David Bowie’s Private Art Collection To Be Put On Exhibit And Sold At Auction
by David Bowie‘s extensive private art collection will be sold at auction.
Bowie has accumulated over 400 pieces in his art collection over his lifetime. The collection includes more than 200 paintings from some of Britain’s most important 20th century artist like Frank Auerbach, Damien Hirst, Henry Moore and Graham Sutherland.
“Art was, seriously, the only thing I’d ever wanted to own,” Bowie told the New York Times in 1998. “It can change the way that I feel in the mornings.”
The pieces will go on public display for the first time in Nov. 1 – 10 at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries in London. Review exhibitions will be held in New York, Los Angeles and Hong Kong. They will then be sold and are expected to make a profit of $13 million.
Bowie died following an 18-month battle with cancer that he hid from the public, two days after his 69th birthday.
