About the Work
David Bowie is photographed in close-up by Mick Rock in Chicago, 1973, on the American leg of the tour that carried Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane 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, hand-annotated and stamped by the photographer on the verso. No other copy of this print is known.
