- STYX BAND SIGNED GUITAR.Styx Band Signed
STYX BAND SIGNED GUITAR.Styx Band Signed Guitar. Pearl-white finish New York Pro electric six-string guitar, the signatures obtained at the band's February 15, 2003 performance at McElroy Auditorium (Waterloo, Iowa) during the Cyclorama Tour, signed by Tommy Shaw, JY Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman, Glen Burtnik, and Dennis DeYoung. Meet-and-greet pass and band-issue guitar picks laid onto the surface. Inscribed on the rear with details on the occasion. DeYoung's signature was obtained separately. Because of his strained relationship to the other members, a gathering of all the signatures on a single item is difficult to assemble.

Collection of Viktor Kholodkov
LOT NOTES
This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
