The collection features some very notable celebrities and public figures.
The Los Angeles Public Library won a $144,000 bid to purchase a collection of celebrity photos taken by the late Jon Verzi.
The photos are 2×2 inches each and mainly feature candid photographs, as Verzi had a great deal of access to the Hollywood scene through the press pass he obtained from a friend who published a fan magazine throughout the 1990s, according to Bonhams. However, Verzi requested that his collection not be sold until his death. The photographer died in 2018.that the idea to purchase the collection started as a joke.
