Can’t Afford Liz Taylor Gem, How About a $2,500 Catalog?

While catalogs from individual auctions of her memorabilia can be had for as little as $60, the crown jewel for collectors is an ultra limited edition, boxed set of the gem sale catalog accompanied by a signed copy of Taylor’s out-of-print 2002 book, “My Love Affair With Jewelry.” Packaged in a lavender presentation box, it’s going for $2,500. Only 25 are available, with profits going toward Taylor’s AIDS Foundation. The same set, minus Taylor’s signature, is available for $600.

Christie’s said printing the catalogs constituted one of the auction house’s most monumental publishing projects ever.
