Carole King’s personal piano will be auctioned off as part of the Exceptional Sale at Christie’s, which is set to take place April 20 in New York City. King’s piano will be on view to the public April 12 through 20 at Christie’s Rockefeller Galleries. King, who has owned the 1924 model “M” Steinway piano for decades, used it to compose a number of hit songs such as “Been to Canaan” and “Sweet Seasons.” It has also appeared on the covers of King’s 1971 album, Music, and 1971’s “Sweet Seasons.” “She really is the embodiment of that 1960s and Seventies movement of collaboration,” actress Chilina Kennedy says. “I think it’s nice to be reminded of a time when it was about the ‘we’ and about traveling together and making a sound that belonged to all of us and not just one person. I think that’s when the best art is made. And she’s truly was a natural woman, as she’s true to herself and I think women need those kinds of role models today, now more than ever.” The piano is expected to fetch between $40,000 and $60,000 at auction.
