I must be only one in a…*
No Mick Rock pictures today, more in next week’s auction. Instead we have some of the actual display boards from the MTR Bowie exhibition.
Read the descriptions below each item, then click on the appropriate image to take you to that auction.
——————————————————————————————————————————
This lot comprises two 48″x30″ display boards mounted on 1/4″ foamcore, these are the actual display boards from the MTR Bowie exhibition of last year. Utilising text describing the visual presentation of David’s career, and illustrated by images from eight of his videos, (from 1972’s The Jean Genie to 1999’s Thursday’s Child) these four foot high boards were used as an introduction to the exhibition in the foyer of the MTR.
*Obviously these are unique items of which only one of each would have been made. Please bear in mind that these pictures were taken with a digital camera and don’t do the original display board’s justice.

Unless you’ve been asleep for a couple of years, I’m pretty sure everybody here will recognise this stunning image produced by Markus Klinko and Indrani for the Heathen album cover. This 48″x48″ (that’s four foot square to you) display board is mounted on 1/2″ foamcore and was originally displayed along with the boards above in the foyer of the MTR.
This is about the only time this image has appeared without the Heathen text along the bottom of it, *and again it’s a unique item of which only one would have been made.
This picture was also taken with a digital camera and again, really doesn’t do the original display board justice.
Please note: These two auctions are only open to those who can arrange to pick the items up themselves from the New York BowieNet office. We will not ship these items! If you bid, understand that it will be your responsibility to pick these items up within 10 days of the end of the auction. Thank you and good luck!
