The late David Bowie left behind an impressive art collection after his death and it will soon be displayed to the public and then sold at auction. 

The 400-piece collection includes artworks by the likes of Frank Auerbach, Damien Hirst, Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland and Marcel Duchamp, and they will be displayed this November for the first time. 

A press release sent out by Oliver Barker, chairman of Sotheby’s Europe explains that the collection is “eclectic, unscripted, understated." He adds: "David Bowie’s collection offers a unique insight into the personal world of one of the 20th century’s greatest creative spirits.”

Sotheby's New Bond Street galleries will exhibit Bowie's privately owned pieces from November 1 until November 10 and Billboard adds that "review exhibitions will be held in New York, Los Angeles and Hong Kong."
