Watch the auction livestream of Marr's Guitars: The Johnny Marr Collection.  17 September 2026.

Celebrating the guitar genius of a generation, Christie's presents Marr's Guitars: The Johnny Marr Collection on 17 September 2026, in London. A landmark event, this auction will shine a spotlight on the pioneering sound, songwriting and influence of multi-award winning music icon Johnny Marr. Having co-founded the ground-breaking 1980s band The Smiths, Marr's career has spanned multiple genres and collaborations alongside his solo career.
