LARRY KING (1933–2021)

This presentation features one of the most recognizable personal items associated with Larry King — his original red suspenders, an iconic element of the legendary American broadcaster’s signature appearance. Throughout a career spanning more than six decades, King interviewed presidents, world leaders, actors, musicians, and cultural figures, becoming one of the defining voices of modern television journalism.

The suspenders presented here originate from Larry King’s personal collection and were acquired at an auction in Los Angeles. More than a wardrobe accessory, they became part of his unmistakable public identity and are closely associated with the image seen by millions of viewers around the world. The composition is complemented by a portrait photograph depicting Larry King wearing these very suspenders, reinforcing the provenance and historical context of the piece.

Presented in Krilov Art’s artist-designed framing concept, the original object and the accompanying photograph are brought together as a single curated display. The restrained gallery-style presentation highlights the authenticity of the artifact while preserving its connection to one of the most influential figures in contemporary broadcasting.

With documented auction provenance and a direct association with Larry King himself, this work holds particular appeal for collectors of television history, journalism memorabilia, and twentieth-century American popular culture. It also represents a distinctive and meaningful gift for admirers of influential personalities whose legacy shaped the modern media landscape.
