Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Aladdin Sane

Mark half a century of David Bowie’s iconic 1973 album with an exhibition exploring the creation of its unmistakable cover artwork and a series of live events.

The exhibition, which will launch on 6th April in the Spirit Level at the Royal Festival Hall, is set to explore the portrait by mapping how Bowie continuously reinvented his image throughout his career and inspired his fans to do the same.

Curated by Chris Duffy and Geoff Marsh, the exhibition will look at the music scene of the early 1970s, when Bowie and Brian Duffy first met, and go on to chart the relationship that developed between the musician and the photographer, which led to the 1973 photoshoot at which the Aladdin Sane image was created.

As part of the 50th-anniversary celebrations, a number of artists will pay tribute to Bowie and Aladdin Sane in the Royal Festival Hall on 21 April.
