Pattie Boyd was at the epicenter of the Swinging ’60s, but not always the center of attention. The model and photographer, who was often in the shadow of her rock icon husbands George Harrison and Eric Clapton, comes into sharp focus through a trove of letters, photos, and other items she is selling at Christie’s, per the AP. The collection, which went on public display at the Christie’s London headquarters on Friday, provides a glimpse into the heart of the 1960s and ’70s counterculture. The 111 lots up for sale include affectionate letters from both Harrison and Clapton, alongside clothing, jewelry, drawings, and photographs—some of Boyd, and some by her.
