Our expert's notes

A pair of hand-drawn Ralph McQuarrie "Mom" spaceship illustration sheets from the production of Matthew Robbins' sci-fi comedy *batteries not included. Tenants on the brink of eviction from their apartment complex, including Frank and Faye Riley (Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy), were visited by a pair of extraterrestrial living spaceships: the blue-eyed "Mom" ship and the red-eyed "Pop".

Conceptual artist McQuarrie created these illustrations during pre-production as part of his extensive design work for the ships. One sheet is labelled "Sheet 22" and "mom 'e'", and features three spaceships rendered in marker and coloured pencil on drawing paper, as well as the address of McQuarrie's Berkeley office. The other sheet is labeled "spinning heights on take off", and features five spaceships rendered in pen and marker on drawing paper. Both sheets exhibit pinholes from hanging and minor creases from use. Dimensions: 29.25 cm x 23 cm (111/2" x 9")
