David Gilmour of
Pink Floyd auctions 127 guitars from his collection at Christie's, New York City, USA, raising a total of $21,490,750, which the guitarist donates to ClientEarth, a global climate crisis organization.
The auction sets several world records for sales of guitars. His famed Black Strat alone realised $3.975 m, said to be the highest price paid for a guitar at an auction. The Black Strat was played by Gilmour on every
Pink Floyd album from The Dark Side of the Moon until The Final Cut.
