Chelsea Hotel Doors Auction, by Buff Monster Fan on Mar 21, 2018 18:02:04 GMT 1, Not art per se, but I thought that these were really interesting. If you're not familiar, the Chelsea is a legendary hotel in NYC's Chelsea neighborhood, short and long term home to dozens of musicians, artists, authors and actors for dozens of years.
These doors appear to be taken from the rooms of some of the longer term residents. For example, Warhol shot scenes from his "Chelsea Girls" film in his room and Bob Marley lived in his room from 1970-1971.

irl1- No reserve, other than the starting price
