David Bowie [EPUB ebook] 
The Collector

Was Bowie an aloof and unavailable artist, or a ‘Starman’ who descended to bring good news to the masses…a chameleon?
David Bowie: The Collector teases out the elements which Bowie used to build his success: his profound sense of artifice, his ability to tap into the zeitgeist of his times and his gift for gathering ideas and influences from a variety of sources and rearranging them to produce not only new perspectives but also brand-new ideas. Revealed by the testimony of his closest friends and partners we see Bowie with humour, grace and humility – a highly focused Bowie – borrowing and combining ideas from multiple sources and creating new visions.
Praise for this book.
‘A gripping read and a must for Bowie fans. Packed with intricate, well-researched and little-known detail on the multi-dimensional swirl around Bowie’s creative genius.’ Victoria Broackes, co-curator of ‘David Bowie is’ (V&A)
‘There are scores of books about the legend that is David Bowie which investigates his life, body and soul, but this dives deep into the DNA of a polymath, a performer, a poet and a prophet whose story captivated generations and will continue to enchant for those yet to come.’ Robin Morgan, Media Director.
