“I do not use the word “genius” lightly but if David Bowie is not a genius, then there is no such thing”
~ Mick Rock
“As an adolescent, I was painfully shy, withdrawn. I didn’t really have the nerve to sing my songs on stage and nobody else was doing them. I decided to do them in disguise so that I didn’t have to actually go through the humiliation of going on stage and being myself”
~ David Bowie
ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK
Well I happen to think David Bowie was a genius too. Constantly re-inventing himself over a long and productive career. He made my day several years ago when he came into my booth at an art fair in New York and asked the most intelligent questions about a great, rarely seen Henri Cartier-Bresson photograph . He was dressed in an immaculate beautiful blue suit and I asked him where he got it from. Of course I knew the answer. He politely said without any condescension “Someone made it for me”. It was a great fair.
