The Rise of David Bowie, 1972-1973","description":"\u003cp\u003eA unique tribute from David Bowie's official photographer and creative partner, Mick Rock, compiled in 2015, with Bowie s blessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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and 1973, worked as the singer s photographer and videographer.This collection, featuring around 50 percent previously unpublished images, brings together spectacular stage shots, iconic photo shoots, as well as intimate backstage portraits. With a 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"taschen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50454006694219,"sku":"1088683","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e58015f1-34ed-497f-a61b-e7d6a45dc05e_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727179619"},{"product_id":"transformer-collectors-edition","title":"Transformer - Collector Copies","description":"\u003cp\u003e['Paper:Matt art paper and tracing paper leaves', \"Binding:Lou and Mick's Transformer image is recreated by hand on the cover of this craft-bound book in black, white and gold foil detailing.\", 'Box:The large format edition (290mm x 390mm \/ 11.5\" x 15.5\") is presented in a slipcase, with Mick\\'s annotated contact strips inset.', 'Extras:Additionally, a limited edition 7\" vinyl, a picture disc featuring the tracks \\'Walk on the Wild Side\\' and \\'Coney Island Baby\\' is enclosed.']\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e['A new 24-page booklet with an essay by Mick Rock and 50 previously unpublished photographs']\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[\"A looseleaf 'Rock and Roll Heart' facsimile handwritten lyric sheet\"]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn November 1972, Transformer launched Lou Reed from the underground way up to Mars, with a little help from Starman Bowie.
