I received an e-mail from Christie’s New York advertising their upcoming education class series “Seeing the Stars: Inside the World of Entertainment Memorabilia”.
The class is described as follows:
Christie’s Education and Christie’s Pop Culture
Department are pleased to offer an exciting new
course dedicated to Entertainment Memorabilia.
The course will include lectures from experts in the
field who will explore the worlds of rock and roll and
film memorabilia, including vintage guitars,
handwritten lyrics by music legends, costumes,
props, autographs, movie posters and more in a
concise, fast-paced course. The course will culminate
in a sale walkthrough and reception with a Christie’s
specialist.
The lectures will take place at Christie’s Education,
11 West 42nd Street, on three consecutive
Wednesday evenings and one Friday from 6:00 to
8:00 p.m. beginning May 28 through June 20.

I inquired as to the expert(s)/instructor(s) for the original prop and wardrobe-related classes, and received additional information from Christie’s…
The speakers will include representatives from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Hard Rock Café and the Museum of Moving Images. Simeon Lipman, Christie’s Pop Culture specialist, will be the final speaker for the sale walk through.
There is also an option to sign up for a single session at $160.
