{"product_id":"david-bowie-london-1972","title":"David Bowie, London, 1972 (1)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"138\" data-end=\"531\"\u003ePhotographed in London in 1972 during a visit to Tony Defries’ office on Regent Street, this image captures David Bowie at a pivotal moment in the construction of his Ziggy Stardust persona. Seated casually, dressed in a striking outfit, and immersed in a quiet moment between conversation and performance, Bowie appears fully in control of a transformation that was still unfolding in public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"533\" data-end=\"869\"\u003eThe photograph was taken during an interview with \u003cem data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"597\"\u003eMelody Maker\u003c\/em\u003e, in which Bowie openly declared his sexuality—an unprecedented statement at the time. The image was subsequently published on the magazine’s front cover, reversed in orientation, and quickly became associated with a turning point in his rise to international recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003eRather than documenting a staged performance, the photograph reflects the intersection of image, identity, and media at a moment when Bowie’s public persona was being actively constructed. It stands as a record of both presence and intention, marking the emergence of one of the most influential figures in modern music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003eArchival pigment print.\u003cbr data-start=\"1216\" data-end=\"1219\"\u003e30 × 40 inches available as archival digital print only.\u003cbr data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003eOpen edition.\u003cbr data-start=\"1291\" data-end=\"1294\"\u003eSigned by the photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barrie Wentzell","offers":[{"title":"16x20 inch \/ 40x50 cm","offer_id":47537015947494,"sku":null,"price":1900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x24 inch \/ 50x60 cm","offer_id":47537015980262,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x40 inch \/ 75x100 cm","offer_id":47537016045798,"sku":null,"price":3500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/2426\/0838\/files\/david-bowie-london-1972-barrie-wentzell-tmpg.jpg?v=1776119245","url":"https:\/\/musicphoto.store\/products\/david-bowie-london-1972","provider":"The Music Photo Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
