The Rise of David Bowie 1972-1973

MICK ROCK The Rise of David Bowie 1972-1973 (2016 German pressed UK & European Deluxe 310-page 11" x 15" hardback book - In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Withit 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. 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. With text in English, French and German, this collection features many previously unpublished images, brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photo shoots and intimate backstage portraits. With a wonderful lenticular cover of different headshots (upside down on this example!), 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. Although not sealed, this copy of the beautiful cloth-bound behemoth remains in near as new condition)
