Est. $3,500-$5,000 Brian Wilson Playing Tennis W/Steve Love "The Beach Boys" NEVER BEFORE SEEN Photo Negative 1978 Australia in Envelope W/Milton Love's Typed Notes on It - These negative is from the estate of Milton Love, and was discovered in a drawer of a dresser that was purchased. These photos have never been released or seen by anyone outside of the Love/Wilson families. Milton Love is the father of one of the most famous Beach Boys, Mike Love (AKA Dr. Love). This photo negative depicts Brian Wilson with Steve Love in Sydney, Australia in 1978 playing tennis while on a break while a concert tour was in progress. There are typed written notes from Milton Love on the envelope. Father Love passed away, and these items were never meant for release, as the family always assumed that someone had cleaned out the drawers of the dresser prior to selling it. The Beach Boys are America's biggest band, and are a rock legend. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a legendary piece of iconic history that no one has ever seen. We have only photographed the envelopes with the slide(s) inside, as the new buyer will be the owner of the photograph(s) and will have the choice to release it, or not. There has never been anything like this offered at auction. We have personally spoken with a representative for The Beach Boys, and they confirmed that this is part of the "Milton Love Lost Collection." All photo negatives are available for private viewing (by appointment only), you may schedule an appointment by emailing: Brigitte@gwsauctions.com. All previews will require a signed "Non-Disclosure" prior to viewing.
