The final hammer has fallen on the Jeff Beck auction at Christie's, which included over 130 guitars, amps, and tools-of-the-trade that the legendary musician used throughout his quasi-six-decades-long career. With all items sold, the sale generated a total of $10,746,430 (£8,727,284) – which is more than eight times the pre-sale estimates.
“We are thrilled with the results of Jeff Beck’s incredible collection, which pay testament to the legacy of a genius – a globally-revered true rock legend,” comments Amelia Walker, Christie’s Specialist Head of Private & Iconic Collections, London. “Passionate bidders competed for every lot in the sale, with each achieving many multiples of their pre-sale estimate.”
