ANDREY MAKAREVICH (b. 1953)

Andrei Makarevich’s autograph on a guitar pickguard is a collectible object directly connected with musical culture and the creative biography of one of the best-known rock musicians of the post-Soviet era. The signature appears on a component of a musical instrument, creating a particularly direct material connection with the musician and his artistic identity.

Andrei Makarevich is a musician, songwriter, composer and founder of the band “Time Machine”. Over several decades, his work established a distinctive place in the history of Russian-language rock, combining the singer-songwriter tradition, rock music and a recognizably literary approach to lyrics.

A pickguard is a functional part of a guitar designed to protect the instrument’s body during playing. Makarevich’s signature on this particular surface therefore carries a natural association with the stage, the guitar and the musician’s profession. Presented in an artist-designed presentation, the object acquires the character of a complete display piece.

The authenticity of the signature is confirmed by an international certificate of authenticity. The object is of particular interest to collections devoted to autographs, music memorabilia and the history of rock music.
