John Rowlands
David Bowie The Archer - New special XL edition - 70x40"

1976

About the Item

Special XL limited edition series - paper size 70" wide x 40" high This iconic image of David Bowie as The Thin White Duke was taken by renowned Rock photographer, John Rowlands, on February 26th, 1976, at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Canada. Having seen the previous evening’s show on the 1976 Station To Station tour, Rowlands was primed to capture the image of Bowie as The Archer while the singer was preparing to fire his imaginary bow and arrow. The pose was used as a signal for Bowie's lighting engineer to kill the lights. The picture was taken moments before the lights were killed. Rowlands took the shot about 30 feet away from the stage and he credits his Hasselblad camera for producing an image that is striking in its sharp tonal range of whites, blacks and grays. Signed limited edition print. Edition 20 with certificate of authenticity. Signed and numbered by photographer John Rowlands Printed image dimensions - 33" high x 66" wide Paper dimensions - 40" high x 70" wide
