Mick Rock — The Rise of David Bowie 1972–1973

Mick Rock — The Rise of David Bowie 1972–1973

Compiled in 2015 with David Bowie's blessing and published by TASCHEN, this is the closest thing to a definitive photographic record of the Ziggy Stardust period. Mick Rock was Bowie's official photographer and creative collaborator across the years The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars reshaped what a rock performer could be, and the book gathers stage shots, backstage portraits and album imagery from the entire run.

It works on two levels: as a tightly-edited concert-photography monograph, and as a primary document of one of the most thoroughly considered acts of self-invention in twentieth-century music. Hardcover, 300 pages.
