From Silvio Berlusconi’s bed to Casanova’s memoirs (the most expensive manuscript in history), via the Statue of Liberty’s nose and an X-ray of Marilyn Monroe’s chest, here is a remarkable record of some of the quirkiest, most unexpected and sometimes bizarre possessions that have changed hands in the last year – some costing millions, some only pennies (or even nothing at all). Ranging from rare historical artefacts (such as Marie-Antoinette’s pearls) to the weirdly iconic (Elvis’s medicine cabinet, anyone?), by turns ingenious, intriguing and witty, this is a brilliant and teasing insight into the culture of our time, packed with extraordinary things to amuse, inspire or amaze.
