Synopsis

*"All the photos of David Bowie you could possibly ever need. The most noteworthy collection of David Bowie images ever accumulated. Whether you want to own the book as a collector's item or display it on your coffee table, this definitive work is a tribute fit for an icon."* - Interview magazine
***David Bowie: Icon*** gathers the greatest photographs of one of the greatest stars in history, into a single, luxurious volume. The result is the most important anthology of David Bowie images that has ever been compiled. With work by many of the most eminent names in photography, this book showcases a stunning portfolio of imagery, featuring the iconic, the awe inspiring, the candid and the surprising.

An astonishing 25 photographers from around the world
have contributed to this celebration. Their images are accompanied by
personal essays and reflections about working with this astonishing
artist. From memories of the earliest days at the Arts Lab in Beckenham
to what it was like touring the world with Bowie, each contributor
shares their experiences of working with - and knowing - this most
extraordinary figure.

From portraits and album covers,
performances and rehearsals, to rarely seen private moments and candid
snapshots, this collection is at once powerful, sentimental and
inspiring. The thoughts and reminiscences of the photographers, many
sharing their memories for the first time, give us an insight into this
artist unlike any other.

Photography and text by: Fernando Aceves, Brian Aris, Philippe Auliac, Alec Byrne, Kevin Cummins, Chalkie Davies, Justin de Villeneuve, Vernon Dewhurst, Gavin Evans, Gerald Fearnley, Lynn Goldsmith, Greg Gorman, Andrew Kent, Markus Klinko, Geoff MacCormack, Janet Macoska, Terry O'Neill, Denis O'Regan, Norman Parkinson, Mick Rock, John Scarisbrick, Steve Schapiro, Barry Schultz, Masayoshi Sukita and Ray Stevenson.
Features an introduction by Bowie's life-long friend, the artist George Underwood.

When David Bowie
passed away on 10 January 2016, the world lost a musical hero. But his
legacy lives on. While his sound and style evolved throughout his career

  • from Ziggy to the Thin White Duke - two facts never changed: he was
    an innovator; and photographers adored him. This book pays homage to
    this ultimate icon.
