About David Bowie

David Bowie (1947–2016) constantly reinvented his music and image, from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke. Bowie’s striking stage looks made him one of the most photographed musicians of all time. New York has been photographed more than almost any city, from skyscrapers to street life. In the 1970s, rock moved into arenas and its posters became bigger, bolder and more graphic. The original dates from 1973.
