The Mr Musichead Gallery in Los Angeles exhibition 'Fashioning Bowie, a Visual Archive from 1960-2001' opens on the 8th January until 1st March 2025.
Gallery Hours: Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm
Step into the expressive world of David Bowie with Fashioning Bowie: A
Visual Archive from 1969–2001, a captivating photography exhibition
celebrating the evolution of a true icon in music and style. This exhibition
showcases over 30 striking images by 13 renowned photographers,
capturing the looks, eras, and styles that defined Bowie’s unparalleled
presence.
From the glittering glam of Ziggy Stardust to the spiritual contemplation of
Heathen, Bowie’s boundary-pushing visual identity shaped and reshaped
culture as much as his music. Fashioning Bowie offers a rare glimpse into
the transformative artistry behind his persona, presenting Bowie not only as
a musician but as a masterful curator of his own mythology.
Highlights include Fernando Aceves’ photograph of Bowie in front of Diego
Rivera’s mural at Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes. Taken during
Bowie’s 1997 Earthling tour, this image vividly captures the artist as he
seamlessly merges with Rivera’s masterpiece. As Aceves recalls,
“Suddenly his figure seemed to merge into the painting, and I was able to
confirm why he is also known as ‘The Chameleon.’” Visitors will witness
Bowie’s transformation over three decades, as his style influenced and
reflected the changing cultural landscapes of fashion, art, and music.
Join us as we celebrate the bold, visionary spirit of David Bowie through the
lens of some of the world’s most talented photographers. Fashioning
Bowie: A Visual Archive from 1969–2001 promises an unforgettable journey
into the ever-changing world of a true cultural icon.
