Christie’s (20 Rockefeller Center) is hosting a public exhibition, “Elton John: Goodbye Peachtree Road,” featuring a trove of art, fashion and objects that populated the singer’s Atlanta home on Peachtree Road, through February 21. The exhibition is being held with a series of live and online auctions that run through February 28.
The multi-level exhibition includes hundreds of treasures from a custom collage by artist Damien Hirst to an extravagant 18th-century costume designed by Sandy Powell, a large variety of clothing made for John by Versace, jewelry and watches from such top-name brands as Cartier and Audemars Piquet, as well as one of the singer’s many Bentleys.
The bulk of the exhibition is made up of hundreds of photographs owned by John, including iconic shots from Richard Avedon, Bruce Weber, Irving Penn, Herb Ritts and more.
The exhibition also includes a pop-up gift shop featuring memorabilia, over a dozen of John’s legendary albums, clothing, eyewear and more.
