Hundreds of memorabilia belonging to the late six-time Grammy Award-winning artist Amy Winehouse will be auctioned in the United States, with an estimated total value of around $2 million. The most notable items will be displayed in various locations around the world, including Europe, the US, and South America, for fans to admire before Julien's auction house holds the auction in Beverly Hills, California, from November 6-7.
Amy's collection of over 800 memorabilia items, including shoes, clothes, books, and audio tapes, notably the outfit she wore during her final performance in Belgrade, Serbia, which perfectly reflects Amy Winehouse's distinctive personal style, is estimated to be worth around $20,000.
Julien's CEO, Martin Nolan, said Amy Winehouse's parents shared that auctioning off her memorabilia was not an easy decision, but they understood it was a way for the world to preserve her legacy and remember the talented British singer. The proceeds from the auction will go to her charity, established to support young people struggling with alcohol and drug addiction.
