These 10 pieces of art owned by David Bowie have sold for over £22 million

David Bowie's art and furniture collections are being auctioned at Sotheby's in London this week, and half of his artwork has already sold for £24.3 million ($30.3 million).

The iconic musician, who died in January 2016, was passionate about art. His estate, which has an estimated worth of £79 million ($100 million), includes paintings from avant-garde British artists like Damien Hirst, Henry Moore and even Bowie himself.

While the second part of the auction takes place today (Friday), the first session has already doubled the estimated selling price, with two paintings being going for over £7 million ($8.9 million).

From Damien Hirst to Harold Gilman, here are the 10 pieces that have sold for the highest price tag at the Bowie auction so far.

Estimate: £150,000-£250,000 ($189,330-$315,670)
