David Bowie Window Portrait 1972, Glam Rock Photography Print

In the early 1970s, the transformation into Ziggy Stardust was more than a costume change; it was a total immersion that blurred the lines between the performer and the art itself. This print captures that era through a candid lens, showing the artist seated by a bright window. The composition focuses on his legendary shock of fiery orange-red hair and a shimmering, metallic striped jacket that catches the natural daylight.

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. Glam rock of the early 1970s brought glitter, platform boots and theatrical style to music. In the 1970s, rock moved into arenas and its posters became bigger, bolder and more graphic. The original image dates from 1972.
