4 x Large 42 x 30 cm black and white photographs taken by Masayoshi Sukita. stamped on the reverse c Photo by SUKITA.
Before having even heard his music, Sukita saw a striking poster of David Bowie promoting a concert and felt he had to go, purely on the strength of the poster. Sukita admired Bowie’s innovative performance style and related to his cinematic influences, and secured a meeting to present his portfolio to Bowie’s former manager. This was no mean feat, considering his English was very limited. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive, and a portrait session with Bowie was arranged. This photo-shoot, in the summer of 1972, began a 40-plus-year collaboration between the two artists.
Purchased by the Vendor in 1991 in Brisol - Housed in two large folders the photographs have been split according to the era of David Bowies Career into an impressive 21 lots of Photographs.
