The 100 Helmets of THE VADER PROJECT are ready for Auction!
Following the successful 10-day Los Angeles Auction Preview, The Vader Project is ready for auction. The iconic collection features 100 Darth Vader Helmets re-imagined by today’s most notable artists
Collectors and art connoisseurs worldwide will have the opportunity to bid online at Freeman’s website, www.freemansauction.com. Most bidding will begin at $1,500.
DKE Toys in conjunction with Freeman’s produced a 200-plus page, full-color, limited edition catalog that features all 100 helmets, artist bios and some history on the project.

The Vader Project features 100 of the best underground artists and designers working today. “From a simple idea in 2005 to a record-setting exhibition in 2009, it’s time for our child to venture forth into the world,” Kelemer and Marks said. “We are pleased to have partnered with Freeman’s to make these fine pieces of art available to the public for the first time.”
For this unique project, each artist customized a 1:1 scale authentic prop replica of the actual Darth Vader helmet featured in the STAR WARS™ films.
