SALE OF THE 20TH CENTURY
October will see the sale of part of one of Australia’s most important private collections of international 20th century popular, cultural and social history.
Tim Fredman has been collecting unusual, rare, iconic and often unique items of popular culture all his long life. Over the years he has assembled an incredible depth and breadth of pieces that represent and reflect the tastes, fashions, ideas, thinking and influences of the way we live our lives. Whether it be music, photography, politics, books, movies, transport, art, or toys, Tim has collected pieces signed by some of the most esteemed entertainers, sportspeople and public figures of the last century.
The Beatles, Margaret Thatcher, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Deep Purple, Aretha Franklin, Kylie Minogue, Herge’s Tin Tin, John Lennon, AC/DC, Jack Nicholson, Alfred Hitchcock, Sean Connery, Walt Disney, James Bond, JK Rowling, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Prince, Elvis, Elizabeth Taylor, Rupert the Bear, Doris Day, Muhammad Ali, Michael Schumacher, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Charles Chaplin. These are just some of the famous names included in this wonderful selection of 170 lots of the highest quality to be offered via the on-line only, timed auction which will take place between 19th October and 9th November 2018.
True to Tim’s philanthropic nature and love of music, part of the proceeds of the sale will go to Opera Scholars Australia. Opera Scholars Australia provides a young artists development program in which opera singers can grow and develop their craft in a supportive environment. Scholars have access to weekly rehearsals, vocal master classes, acting workshops and performance at events including Opera in the Market each year.
