About Helen
I started my career at Christie’s and became Head of Entertainment Memorabilia at Christie’s, New York in 2005. The biggest thrill of my career was bringing to auction the Estate of Marlon Brando in 2005 but I have been involved in so many exciting celebrity Estates and auctions, including The Estates Of Clark Gable and Stan Laurel and The John Lennon Collection of “Magic” Alex Mardas.
As a Christie’s auctioneer, I feel like the luckiest person ever to have brought down the hammer on such gems as Marlon Brando’s script for “The Godfather” and the drum from the cover of the Beatles LP “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”.
Since leaving Christie’s, I have brokered record-breaking sales of memorabilia, including Kurt Cobain’s Fender Mustang guitar and Sid Vicious’ Swastika t-shirt, and I work with private collectors to research and authenticate pieces in their collections.
I have consulted for Christie’s and Phillips auction houses and work closely with some of the world’s most important museums and institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, Cleveland and the Experience Music Project, Seattle.
