A portrait of Bowie : a tribute to Bowie by his artistic collaborators & contemporaries / introduction & interviews, Brian Hiatt.

Hiatt, Brian, (interviewer, author of introduction, etc).

Summary:

"HIS LIFE WAS A WORK OF ART Now, artists and musicians who worked with David Bowie throughout his life, or were his contemporaries, pay tribute to the icon through 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 - and alongside these text tributes are 40 stunning illustrative and photographic portraits of Bowie throughout his life. The contributing artists include: George Underwood (a childhood friend of Bowie's who caused the unusual appearance of Bowie's eyes after punching him in a fight), Derek Boshier (an artistic collaborator and friend of Bowie's) and Stephen Finer (similarly, a friend and artistic collaborator). Text contributions will comprise pieces by various musicians and artists who worked closely with Bowie during his career, including Nile Rodgers, Cyndi Lauper, Carlos Alomar, Earl Slick, Debbie Harry & Chris Stein, Mike Garson and more."--Wheelers.co.nz.
