Freddie Mercury auction Sotheby´s Mary Austin, BRAND NEW, August 2023

#freddiemercury #queen #sothebys GREAT 3D GALLERY VISIT Freddie Mercury auction at Sotheby´s, London Why is Mary Austin selling star’s items? Why there are no plans for setting up a museum? Ex-fiancée explains her decision. When Freddie died in 1991, he left both the house and its contents to Mary Austin. The Queen star’s ex-fiancée, who reportedly inherited half of Mercury’s estimated £75 million estate, has lived in the star’s beloved Garden Lodge since his passing and has rarely been seen in public or given interviews since his death. “The collection takes you deeper within the individual and the man I knew,“ Austin said. 1,500 of the star’s belongings including costumes, instruments and the singer’s hand-written song lyrics are auctioning at Sotheby´s in August and September. Speaking in an interview with the BBC, Mary Austin explained her reasoning behind holding the auction, which one Sotheby’s expert has declared will be the “most spectacular, public exhibition in our company history.“ edit:@queendanka The Telegraph interview, August, 2023 Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
