新奇事件簿 摇滚明星柯本羊毛衫拍卖

A cardigan that was worn by the singer Kurt Cobain during a live appearance on MTV has broken the record for the most expensive cardigan ever sold at auction¹. An anonymous² buyer forked out an astonishing $334,000 for the piece of apparel. The cardigan was part of a two-day sale of rock memorabilia at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York. It attracted a lot of attention pre-auction when the auction house described it as being "one of the most famous sweaters in music history". Cobain wore the olive green acrylic and mohair cardigan while performing live on the TV show MTV Unplugged in November 1993 with his band Nirvana. He played a largely acoustic³ set of his favorite songs and cover songs.

歌手科特·柯本在MTV现场演出时穿过的一件羊毛衫打破了拍卖会上最贵羊毛衫的纪录。一位匿名买家花了33.4万美元买下了这件衣服。纽约Hard Rock Cafe餐厅举办了一个为期两天的摇滚纪念品销售，这件羊毛衫是其中一个。这件毛衣在拍卖前吸引了很多人的注意，拍卖行称它是“音乐史上最著名的毛衣之一”。1993年11月，柯本和他的乐队Nirvana在电视节目《MTV Unplugged》现场表演时，穿着橄榄绿的腈纶马海毛羊毛衫。他演奏了他最喜欢的原声歌曲和翻唱歌曲。

The cardigan was made by the maker⁴ Manhattan. It has reportedly never been washed since Cobain last wore it and has a hole in it from a cigarette burn. The cardigan was previously⁵ bought in 2015 by a buyer who wished to remain anonymous but has since spoken about his purchase. The owner described the responsibility he felt in owning such a famous piece of rock and roll history. He told reporters: "I thought, 'Oh, now I'm also going to be responsible for this.' It was kind of like when my children were born years ago - I was so happy to see them, but then I was like, 'Oh no.'" For those who cannot afford auctions⁶, Mr Cobain's daughter has started a fashion collection called Kurt Was Here.

这件羊毛衫是曼哈顿的制造商制造的。报道称，自从柯本穿过这件衣服后，就再也没有洗过，上边还有一个被香烟烫伤的洞。2015年，一位不愿透露姓名的买家曾购买过这款羊毛衫，但后来他公开了自己的购买经历。该所有者描述了拥有一件有著名摇滚历史衣服所感受到的责任。他告诉记者：“我想，‘哦，现在我也要对它负责了。’这就像几年前我的孩子出生的时候，我看到他们很高兴，但是我说，‘哦，不。’”对于那些负担不起拍卖的人，柯本的女儿发起了一个名为Kurt Was Here的时尚收藏。
