About the Photograph
A second close-up of David Bowie by Mick Rock in Chicago, 1973, from the same American tour that carried the Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane shows to US audiences.
Mick Rock — “the man who shot the seventies” — held rare, sustained access to the era’s defining artists, from David Bowie and Lou Reed to Iggy Pop and Queen. This photograph belongs to a group of unique vintage prints from his personal archive held by The Music Photo Gallery.
This is a unique vintage gelatin silver print measuring 8 × 10 inches, stamped by the photographer on the verso. No other copy of this print is known.
