Lots...



"It's such a human condition, whether you're a great track star or a great knitting person or you paint watercolours - someone knows who you are." Tony Curtis

What do a "trick pony mechanical bank", a set of Miguel Berrocal sculptures, several Jan Stussy watercolours, assorted pistols, twenty trinket boxes, a portable artist's easel, a collection of books about Marilyn Monroe, numerous Art Nouveau theatre posters and a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am convertible car have in common?

They are all lots in the forthcoming Tony Curtis auction!

Visit the auction site

You can even pick up items from his wardrobe, original costumes from Some Like It Hot, his correspondence, awards, and (bizarrely) his driving licence!

Is it me, or is this all a little ghoulish?
