LONDON – This November, Sotheby’s will stage Bowie/Collector, a
three-part sale encompassing over 350 works from the private collection of
legendary musician David Bowie. At the heart of of the sale is a remarkable
group of more than 200 works by many of the most important British artists of
the 20th Century, including Frank Auerbach, Damien Hirst, Henry Moore and
Graham Sutherland.
Bowie’s famously inquisitive mind
also led him to collect Outsider Art, Surrealism and Contemporary African art,
as well as pieces by Italian designer Ettore Sottsass and the Memphis group.
Bowie's diverse tastes nurtured his extensive archive of important works from
celebrated, and less widely-known, artists in a collection of unparalleled
eclecticism.
From 1–10 November, the collection
will be exhibited at Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries in London, giving
fans, collectors, art lovers and experts a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
immerse themselves in the extraordinary range of objects that
informed Bowie’s private world.
