A unique tribute from David Bowie's official photographer and
creative partner, Mick Rock, compiled in 2015, with Bowie's
blessing. In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With
it landed Bowie's Stardust alter ego: a glitter-clad, mascara-eyed,
sexually ambiguous persona who kicked down the boundaries between
male and female, straight and gay, fact and fiction into one
shifting and sparkling phenomenon of '70s self-expression.
Together, Ziggy the album and Ziggy the stage spectacular propelled
the softly spoken Londoner into one of the world's biggest stars. A
key passenger on this glam trip into the stratosphere was fellow
Londoner and photographer Mick Rock. Rock bonded with Bowie
artistically and personally, immersed himself in the singer's inner
circle, and, between 1972 and 1973, worked as the singer's
photographer and videographer. This collection brings together
spectacular stage shots, iconic photo shoots, as well as intimate
backstage portraits. It celebrates Bowie's fearless experimentation
and reinvention, while offering privileged access to the many
facets of his personality and fame. Through the aloof and
approachable, the playful and serious, the candid and the
contrived, the result is a passionate tribute to a brilliant and
inspirational artist whose creative vision will never be forgotten.
