Elton John put several hundred personal items up for auction at Christie's in New York. The sale event, which runs until February 28, marks the singer's final goodbye to his Atlanta home.
The 924 lots consist of stage costumes, jewelry, and other clothing from his colossal wardrobe. An impressive collection of signed photographs (Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, etc.) is also on sale. The exceptional collection on sale reflects the star's touching extravagance.
