ArtInfo.com reports that
LED ZEPPELIN guitarist
Jimmy Page and '80s band
SPANDAU BALLET's
Gary Kemp are selling rare works at
Sotheby's on March 20 in the largest-ever auction of British design from the 19th and 20th centuries, the
Telegraph reports.
The auction, worth more than $5.94 million, is the first either at
Sotheby's or
Christie's to be organized by a dealer.
Paul Reeves, a clothes designer to rock stars in the 1960s, is organizing the sale, which features a abundance of rare handmade Arts and Crafts designs.
Both
Page and
Kemp are offering works that new homes cannot properly accommodate.
Page is selling a 24-foot-long Burne-Jones tapestry, The Quest for the Holy Grail: The Achievement, which is estimated to bring a record $1.98 million, and five Burne-Jones stained-glass windows, estimated at $49,500 to $69,300 each.
