On the 19th of April 1973, the Aladdin Sane album was released to critical acclaim. The music speaks for itself but rarely has a portrait on an album cover become the definitive image of one man. Rarely has an image become known as a cultural icon (as quoted by the V&A) or popularly known as the ‘Mona Lisa of Pop’. Thousands of words have been written on the image, numerous interpretations of the pool of liquid on David Bowie’s collarbone and the lighting flash has been replicated ad infinitum.
In 2011 the Aladdin Sane Black & White Negative remaster was created by Chris Duffy. This was to coincide with the opening of a Duffy:Bowie exhibition in Beverly Hills, California, at the Stephen Webster Gallery. The image was in such high demand that it was made accessible in an open edition. The image is printed on matte paper, further enhancing the depth of the blacks and the effect of the image, making it a perfect contrast or companion to the other iconic Aladdin Sane images.
