Renowned bassist with Joy Division, New Order and The Light, Peter Hook is to hold his second exhibition and auction featuring his hugely substantial and extensive collection of New Order artefacts and memorabilia which as an avid collector throughout his life he amassed across his ten albums with the band.
Following on from the successful exhibition and auction focussed on Joy Division and Factory Records in March 2019, The “Peter Hook Signature Collection - New Order” showcases many rare, unseen items from Hooky’s decades with the group across over four hundred lots. The collection takes in awards, instruments including a large number of Hooky’s own guitars, studio equipment, releases across all formats and more besides.
Also featuring items related to Factory and Joy Division, the collection predominantly refers to Hooky’s output with New Order and takes in many items with great historic relevance.
With too many to list here, some include The Factory “Blue Monday Anvil” presented to the band by Tony Wilson, Hooky’s 2005 NME and 2006 Ivor Novello awards, the “Overwater Bass Guitar” owned by John Entwistle, Hooky’s six string Shergold Marathon and original Yamaha BB1200S used across most of New Order’s celebrated output and equipment including the Prophet 5 Synthesiser And Sequencer as used in the recording of “Blue Monday” and Hooky’s final audio rig “The End” from the farewell New Order concert in Buenos Aires November 2006.
