Oliver Barker, Chairman, Sotheby’s Europe: “David Bowie’s personal art collection captured the imagination of the tens of thousands who visited our exhibitions and the hundreds who took part in this evening’s sale. Sotheby’s is truly honoured to have had the opportunity to share this collection with the world and, in doing so, offer a fresh insight into the creative mind of one of the greatest cultural figures of our time.”
Part I of David Bowie's personal art collection attracted buyers from around the world, with collectors from 46 countries registered to bid for the 47 works on offer.
Over the course of the 10-day pre-sale exhibition in London, more than 37,000 #people came to Sotheby’s to view the collection, making for the best attended pre-sale exhibition London has ever witnessed. Bidders battled for works by the British artists with whom Bowie felt such a close connection, such as Frank Auerbach, Peter Lanyon and Bernard Leach, as eleven new records were set for works of 20th Century British Art. Paintings by leading contemporary artists were also the subject of prolonged bidding battles in the saleroom, led by Jean-Michel Basquiat’s, Air Power, 1984 which sold for £7.1m.
A spokesperson for the Estate of David Bowie said: “David always enjoyed sharing the works in the collection, loaning to museums and actively supporting the art and artists that were part of his world. While the family have kept certain pieces of particular significance, now was the time for others to share David’s love for these remarkable works and let them live on.”
