A series of hand-written letters from Britney
Spears to her high school boyfriend will also be offered for
sale in the Music Icons event at Julien's Auctions in Beverly
Hills.
The lyrics to Dylan's 1969 song, written in pencil on a sheet of
notepaper from a lumber company, carry an estimate of
$500,000-600,000.
"That's the most expensive item in the auction in June. It's
with all the hand notations from Bob Dylan, including chord
notations," said Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's.
Cobain's self-portrait is a caricature in black felt pen that he
drew in 1992 during a tour in Singapore for his punk band
Nirvana's "Nevermind" album.
It depicts the late singer playing the guitar with the words "I
don't know how to play and I don't give a hoot!" Cobain
memorabilia has soared in price in recent years; an acoustic
guitar he played in 1993 sold for $6 million last year.
The collection of letters between Spears and her boyfriend
Donald "Reg" Jones were written just as her pop career was about
to explode in the late 1990s, and carry an estimate of
$4,000-6,000.
"It’s sort of part of her pop culture history and part of her
journey, if you will," said Nolan.
Five Charvel EVH Art Series electric guitars designed and played
by Eddie Van Halen, who died of a stroke in October 2020, are
expected to sell for up to $50,000 each.
"He signed each of the guitars. He actually dated the tour that
he played each of these individual guitars," said Nolan.
The two-day auction will take place in Beverly Hills from June
12-13.
