^Lot 1107 Elizabeth Taylor

Signed book: My Love Affair with Jewelry. First edition. NY: Simon & Schuster, 2002. Hardcover with dustjacket, 10 x 12.5, 239 pages. Signed and inscribed on the title page to Dr. Arnold Klein: "My Beloved Arnie / I love you more than I could tell-I feel you have saved my fading life. I love and thank you forever, Your Elizabeth T." In fine condition, with a few pages separated from spine. Klein, the noted Beverly Hills dermatologist, philanthropist, and ultimate Hollywood insider, was for many years a close personal friend and confidant to Taylor. It took Christies two days to conduct the sale of Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry in 2011 and it brought an astounding $137 million. This more than doubled the previous record for a single owner's jewelry auction held by the Duchess of Windsor.
