About the Item

Ready to ship immediately. Free domestic US shipping. David Bowie and William Burroughs in Los Angeles, February 1974, signed Terry O'Neill, 8x10" print, custom framed with non-glare museum glass, 8ply matting and a simple black frame. This print was recently framed, so the frame is in new, perfect condition and is available for immediate shipping On 28 February 1974, Rolling Stone magazine published a remarkable interview between rock icon David Bowie and famed author William Burroughs. David Bowie had recently retired the Ziggy Stardust persona and was opening a new chapter of his music career. This encounter between the two icons – Bowie was a huge admirer of Burroughs – became one of the classic pieces in rock journalism ever published. Terry O’Neill’s image of the two accompanied the feature. Terry remembered the encounter well. “It was only a few weeks after I first photographed David Bowie that he rang-me up. I remember him saying ‘you have to come over to the office and meet the most interesting person.’ It was hard to turn down an opportunity like that! When I arrived, David introduced me to William Burroughs. I have to admit, I wasn’t familiar with Burroughs or his work. I could tell that David was absolutely inspired by this guy. I just thought, well, I’ll just take some photos of Bowie with this man, and that would be that. Little did I realize how important those photographs would be.”
