David Bowie: Icon

photographs of one of the greatest stars in history, into a single,
luxurious volume. The result is the most important anthology of David
Bowie images that has ever been compiled. With work by many of the most
eminent names in photography, this book showcases a stunning portfolio
of imagery, featuring the iconic, the awe inspiring, the candid and the
surprising.



An astonishing 25 photographers from around the world
have contributed to this celebration. Their images are accompanied by
personal essays and reflections about working with this astonishing

sharing their memories for the first time, give us an insight into this
artist unlike any other.

When David Bowie
passed away on 10 January 2016, the world lost a musical hero. But his
legacy lives on. While his sound and style evolved throughout his career
- from Ziggy to the Thin White Duke - two facts never changed: he was
an innovator; and photographers adored him. This book pays homage to
this ultimate icon.
