Mick Rock\u2019s legendary photos of the late artist<\/p>\n
A unique tribute from David Bowie\u2019s official photographer and creative partner, Mick Rock, compiled in 2015, with Bowie\u2019s blessing.<\/p>\n
In 1972, David Bowie released his groundbreaking album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. With it landed Bowie\u2019s 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 \u201970s self-expression. Together, Ziggy the album and Ziggy the stage spectacular propelled the softly spoken Londoner into one of the world\u2019s biggest stars.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s inner circle, and, between 1972 and 1973, worked as the singer\u2019s photographer and videographer.<\/p>\n
This collection brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photo shoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits. It celebrates Bowie\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
