Please click here for Post-Auction information on Collections, Shipping & Storage

The 2025 iteration of British Cool celebrates a wide range of artists representing different aspects of popular culture in Britain, including prints by Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud, David Hockney and Bridget Riley, music and film memorabilia of The Beatles, David Bowie and James Bond, fashion by Vivienne Westwood and Zandra Rhodes and a Jaime Gili vibrantly painted Mini Cooper.

The first twelve lots in the sale are from the Dylan Jones Collection. During his impressive career as author, journalist and former editor of GQ Magazine, Dylan Jones has been at the forefront of defining British Cool for decades. This collection reflects both his personal and professional interest in modern British artists and music icons, such as David Bowie and Sir Peter Blake. The collection is a labour of love recalling the amazing people and places visited and is a snapshot of arts and culture in Britain.
