ANGUS YOUNG (b. 1955)

Angus Young’s autograph is presented on a concert photograph of the AC/DC guitarist and integrated into a layered artist-designed composition. The signed image captures Young performing with his guitar and is accompanied by an AC/DC disc and a group portrait of the band’s classic line-up. A restrained dark mount and black frame with bronze-toned accents complete the gallery presentation.

Born in Glasgow on 31 March 1955, Angus Young is AC/DC’s lead guitarist and one of the band’s defining figures. Formed in 1973, AC/DC became one of the most influential bands in rock history, with worldwide album sales exceeding 200 million. “Back in Black” ranks among the most successful albums in recording history, while AC/DC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

The composition centres on Young’s unmistakable stage presence — a guitarist whose performance style and characteristic stage costume have become part of rock music’s visual language. The signed concert photograph forms the principal documentary element, while the AC/DC disc and band portrait extend the narrative from the individual autograph to the wider history of the group. The artist-designed presentation transforms the music memorabilia into a coherent collectible work.

The combination of Angus Young’s autograph, concert photography and AC/DC imagery gives the work particular relevance to a collection of rock memorabilia and music autographs. The authenticity of the signature is confirmed by an international James Spence Authentication (JSA) certificate, No. AQ11856.
