Will you marry me?
The wedding dress worn by Madonna in her Like a Virgin video will go under the hammer at the Palms Resort and Casino on in Las Vegas on 15 and 16 March as part of what is billed as “the best pop culture collection ever assembled” – ranging from Harrison Ford’s bullwhip from the first three “Indiana Jones” films to the Wicked Witch of the West’s hat from “The Wizard of Oz” and Christopher Reeve’s costume from the first two “Superman” films.
The Pugliese Collection may well be the finest collection focusing on 20th Century pop culture ever privately assembled, with approximately eight hundred and fifty of the most extraordinary objects imaginable from the worlds of motion pictures, popular music, magic, television and politics were gathered over several decades by Anthony Pugliese, a man who might well be described as a true visionary, the auction house explained.
“This collection is as good as it gets,” said Arlan Ettinger, president of the Guernsey’s auction house. “Most collections have one or two great things and then things trail off from there,” he said. “This collection, there would have to be 100 items here, any one of which would be a star attraction anywhere else.”
