Popular Culture


At Christie’s, Pop Culture is where exceptional objects from the defining moments of contemporary culture come to market. Presented across our international salerooms and online platforms, our auctions encompass extraordinary music memorabilia, rare film props, original screen-worn wardrobe, significant instruments and personal artefacts from some of the most influential figures in contemporary culture and entertainment history.


Among the landmark works we have presented are Marilyn Monroe’s iconic ‘Happy Birthday’ dress, the Aston Martin DB5 stunt car driven by James Bond in No Time To Die, Eric Clapton’s ‘Blackie’ Stratocaster, and Audrey Hepburn’s working script for Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Whether you are selling a single treasured object or a comprehensive collection, our international team of specialists will work closely with you to determine the optimal strategy for achieving outstanding results. Contact us to arrange a complimentary and confidential valuation.

In addition to our public auctions, Christie’s also facilitates private sales of exceptional Pop Culture memorabilia, connecting collectors discreetly and expertly with objects of the highest calibre.
