A WORD FROM THE SPECIALIST Halls Fine Art are delighted to be bringing to auction Edward Bell’s wonderful collection and to have been able to collaborate with The Dory Gallery throughout the process and exhibit the artworks in their wonderful contemporary art space. As an auctioneer it is always very exciting to be able to conduct a single-owner collection sale and to have been able to work directly with the artist himself is a rare treat. Edward Bell was commissioned to design the artwork for David Bowie’s Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and Tin Machine II albums. The collection includes his original designs and concepts, photographs of Bowie and the band from the photoshoots as well as original paintings and sculptures that have never before been sold on the open market. The rarity of the items is outstanding and I really feel that each lot is a
chance to take home a piece of pop history, and having come directly from Bowies “favourite artist” the provenance could not be any better! My personal favourite is lot 42, the Savage Heart sculpture, which was modelled on Bowie’s torso for the Tin Machine II artwork. This is a one-off sculpture and beautifully executed, estimated at £2,000-£4,000 I am sure it will be a popular piece. David Bowie is a true music icon and his appeal transcends the generations, he is just as relevant now after his death as he ever was, with a whole new generation of music lovers finding connection with his music. It has been an absolute pleasure to bring this sale together and I cannot wait to see the results. - Abigail Molenaar, Modern & Contemporary Art Specialist

(c) All statements whether printed in the catalogue or made orally as to any of the matters set out in (b) above are statements of opinion only and are not to be taken as being or implying any warranties or representations of fact by Halls Holdings Limited unless they have been instructed in writing by the seller to so certify.

Collection or shipping arrangements for lots can be made from midday on the next working day after the auction. Halls Fine Art are a small team so unfortunately has neither the staff, nor the facilities to provide a comprehensive packaging service, meeting buyer's or carriers’ various stipulations regarding box sizes and materials. Consequently, Halls will not package items for collection by third parties.Buyers that engage the services of companies that do not fulfill these criteria will be asked to email or write to Halls stating that they, the client, do so entirely at their own risk and take full responsibility for their choice. For further information, please email fineartpayments@hallsgb.com or call 01743 450700
IMPORTANT NOTICE Although every effort is made to note damage and restoration, the absence of such information does not imply that the lot is free from defects. Detailed condition reports and email images can be obtained on request until 10am on Friday 30th July. Please note that post-sale offers will not be accepted for this auction. If you wish to bid, please do so whilst the auction is live. The artist retains the rights to the original designs and imagery. They cannot be reproduced without his permission.
BEFORE THE AUCTION What is buyer’s premium? All UK auctioneers charge a premium in addition to the hammer price. Halls’ Buyer’s Premium is 20% plus VAT for the first £500,000 and 12% above £500,000 per lot Can I ask questions about lots before the auction? You can ask for further details and extra images about any lots in our sales and this is especially important if you cannot view the lot in person. We don’t detail condition in our catalogue descriptions and so recommend asking for a condition report and additional images. Our reports provide a general guide to the condition of a lot but are not a forensic examination and so a physical inspection by you or an appointed agent is ideal.
