Art Catalogue

This is probably the most beautiful item in this compilation. After Michael Crichton's death in 2008, his estate decided to part with his impressive collection of art, through an auction that took place at Christies in 2010. The corresponding catalogue takes the reader through Michael Crichton's home, to see the works of art as he had placed them. This unique view into his home and into his artistic mind provides great insights about  Michael Crichton that will be treasured by any of his admirers. It is delivered together with a small-size booklet with an identical cover, with a page-by-page listing of all the auctioned items.

Fimucite 4 Tenerife hosts the annual International Festival of Film Music FIMUCITÉ. In 2010 it honoured John Williams and his works for Steven Spielberg. The book published by the Festival includes chapters on Jurassic Park and The Lost World written by Andrés Brito with extensive commentaries about Michael Crichton.
