Christie’s, the leading art business and a fine arts auction house founded in 1766, have announced plans for a punk-themed auction. Set for November 24th, the auction will feature memorabilia from Ramones, The Clash, Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols, Blondie, the Cure and Patti Smith among others.

“We understand that tastes change, tastes mature. Ten years ago, punk memorabilia probably wouldn’t be something we’d be auctioning here. But now, people of a certain age have a certain ability to splurge on this material.

Some choice lots include a rare poster for the famous 1976 Ramones show in London which led to the formation of numerous British punk bands including The Clash, Sex Pistols and others. Various items are expected to command between $300 and $6,000 apiece.
