20 Years that Changed the World - The Hilary Gerrard Collection of Burroughs & the Long 60s
Burroughs & the Long 60s: Exhibition now open at 94 New Bond Street (until 21st November). Contact Oliver Wood for more details.
The Long 60s (1955-1975) is a time that revolutionised the world and Shapero Rare Books is selling one of the best collections paying tribute to this iconic moment in the history of the 20th century.
The ephemera of its time - posters, festival tickets, leaflets, magazines - are particularly rare and thus making this one of the finest collections around the world whether in private hands or in an institution. Shapero is asking a seven figure sum for the whole collection and highlights are now on view at their Bond Street Gallery until 21st November 2025.
The collection was assembled by Hilary Gerrard (1933-2023), who was Beatle Ringo Starr's financial advisor and business manager from the 1970s to 2015, and a close friend - often seen in the background, but never in the spotlight. He was however a prolific collector and he basically bought his youth back and managed to collect some of the most iconic items relating to the Long Sixties, when the post-war youth was rebelling against its parents' generation.
For more information on the collection please contact Oliver Wood.
