Written by SOURCE on November 19, 2019
Hundreds of highly coveted Supreme items will be auction off beginning next week.
As part of Christie’s Handbags X Hype event, the online auction will feature 150 lots of Supreme-branded goods that were released throughout the brand’s 25-year history. Highlights include a Coleman mini bike (estimated to sell for $3,000 to $5,000), the Stern Pinball Machine (estimated: $30,000 to $50,000), a white Fender Stratocaster guitar (estimate: $3,000 to $5,00), a Louis Vuitton Monogram Malle Courrier 90 Trunk ($50,000 to $60,000), and a range of skateboard decks made in collaboration with artists like Damien Hirst, KAWS, and Jeff Koons.
“Over the past 20-plus years, Supreme has gone from a brand servicing skaters who were often considered rebels, to becoming a highly respected, highly sought-after collecting category in its own right,” Christie’s director of sales Caitlin Donovan said in a statement. “It was the first of the streetwear and ‘hype’ brands to forge the path to an entirely new market and audience of collectors. Supreme has been a cultural lightning rod. Through supply and demand it has transformed young male retail shoppers into secondary market collectors and connoisseurs.”
According to WWD, the event is expected to rack in between $232,300 to $345,800. The online auction will launch Nov. 26 and conclude Dec. 10. You can head to Christie’s website now to check out the Supreme lots.
