Actress Elizabeth Taylor has signed a deal to give Christie’s exclusive rights to handle future sales of her jewellery, art work, memorabilia, clothing and other personal possessions, the auction house said on Wednesday.
“When the items I’ve collected are cared for by other people I hope they will be loved and respected in a sharing way,” said Taylor, 74, of her decision to see her property auctioned in the future.
“Eventually, they will be passed on to others … but not too soon!” added the native of England who was made a dame of the British Empire in 2000.
The deal “marks a fantastic continuation of our many years of work with this stunning film legend, humanitarian and designer,” Christie’s Americas Chairman Stephen Lash said in a joint statement with the actresses.
