David Bowie photos and camera to go on display next month

Coming to auction for the first time, the sale will also feature the Hasselblad camera Duffy used to shoot Bowie for Aladdin Sane (1973) and Scary Monsters (1980), as well as the only two surviving contact sheets for Aladdin Sane. Additionally, the sale will include the stool on which Bowie sat during the Aladdin Sane shoot. For nearly four decades following the April 1973 release of Aladdin Sane, the iconic eyes-closed image remained the only widely seen frame from the shoot.
