On a tangentially related note, here is a short list of culturally significant items currently approaching public auction:
- Cormac McCarthy’s typewriter, used to compose just about everything the author has written to date.
- The musical arsenal of Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor’s longtime musical entity.
- Several of Audrey Hepburn’s gowns, via Sotheby’s (which has its own relationship with Minor).
