A Portrait of Bowie: A tribute to Bowie by his artistic collaborators and contemporaries | Brian Hiatt
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
HIS LIFE WAS A WORK OF ART Now, artists and musicians who worked with David Bowie during his lifetime - or who were his contemporaries - pay tribute to the icon through their own words on what it was like to work in collaboration with a man whose fluid artistic genius repeatedly broke boundaries, right up until his death. Alongside these text tributes are 40 stunning illustrative and photographic portraits of Bowie throughout his career. The contributing artists and photographers include (alphabetically): Edward Bell, Derek Boshier, Anton Corbijn, Kevin Cummins, Chuck Connelly, Chalkie Davies, Stephen Finer, Greg Gorman, Derry Moore, Terry O'Neill, Mick Rock, Masayoshi Sukita, George Underwood, Justin de Villeneuve and more. Alongside these remarkable portraits are insightful, personal written pieces by his contemporaries, and musicians and artists who worked closely with Bowie, including Zachary Alford, Carlos Alomar, Toni Basil, Gail Ann Dorsey, Mike Garson, Dana Gillespie, Debbie Harry and Chris Stein, Cyndi Lauper, and Nile Rodgers, among others. The book is curated by Brian Hiatt, of Rolling Stone magazine, as General Editor.

For all you littens in the uk this book is in the kindle daily deal for a awesome 99p! Haven't read it but by people who've worked with him talking about it so really couldn't resist it! Excuse me while I settle down for the day listening to him on vinyl and reading this

Weaponxgirl Also, bbc iplayer has a good documentary about his last 5 years on it. Love me all the Bowie 8y
Clare_Riley I bought this! I am 'slightly' obsessed with Bowie though.... 8y
Weaponxgirl @Clare_Riley the only judgement I can give is we share a Bowie obsession and a fave book so I know we'd have a good night in the pub with minimal social anxiety of wtf do we talk about from me 😉 8y
Clare_Riley 😆 Sounds like a great idea! My friends all think I read too much and listen to too much music - like those words even GO together!!🙄I think they're having me on though.... (hopefully!). 8y
Weaponxgirl @Clare_Riley lol, mine like reading but they don't average nearly as many books per year as me. They say it's great to have someone do the legwork for them and trust me when I'm pushing a book hard. Those words don't go together at all! As for the music, my ex was in a band and waaayyy more obsessed than me. Only recently I've been able to agree with them that yes I'm really into my music. My vinyl collection says so 8y
