The Jim Irsay Collection electrified New York, achieving US$94.5 million, to become the highest-grossing memorabilia auction in history. Across four sales, the collection set 28 world records, sold 100% by lot and almost quadrupled its low estimate.
Led by David Gilmour’s famed ‘Black Strat’ realising US$14.6 million, the sale established a new auction record for any guitar and awarded Christie’s the record for top three highest sold guitars at auction. Jerry Garcia’s custom-built ‘Tiger’ guitar achieved US$11.6 million, while the original typescript scroll for Jack Kerouac’s On the Road brought US$12.1 million, setting a new world record for a literary manuscript.
Additionally, Kurt Cobain’s 1969 Fender Mustang from the ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ video realised US$6.9 million and Secretariat’s race-used 1973 Triple Crown saddle, achieved US$1.52 million, a record for any horseracing object.
