Agi: Iconica chitarra di Gilmour venduta al prezzo record di 14,5 milioni

AGI - Una iconica chitarra Fender Stratocaster nera utilizzata da David Gilmour, chitarrista dei Pink Floyd, nella realizzazione di sei album della band, è stata venduta all'asta da Christie's a New York per la cifra record di 14,55 milioni di dollari. La chitarra, soprannominata 'The Black Strat', è diventata così la più costosa mai venduta all'asta, superando di gran lunga il precedente record di 6 milioni di dollari stabilito nel 2020 per la Martin D-18E del 1959 suonata da Kurt Cobain durante lo storico concerto 'MTV Unplugged' del 1993.
Storia del rock
La 'Black Strat' è stata utilizzata da David Gilmour in buona parte degli album della band che ha definito i canoni del rock psichedelico tra il 1967 e il 1983, inclusi gli iconici 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals" e 'The Wall'. L'asta riguardava la collezione di strumenti rock appartenuti all'imprenditore Jim Irsay, ex proprietario della squadra di football americano degli Indianapolis Colts, scomparso nel 2025. Tra le chitarre appartenute alla collezione di Irsay spicca anche una Doug Irwin suonata da Jerry Garcia durante il suo ultimo concerto con i Grateful Dead.
La Strato nera suonata da Gilmour era stata già venduta precedentemente per 3.975.000 dollari in un'altra asta nel 2019, faceva parte del lotto di 127 oggetti provenienti dalla collezione personale di Gilmour per raccogliere fondi per ClientEarth, un gruppo di avvocati impegnati contro il cambiamento climatico.

Iconic Gilmour guitar sold for a record price of £14.5 million.

AGI - An iconic black Fender Stratocaster guitar used by David Gilmour, guitarist of Pink Floyd, in the recording of six albums by the band, was sold at auction by Christie’s in New York for a record $14.55 million. The guitar, nicknamed ‘The Black Strat’, became the most expensive ever sold at auction, far surpassing the previous record of $6 million set in 2020 for the 1959 Martin D-18E played by Kurt Cobain during the historic ‘MTV Unplugged’ 1993 concert.

History of Rock

‘The Black Strat’ was used by David Gilmour in much of the band’s albums that defined the canons of psychedelic rock between 1967 and 1983, including the iconic ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, ‘Wish You Were Here’, ‘Animals’ and ‘The Wall’. The auction featured the rock instruments belonging to entrepreneur Jim Irsay, former owner of the Indianapolis Colts football team, who died in 2025. Among the guitars belonging to Irsay’s collection, a Doug Irwin played by Jerry Garcia during his final concert with the Grateful Dead also stood out.

The black Stratocaster played by Gilmour had previously been sold for $3,975,000 in another auction in 2019, and was part of a lot of 127 items from Gilmour’s personal collection to raise funds for ClientEarth, a group of lawyers committed to fighting climate change.
