Motown Poster is Highlight of Record-Breaking Auction
The 1965 poster featured Stevie Wonder and sold for over $52,000.
Tuesday, December 20, 2005
A collectable poster once owned by music mogul David Gest sold for over $52,000 as part of one of the largest rock and pop memorabilia auctions of its kind ever.
A collector who bought 160 of Gest's posters auctioned 80 of them off at the latest It's Only Rock 'n' Roll sale, which broke the auction house's record with all 1,392 lots making a staggering $1.5 million.
But the highlight was Gest's Biggest Show of Stars 1965 poster, which promoted a Columbus, Ohio show featuring Motown legends Stevie Wonder, Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, The Four Tops and The Spinners, among others.
The rest of the David Gest Collection will be sold at auction in the spring.
Gest is currently embroiled in a series of legal battles with his estranged wife Liza Minelli.
