Cheryl's Art And Music Guide

Christie's  will be auctioning off guitars from  Jeff Beck 's collection next year. This takes place in London on January 22, and can be viewed from the 15th of January.  Prior to the sale, the items will be on view (from the 4th through 6th of Deember) at  Christies ' Los Angeles branch. Amplifiers, pedals, and cases are to be auctioned off as well.  The assortment spans Beck's long career, from the  Yardbirds  in 1965 to his final tour in 2022. It includes one of his better known guitars, a burgundy-colored  Gibson Les Paul , which appeared on the cover of his 1975 instrumental album,  Blow By Blow .    The musician, who died last year, worked with  Tina Turner, Billy    Gibbons, David Gilmour , and many other big names.

Joseph Beuys  is the subject of a new exhibit in Los Angeles.  From November 16-March 23,  The Broad  is presenting over 400 artworks illuminating the late artist's role as an environmental advocate. Iconic works such as  Sled  and  Felt Suit  join lesser known multiples like  Rhine Water (Polluted) .  Admission to In Defense of Nature is free, but it is recommended that visitors request timed-entry tickets to avoid long lines. Incidentally, Beuys is mentioned in a new book by gallerist  Michael   Findlay . In  Portrait of the Art Dealer as a Young Man , the author recalls his contribution to Joseph's  I Like America and America Likes Me . This 1974 project saw the avant-garde sculptor spending three days inside a gallery with a coyote. Many thought he put himself at risk, but the animal was used to humans.  The writer explains that the coyote came from a New Jersey farm. Michael rented the animal for a $300 fee (one hundred dollars a day), for which he was fully reimbursed.

Juliens Auctions  will soon hold its second sale of  Played, Worn, and Torn  mementoes. The event will be held in Nashville and online, on the 20th and 21st of November. Music fans can choose from a lot of clothing, ranging from  Paul Stanley 's custom cape to  Donna Summer 's gowns. And there's a good deal to peruse when it comes to  Don Everly.  Besides western shirts, a raincoat, shoes, and suits, there are even a couple of landscapes, painted by Don.  Proceeds from quite a few lots--particularly signed guitars from the likes of  Keith Richards, Post Malone, Slash, Ziggy Marley, Graham   Nash , and  James Taylor --will be donated to the  Sweet   Relief  musician's fund and  Gibson Gives , which uses guitars to introduce and amplify the power of music.   A smattering of items, such as  Eric Clapton 's signed CD set and  Eddie Vedder 's autographed set list, will be sold to benefit another good cause, the  Teenage Cancer Trust .  At last year's  Played, Wor

  Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)  has unveiled a new art installation. This is located on the Departures Level in Terminal 4's concourse, and is part of Terminal 4's renovations. The brightly colored mural features a starburst pattern, and was created by  Allison Kunath .  Allison's staccato brushwork marks bring to mind the comings and goings of airport visitors. The piece is called Everyday Transcendence . Check out  flylax.com/art-program  for more about the painting, and  LAX 's art program. 

Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha are brothers who run MAO Public Relations , a fashion PR and events production company. They are authors, too, and their latest is Dustin Pittman: New York After Dark .  While the focus is primarily on city nightlife in the seventies and eighties, some jobs were done earlier in the day, and there's also a handful of Paris fashion shoots.  The venues range from The Mudd Club to the Metropolitan Museum of Art , with subjects such as David Johansen (who penned the foreword); Bryan Ferry; Debbie Harry; Iggy Pop; Madonna (pre-fame); Bianca Jagger ; and Calvin Klein . And there are quite a few identified guests.  That's the case with a sampling of Dustin's Woodstock festival photos--and a disappointment with no headliners. Yet the photographer claims he got to see Jimi Hendrix up close.  Regardless of who he's working with, the former WWD employee thinks love tends to be his theme, with various couples embracing (even one 'tro
