Auction Details
RR Auction's Marvels of Modern Music sale lives up to its name in November 2022, with an unprecedented selection of autographs, stage-used memorabilia, concert posters, and vinyl records. The auction is led by a remarkable archive of love letters by the teenage Bob Dylan, plus some of the earliest known signed photographs of him as a high schooler—these materials project his path to stardom, outlining his dreams of changing his name, becoming a singer, and selling a million records. Another highlight of the sale comes in several original drawings by fellow shaper of '60s pop culture, Edie Sedgwick, the Warhol superstar who befriended Dylan at the Chelsea Hotel. Further items of note include Billy Joel's concert-used piano, apparel from Prince's stage-worn wardrobe, rare and exemplary autographs of The Doors, and signatures of the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, and more.
