On my last trip to Hong Kong, I was lucky enough to go to the exhibition from the late David Bowie’s private art collection. It was at Sotheby’s HK location at Pacific Place near the Admiralty area.
Although I didn’t auction any of the pieces, it was a great experience to be able to witness works of art that Bowie had personally owned!
Really fascinating works. The man had an incredible aesthetic, as we all know. The Basquiat pieces particularly stood out:
And there was even a work of art that Bowie collaborated on with Damien Hirst:

Unfortunately, the exhibition was only on for one week and I believe it has since moved to London. If you happen to get the chance to see it there, I highly recommend it.
Lastly, do please check out this slideshow:
This is great, nice to see this collection of Bowie’s artwork. Do you know where the exhibition will be in London?

I recognise many of the exhibits on the side show from having seen them at the V&A. Loved that Milano furniture during it heyday in the early 80s.
