"Such a privilege to have known and worked with him. A remarkable
man and artist. I loved him." - Mick Rock, 2016A 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This collection, featuring around 50 percent previously unpublished
images, brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photo
shoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits. With a lenticular
cover of different headshots, 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.
