Cobain's sweater sells for $14.8K
The sweater worn by Kurt Cobain during Nirvana's 1993's MTV: Unplugged performance sold at an auction on Saturday for a massive $140,800. Four months after the taping of the show, Cobain committed suicide in a living space above his garage in his home on Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle.
According to Auction house Julien's, the sweater (which came to auction by way of a “friend” of the Cobain family) was expected to fetch at least 100K. The description for the sweater that was listed in Julien's “Icons and Idols: Rock N Roll” auction read: “A blend of acrylic, mohair and Lycra with five-button closure (one button absent), with two exterior pockets, a burn hole and discoloration near left pocket and discoloration on right pocket.”
However, there's word on who the lucky owner of this very expensive piece of grunge history is.
