The collection of art of David Bowie will be sold at auction

Auction is planned for November, expected revenue will constitute 10 million pounds. So far nearly three hundred works, including Damion Hurst's masterpieces will provide at an exhibition of the house Sotheby's. Whether can purchase a collection entirely?

Bowie brought together generally British artists and photographers of the twentieth century. Frank Auerbach, Stanley Spencer, Patrick Kolfild and monochrome landscapes of John to Wirth. Still Bowie had Marcel Duchamp (he is loved for the fact that he has added moustaches to Gioconda, work has left on Christie’s for half a million). The singer had a work under the name "Brut Secret" — a piece of a rope between two plates. Experts estimate at 250 thousand pounds. The singer never advertized the collection though he bought always passionately.

Money from sale will go to Bowie's relatives — him, allegedly, there is no place to store a collection, and it is the main reason of the auction. In principle, it would be possible to sell something one and on these means to base exhibition space where admirers of the legendary performer could go. As to provide itself, such spaces usually solve.

Jean-Michel Basquiia's work is considered the most valuable lot of future auction: Bowie played at cinema of his mentor 20 years ago, Andy Warhol and after shootings has bought a picture. Now it can be sold for three million pounds.
