On 24 June 2014 Sotheby’s New York will present A Rock & Roll History: Presley to Punk, the first dedicated music history sale at Sotheby’s for over a decade. The auction will be led by important manuscripts that illuminate the golden years of rock music history including original Bob Dylan lyrics and Jimi Hendrix’s infamous first contract. In addition there are vintage promotional materials, unseen photographs, instruments, and ephemera relating to Elvis Presley, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream, and Bruce Springsteen.
Richard Austin, Head of the Presley to Punk sale said: “Rock music is the dominant cultural medium of the mid and late 20th century. With lyrics, contracts, instruments and other material from some of the most influential musicians of this transformative time, this sale celebrates the performers that have gripped the world for the past sixty years.”
