Hardcover with 5-phase lenticular, 9.4 x 13.1 in., 5.07 lb, 300 pages A tribute to David Bowie from the artists official photographer, Mick Rock. Compiled in 2015 with Bowies blessing, this collection includes stage shots, backstage candids, and more, charting the musical, theatrical, and sexual revolution of the 197273 Ziggy Stardust world tour, and celebrating the eternal inspiration of a transformative artist. In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With it landed Bowies 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 worlds 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, immersing himself in the singers inner circle. Between 1972 and 1973, he worked as Bowies photographer and videographer. This collection brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photoshoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits. It celebrates Bowies 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. The photographer Mick Rock was born in London in 1948 and is known as The man who shot the seventies. As well as David Bowie, he has photographed Lou Reed, Queen, Iggy Pop, Roxy Music and Blondie. He also produced and directed music videos for the classic Bowie songs: John, Im Only Dancing, The Jean Genie, Space Oddity and Life On Mars?.
