Notes. Forgive the quality of the image on the left. We try to include images of works taken by Denis when possible. The Sotheby's auction in November 2016 was entirely comprised of work collected by David Bowie during his lifetime. Images of Botallack with a poster of Bowie in the background featured extensively in the national press at the time. Sotheby's kindly sent us some of the Getty images of Denis's work at various stages of preparation for the auction.
