Explore the life, work and extraordinary creative legacy of David Bowie in David Bowie Is Inside, the extended paperback edition of the landmark V&A exhibition book.
Originally published to accompany the groundbreaking David Bowie Is exhibition, this revised edition offers rare access to Bowie’s personal archive of performance costumes, handwritten lyrics, photographs, artwork and other ephemera.
Tracing his career from its beginnings in London through the breakthroughs of Space Oddity and Ziggy Stardust, the book examines Bowie’s continual experimentation with music, performance, fashion, art and identity. It also considers his influential collaborations and place within the wider story of twentieth-century avant-garde culture.
Featuring material from an archive of more than 80,000 objects secured for the David Bowie Centre at V&A East, this richly illustrated book provides an absorbing introduction to one of the most innovative and influential artists of modern times.
