MICK ROCK: A VINTAGE ORIGINAL GELATIN SILVER 8 x 10" PHOTOGRAPH OF DAVID BOWIE AS "ZIGGY STARDUST"
(BOWIE, DAVID) (ROCK, MICK). Rock, Mick. London: Mick Rock Studio, 1972. First Printing. 4to. Silver Gelatin Photograph. Fine.. One 10 x 8" black and white silver gelatin photographic print on single-weight paper. This is a vintage photograph by Mick Rock of the late, great David Bowie onstage at London's Rainbow Theatre in August 1972 - the shows during which the iconic performer premiered "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars". He is pictured in the striking Kansai Yamamoto-designed crimson one-piece with bunnies known as the "Woodland" outfit (that Kate Moss wore decades later in 2014 to accept Bowie's Brit Award for Best Male Solo Artist) and flashing a lot of thigh while doing so. This print bears a "Photography by MICK ROCK" studio stamp in red ink on the verso, and was acquired by me personally from the renowned photographer in October 1972 when he was in Los Angeles documenting Bowie's two shows at The Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. A bright, most handsome example showing two minor handling creases. Inventory Number: 026549
