COLLECTOR’S WORLD
glitz and glamour Entertainment
There’s an endless supply of it coming to market, as celebrity idols come and go—check out the Hollywood auction that’s highlighted by Michael Jackson, John Lennon, Johnny Cash and many other stars of past eras. By Katherine Temple
collectors, some of whom collect for the pure fun of it while others have more than half an eye on the investment value of their purchases. As we go to press with this issue of Arts &
T
Collections, Hollywood is the setting for a sale of some of the most iconic—there is no other word for it—items from the wardrobes of the likes of Michael Jackson, Johnny Cash, John Lennon, and a host of other great stars. The Julien’s Auctions sale includes items
from Johnny Cash’s military career, through his life and partnership with June Carter Cash, into his time as a Highwayman with his friends through the end of his career. Highlights in the sale are lyrics personally
penned by Cash. The lyrics include Cash’s takes on traditional songs, an alternate version of ‘Don’t Take Your Guns To Town’ (est. $2,000/4,000) and many songs that have never been recorded. Three guitars from different points in Cash’s
career are included in this auction—a vintage 1951 Martin guitar used by Cash in studio that later became the designated tour bus guitar (est. $20,000/30,000). The second guitar is a Grammer Johnny Cash model used extensively by Cash on The Johnny Cash Show and later inscribed by Cash, ‘To Richard/ Play It Pretty/ Johnny Cash’ ($30,000/40,000). The third guitar offered for sale is also a Martin used by Cash in the 1980s and gifted to his friend Bill Miller. This guitar can be seen on the cover of the live album The Survivors. It has been inscribed by Cash with the first four lines of ‘I Walk the Line’ (est. $20,000/30,000).
