But as the memorabilia market has ballooned over the last decade or so, Gibson said, \u201ca lot of artists are much more careful about making sure that things don\u2019t get into the wrong hands. After rehearsals, they tidy up after themselves.\u201d <\/p>\n
If anything proves the market value of seemingly worthless ephemera, Walker added, it\u2019s fans clawing for printed set lists at the end of a concert. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re desperate for that connection. This is what it\u2019s all about,\u201d the specialist said. It\u2019s what drove Irsay as well, she said: \u201cHe wanted to have a connection with these great artists of his generation and also the generation above him. And he wanted to share them with people.\u201d <\/p>\n
In Irsay\u2019s home, his favorite guitars weren\u2019t hung like classic paintings. Instead, they were strewn about the rooms he frequented, available for him to play whenever the urge struck him. <\/p>\n
Thanks to tune-up efforts from Walker, many of the guitars headed to auction are fully operational in the hopes that their buyers can do the same. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re working instruments. They need to be looked after, to be played,\u201d Walker said. And even though they make for great gallery art, \u201cthey\u2019re not just for hanging on the wall.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
