All hail the King of New York! Tonight during our inaugural Hip Hop auction, one of the most iconic symbols of Hip Hop’s heyday: the crown 👑 worn and signed by Notorious B.I.G. from @barronclaiborne’s iconic 1997 ‘King of New York’ photoshoot for Rap Pages Magazine sold for $600,000. The photograph is one of the most recognizable images in Hip Hop culture and it has endured as the defining portrait of the artist more than 20 years since it was taken. Achieving an overall total of $2 million, the auction was a celebration of the history and cultural impact Hip Hop has had on art and culture from the late 1970s through the “Golden Age” of the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, and up to the present. A majority of items included in the sale were consigned directly from Hip Hop’s most pivotal and well-known artists and figures, several of who will be sharing their proceeds with a variety of charities. A portion of Sotheby’s own proceeds from the sale will benefit the Hip Hop programs at the @qplnyc, as well as @buildingbeats, a non-profit community organization that teaches tech, entrepreneurial and leadership skills to underserved youth through DJ and music programs. #hiphop #hiphopmusic #notoriousbig #biggiesmalls #barronclaiborne #HipHopxSothebys #QPLHipHop

Među prodatim predmetima na Sotbijevoj prvoj aukciji posvećenoj hip-hop memorabilijama su i 22 ljubavna pisma koja je reper Tupak Šakur napisao Kejti Loj 80-ih dok su zajedno pohađali Umetničku školu u Baltimoru.

Tupak je ubijen u pucnjavi u Las Vegasu u septembru 1996. godine kada je imao 25 godina.

Njegova ljubavna pisma postigla su cenu od 75.600 dolara.

U njima Tupak izjavljuje ljubav Kejti i piše o pomirenju s tim što je raskinula njihovu vezu, uključujući i pismo kajanja poslato godinu dana kasnije. Pisma takođe otkrivaju da je reper često bio nesiguran i da se plašio odbijanja.
