David Bowie´s private art collection to go on display and sale

LONDON: David Bowie´s private art collection, including works by Henry Moore and Damien Hirst, will go on display to the public for the first time before heading for auction later this year, Sotheby´s said on Thursday.

The "Bowie/Collector" three-part sale in **vember will feature around 400 items from the pop icon´s private collection and is seen fetching "in excess of 10 million pounds" ($13.24 million), a spokeswoman for the auction house said.

Bowie, who died aged 69 in January, straddled the worlds of music, fashion, drama and art for five decades, and was k**wn for some of the most in**vative songs of his generation.

However his art collector side "was something he kept almost entirely hidden from public view", Sotheby´s said.

"Eclectic, unscripted, understated: David Bowie´s collection offers a unique insight into the personal world of one of the 20th century´s greatest creative spirits," Oliver Barker, Sotheby´s Europe chairman, said in a statement.

Among works to be featured is late American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat´s "Air Power" painting, estimated between 2.5 million and 3.5 million pounds, and Hirst´s kaleidoscopic

"Beautiful, Shattering, Slashing, Violent, Pinky, Hacking, Sphincter Painting", seen fetching 250,000-350,000 pounds.

There are also sculptures and design furniture, including a 1960s record player by Italian brothers Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni.

The collection will be exhibited at Sotheby´s galleries in London in early **vember.

Before that, the auction house will hold previews around the world.
