What a way to commemorate our partnership with the Duffy Archive! If you’ve seen the headlines, you’ll know that Brian Duffy’s original dye transfer print for David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane album cover - the image dubbed the Mona Lisa of Pop - just today sold for a jaw-dropping £381,400 at Bonhams. That’s officially the most expensive album art ever sold.
This isn’t just an album cover. It’s Bowie at his most iconic, captured in 1973 by one of Britain’s most visionary photographers. While the original artwork is now in the hands of one very lucky collector, here’s the exciting part:
You can own an official, limited edition print from the Duffy Archive at an accessible price.
We’ve teamed up with Chris Duffy and the Archive to make their museum-quality prints available through Hypergallery. They’re fully authorised, beautifully produced, and they come ready mounted for easy framing in a standard size. No fuss, no custom framing bills. Just unwrap, pop into a frame, and enjoy.
And they’re ready to ship in time for Christmas. Whether you’re a lifelong Bowie fan or looking for the ultimate gift for someone who is, this is your chance to give something truly unforgettable.
For decades, this image was locked away. Only one frame—the eyes-closed shot—was widely seen until 2010, when the Archive began sharing more from the legendary session. Now, thanks to this collaboration, you can own a piece of that story. And unlike the Bonhams record-breaker, these prints won’t require a six-figure bid.
So, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning the Mona Lisa of Pop, now’s your moment.
Browse the collection, pick your favourite, and make this Christmas iconic.
