Offers can be submitted online until January 15th. This Stones backdrop can currently be seen in the Groninger Museum in the exhibition “The Rolling Stones – Unzipped”.
The apartment that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones lived in the Chelsea district of London in the early 1960s was recreated for the exhibition – as realistically as possible. So with numerous butts, dirty clothes, newspapers and dirty beer bottles. “Mick looked at it and said it was really so dirty,” the museum’s director, Andreas Blühm, told the Amsterdam daily Het Parool.
The offer includes precise instructions so that the future buyer can rebuild the approximately 80 square meter object elsewhere. The target price for the auction is 5,000 euros.
Other objects from the exhibition will also be auctioned. The Stones logo – the mouth with the tongue sticking out – as a light sculpture, a gold record or photos. However, pieces from the band’s personal archive such as guitars or costumes will be returned.
The approximately 400 objects can be seen in Groningen until January 21st – for the second time, by the way. A few weeks following opening in 2020, the exhibition had to close once more due to the corona pandemic. It had been shown in many countries.
