Christie's auction house announced on Tuesday they will be auctioning off some of the punk rock era's most precious memorabilia. Included in the lots are 120 records, photos, promotional pieces, posters, etc...for legends such as the Ramones, Bowie, Velvet Underground and the Sex Pistols.
“We understand that tastes change, tastes mature,” said Christie’s pop-culture chief Simeon Lipman. “Ten years ago, punk memorabilia probably wouldn’t be something we’d be auctioning here. But now, people of a certain age have a certain ability to splurge on this material.”
Bids are expected to range in the low hundreds and upward thousands of dollars. View lots here.
It'll be interesting to see who bids on these historic relics of the 70's and 80's...and witness the tragic marriage of the anti-establishment and the boujis auction house.
