Mick Rock. The Rise of David Bowie, 1972-1973
en Hardback – 29 feb 2020
Begleitet wurde er auf diesem Glam-Trip in die Stratosphäre des Pophimmels von seinem Landsmann, dem Londoner Fotografen Mick Rock. Rock lag künstlerisch und persönlich auf einer Wellenlänge mit Bowie, wurde Teil seiner Entourage und arbeitete in den Jahren 1972/73 als Leibfotograf des Sängers.
Diese einzigartige, 2015 noch unter Bowies Mitwirkung entstandene Sammlung zeigt das Beste aus Mick Rocks Bowie-Portfolio, von spektakulären Liveshows, legendären Studio-Porträts, Coverfotos bis hin zu Bildern aus Promofilmen, aus dem Backstage-Bereich und vom Tour-Alltag; sie zeigen Bowie, die Kunstfigur, aber auch den nicht minder facettenreichen Menschen jenseits cooler Rock-Posen - eine leidenschaftliche Hommage an einen brillanten und inspirierenden Künstler, dessen kreative Vision bis heute fortlebt.

Descriere
A 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 brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photo shoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits. 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.
