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previously unpublished images, brings together spectacular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, 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. Additionally, this copy of the beautiful cloth-bound
behemoth remains in BRAND NEW condition and, although
there is a split in the shrinkwrap along the top edge, it
remains sealed within its original hype-stickered
shrink)
