Freddie Mercury: A World of His Own Exhibit and Auction (2023)

Sotheby’s presents Freddie Mercury: A World of His Own, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the public and private realm of the rock band Queen and global icon Freddie Mercury. A world-renowned rock superstar, away from the stage Freddie Mercury was a deeply educated collector. Across six auctions, Sotheby’s reflects Freddie Mercury’s world of style and quality, spanning art, fashion, musical instruments, personal papers, possessions and photographs, furniture, and jewels, accrued over a period of fifty years.

The collection has been meticulously preserved within his estate at Garden Lodge for more than three decades, displaying a quality and diversity that are a testament not only to his passions, but innate style, accomplished artistry, and brilliant mind.

The series of auctions is preceded by a month-long public exhibition which immerses visitors in Freddie’s world, in a one-of-a-kind experience, allowing full access to some of the most exciting and rare examples of artifacts from a true music legend of the 20th century.
