NEW YORK — An assortment of Rolling Stones memorabilia and artwork provided by Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and his ex-wife was sold in a two-day auction, Julien’s Auctions said.
The collection featured memorabilia spanning four decades from the guitarist’s work with the band, and included several worn leather and velvet jackets, real and cardboard guitars, tour ephemera and a signed lithograph of Eric Clapton.
Among the items were a white leather coat worn by Wood that sold for $8,960, and a lithograph of Eric Clapton drawn by Wood that features his signature and Clapton’s that fetched $5,120.
A cardboard guitar cutout gifted to Wood by Keith Richards sold for $6,875. The real thing, a 1955 Fender Stratocaster guitar often played on stage by Wood, brought in $60,800.
The auction occurs ahead of the release in February of the memoirs of Wood’s ex-wife Jo, which promise to reveal her tales of life as the wife of a Rolling Stone.
Ronnie and Jo Wood were married for 23 years but separated in 2008 when he left her for a young cocktail waitress named Ekaterina Ivanova. The divorce was finalized in 2011.
Julien said the items were jointly owned and part of the divorce settlement.
