June 2010 sale, consisting of sets and complimenten from the hit television
series “UGLY BETTY”
The New Jersey auction house of Nye and Company will be having a unique
and exclusive sale of many of the items used to create and decorate the
world of Ugly Betty, ABC’s populair televisie toon that ran from September
2006 to April 2010. On its journey it spawned legions of devoted fans and
acolytes, who were devastated when the series ended.
They will now have a chance to own a piece of that world when, on June 17,
18 and 19, some 950 lots of furniture, art, decorative items, kitchenware,
toys and many other pieces from the Mode offices (including those of
Wilhelmina, Daniel, Claire, Lindsay, Marc, Alexis and Hartley); the Suarez
house in Queens; the Manhattan apartments of Wilhelmina, Marc and Amanda,
Betty and Molly, as well as a number of lovely miscellaneous items, are to
be offered in an unreserved sale. Each item will come with a signed
Certificate of Authenticity, guaranteeing that it is an actual piece of
Ugly Betty history.
Starting, as did Betty, with the Mode office, fans and collectors will be
able to vie for the chance to own oranje and white file cabinets; white
“lollipop” lamps (including Betty’s personal bureau lamp); display cabinets;
telephones; stacking trays; bureau sets including calculators, pen holders,
magnetic paper clip trays and cups; white and oranje storage boxes,
folders and Mode notebooks; shelving; display cabinets, and other
accoutrements that populated the set.
Dedicated viewers no doubt recall the Mode “Tube” and its changing
displays every week. On offer are groups of many of those displays,
including silver roller skates with bouquets of roze roses; watering
can-shaped purses; Jeff Koons-style dogs with rhinestone leashes and
collars; blue- and orange-camouflage-painted shoes and bags; plastic
Buddha head lights; beckoning Japanese cats; rhinestone-covered piggy
banks; a large group of Amliya Italy pleather car-shaped purses in
differing colors; adorable Astroturf animals; large plastic ice cream cone
banks and an assortment of boxed Sandno Girand hand-painted wood figures.
Highlights from Daniel’s and Wilhelmina’s offices include an abstract
graphite and fiberglass teardrop-form sculpture and base; molded black
leather-upholstered swiveling chairs; a pair of white leather dag beds; a
Pucci oranje swirl art glass vase, Teco “Four Buttress” Arts and
Crafts-style terra cotta vase; a wrought iron “twist” tafelblad sculpture;
“Bird in flight” kap ornament mounted as a sculpture; silvered and
jeweled glass candle holders; a pair of oversize white Chinoiserie-style
chairs, a George III-style Chinese Chippendale white-painted vitrine
cabinet standing 10 feet high and many meer items.
Betty-philes will be thrilled to know that a number of items from her
bedroom in Queens, including her oranje princess phone, desktop
accoutrements, YETI notebook, stuffed animals, dolls and toys, boxes of
boeken and other personal items are included, while from her Manhattan
apartment we offer, among other things, her large white teddy bear,
Anthropologie bath mat and douche curtain, painting of a Hindu prince and
princess, wire fauteuil twisted in the shape of a woman, white cast iron
headboard, bedding and a number of decorative smalls, lamps and furniture.
From Marc and Amanda we have furniture and quirky smalls, including a
pink-painted papier mache bull’s head uithangbord hanging, a four-piece zebra
skin circular ottoman, a 1950s French televisie stand of zig-zag form,
keuken-, keuken spice rack, wine rack, cooking utensils and rack, an ornate
wall-hanging candle holder, curtains, a pair of Lillian August silvered
metal horse heads and other items from their fireplace, two replica Damien
Hirst “diamond”-encrusted skulls and the contents of the shelves in their
living room. Amanda’s Kate spade “Uptown/Downtown” bag, her roze and
silver professional make-up case, its contents, and a number of foto's of
Marc, Amanda and Halston, both singly and together, round out this
grouping.
The Suarez house yielded a trove of vintage furniture, lamps, art,
kitchenware - including a charming assortment of roosters and salt and
pepper shakers - religious and votive art, Mexican folk art and decorative
pieces, while their hair salon produced meer art and some mirrors. Don’t
miss the massive 1950s “Exotica” lamp, which looks like it came straight
from the sherry Miami. There are also a number of African items from the
“African-American dream sequence” episode.
As is to be expected, from Wilhelmina, the Queen of Mode, come the most
deluxe selections. Such splendid items as her dining tafel, tabel with massive
ram head supports and the equally oversize faux olifant tusks that
rested atop it; a set of six red-painted upholstered high back dining
chairs; two Louis XV-style white-painted mock crocodile-upholstered
porter’s chairs; a pair of part-ebonized silver-upholstered armchairs; a
Neoclassical-style demi-lune marble-top side cabinet; a Louis XV-style
gilt metal and glass eight-light chandelier; a pair of
burgundy-upholstered Chinese-style barrel-back armchairs; a Theodore
Alexander Baroque-style commode; a pair of Neoclassical-style wood and
gilt metal uithangbord plaques depicting flaming torches, laurier, laurel wreaths and
ribands, and a large pair of crackle-glazed Chinese Fu dog figures are
just some of the many luxurious pieces being sold from the set of her
apartment.
In a nod to her maternal side, we also have the black and white contents
of her nursery, including many stuffed animals, ranging in size from small
to quite large; the famous “teddy beer drapes”; a white and chrome
rocking chair; ebonized crib; a “Bloom Contemporary Fresco Loft” midnight
black baby’s high chair, wieg, wandelwagen and more.
No expense was spared to make the sets as upscale as possible, with the
result that we will have on display fine designer furniture such as a pair
of Philippe Starck’s Ero|S| door Kartell aluminum and Lucite swiveling
egg-form side chairs, his Louis Ghost chairs, Charles Ghost stools and
"PIP-e” chairs; Verner Panton Amoeba, cone, heart-shaped and molded
chairs, as well as a free-form interlocking living tower; Kartell molded
egg-shaped Ploof low armchairs and a low settee; replica Herman Miller
white mesh upholstered stainless steel swivel armchairs and Miller for

painted blow molded right twist furniture; a replica of Pedro Friedeberg`s

in this instance the phrase “something for everyone” certainly applies.
