Elton John’s Massive ‘Goodbye Peachtree Road’ Auction Features One-of-a-Kind Stage Costumes, Piano, Museum-Quality Art
Elton John's massive art, costume, jewelry and photography collection from his Atlanta home will go on sale beginning Friday (Feb. 9).
On Thursday (Feb. 8), John’s husband and manager, David Furnish, spoke to Good Morning America about the sale while spotlighting some of the most interesting pieces going under the gavel starting Friday (Feb. 9). The collection comprised of photography, art and objects collected by John since 1991 at his Peachtree Road apartment in Atlanta’s Buckhead neighborhood includes everything from pieces by British artists Damien Hirst and Banksy, as well as ones from iconic American artists Julian Schnabel, Andy Warhol, Robert Mapplethorpe and Keith Haring, a pair of John’s silver leather platform boots from 1971. Other highlights include pictures by photographers Herb Ritts, Richard Avendon, Bruce Weber, Helmut Newton and Cindy Sherman, paintings by American minimalist artist Sol Lewitt, elaborate stage costumes (including one of his first outrageously colorful custom concert outfits from 1971), Rolex watches, a sapphire ring, a Versace set of Rosenthal china and hundreds of individually printed silk shirts by his late friend Gianni Versace.
