David Bowie’s personal art collection is being auctioned by Sotheby’s to raise an expected $13.2 million for his family, it was revealed in July. Today, the collection goes on display at Sotheby’s, in London, where they’ll be sold on November 10 and 11. The BBC has shared footage from inside the show, including interviews with his art-world acquaintances, which you can watch below. The set of 267 works features pieces by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Frank Auerbach, Marcel Duchamp, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, Damien Hirst, and more. The Basquiat, “Air Power,” is the most valuable in the set, expected to sell for between $2.5-3.5 million.
