Helen Hall, Head of Sale said, “The incredible result of today’s sale reinforces Christie’s position as market leader in the field of entertainment memorabilia with strong prices across the board and participation from bidders worldwide. We were thrilled with the results of the Estate of Stan Laurel which achieved over $100,000, and for the price of the pink cocktail dress worn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s which is a testament to the everlasting allure of Audrey Hepburn.”
