In London in November, Sotheby's will auction off around 400 art and design objects from the personal collection of David Bowie, who died in January. The chameleonic, charismatic musician-actor left behind an impressive array of modern art, particularly by 20th-century Brits. Damien Hirst, Graham Sutherland and sculptor Henry Moore are all represented, as are Jean-Michel Basquiat and Marcel Duchamp. Bowie's personal stereo, a Brionvega Radiophonograph, also will be offered for sale and is on display.
Prior to the auction, the collection is touring the United States. Its first stop is Sotheby's Los Angeles, where it can be viewed by the public on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 20 and 21. Here's an exclusive first look at what will be on display at Sotheby's next week.
