Several exclusive shoe designers created their own 21st Century version of Dorothy's famous Ruby Slippers for "The Wizard of Oz Ruby Slipper Collection," which traveled for about one year. The entire collection was displayed at theSwarovski "Crystallized" flagship store in New York City during the September 10-23, 2009, auction period, and culminated with a final exhibit at Warner Brothers' "Emerald Gala," held at the prestigious "Tavern On The Green" on September 24, 2009.This exclusive "Wizard of Oz" 70th Anniversary Collection was selected for the art gallery of a waterfront island home that was under construction, but never completed.The collection of ballet shoes, display case, and large 29" x 39" framedgiclee of the designer's original sketch was valued at $10,000 on the Charity Folks auction website. (The autographed Ruby Ballet Slippers have never been worn.)If you are a fan of "The Wizard of Oz" and/or GiuseppeZanotti, you will be thrilled with this exceptional, one-of-a-kind designer art collection.Please Note: There is a small, semi-repaired chip on the lower left corner of thegiclee's frame. I received the artwork inthat condition, as Charity Folks explained that thechip occurred at some point during the year-long celebration.IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFO:DELIVERY WILL BE DIVIDED INTO THREE (3) SEPARATE SHIPMENTS AND MUST BE DELIVERED TO A PHYSICAL ADDRESS AND SIGNED FOR BY THE BUYER OR AN AUTHORIZED AGENT.NOEXCEPTIONS.
