Sneakers, clothes, musical instruments and other memorabilia from Tim ’Avicii’ Bergling’s personal collection will be available to purchase as part of an auction supporting the late DJ’s foundation. The Tim Bergling Foundation advocates for the recognition of suicide as a global health crisis and actively works to remove the stigma attached to suicide and mental health issues.
Stockholms Auktionsverk in Avicii’s native Sweden will present the Avicii Collection, an auction consisting of 267 items that have been donated by his family. The proceeds will be donated in full to the Tim Bergling Foundation.
“We are incredibly proud to present this auction,” said Cecilia Gave, CEO of Stockholms Auktionsverk. “Tim Bergling touched countless people worldwide and continues to do so both through his music and the foundation the family has established in his name. It is a true honor to support The Tim Bergling Foundation to help even more young people. We have 350 years of experience passing on the artifacts of some of history’s most prominent cultural figures and consider it a privilege.”
