As the V&A’s spectacular retrospective of David Bowie’s career continues its international tour, we are delighted to present five previously unseen prints in this newly curated Personal Portfolio of the exhibition’s acclaimed catalogue. Chosen by the David Bowie Archive, the prints include a photograph taken in Berlin (signed by David Bowie), a painting by Bowie generously lent for photography by a private collector, early album artwork, an installation drawing design and a Kirlian electrophotograph. Once again, we have been delighted to collaborate with the Barnbrook studio – producing each print to specifications tailored to the subject matter. . Each portfolio is hand-numbered and sealed in a black presentation case.

This was purchased from V&A as a piece of history.
These sold out the same day due to his death.
David always wrote the year next to his signature and this signature has 15 meaning 2015 so could be one of the last signings he did.
An amazing piece that will only increase in value.
Any questions please feel free to ask.
