman of Christie’s, South Kensington, at The Healed With A Kiss Party to celebrate 10 years of MediCinema.   The auction is open to all film enthusiasts who can register, in advance, to bid online for an original signed lip print and a genuine item of film memorabilia on www.medicinema.org.uk

Ewan McGregor, an active and longstanding Patron of the charity, said “I am delighted to participate in the Healed With a Kiss initiative, having seen at first hand how much patients and their families look forward to an all-encompassing cinema experience and welcome break from the daily routine of life on the hospital wards.”

A custom designed white spandex, right hand glove completely covered in clear Swarovski crystal loch rosen crystals.  This style of the crystal glove is one of the most recognized pieces of wardrobe in the history of popular culture.  Jackon settled on this incarnation of the glove in the late 1970s and was seldom seen after that time performing without a white crystal glove.  While the style and design specifications of "The" glove have varied slightly during the course of his career, this glove dates to the early 1980s.
 
Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000


A group of three busts of Michael Jackson, two including forearms and hands, making faces.  Each is mounted to a black wooden base on Plexiglas sheet.  The masks were created for the special effects sequences in Jackson's 997 short film Ghosts.  They can be seen on screen during the closing credits of the film as Jackson undergoes his special effects makeup application in his trailer.
