Some of the 350 pieces from David Bowie's art collection were one sale at Sotheby's auction rooms in London Thursday night. The auction is called "Bowie/Collector" and was displayed during the 10-day pre-sale viewing period. More than 37,000 Bowie fans and art enthusiasts came to see the collection.
Since Bowie's death in January, there has been an increased interest in the musician's life and work. The pop icon collected visual art, furniture, design, ceramics, books and records the majority of which will be auctioned on behalf of his estate.
“Every piece resonated personally with him,” Beth Greenacre, the curator of his collection since 2000, said according to the New York Times. “He had a collector’s mind; he was always gathering information.” An important figure in the avant-garde world, Bowie's collection along with his music allow his great legacy to live on.
