LED ZEPPELIN Guitarist Selling Rare Works At British Design Auction

February 5, 2008

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.
