B44592 – Genesis Publications Speed of Life Collector’s Edition Book (UK)
£1,500.00Add to basketSpeed of Life was born out of a 40-year collaboration between musician, actor and producer, David Bowie, and photographer and designer, Masayoshi Sukita. In their fine bound edition, the authors opened up Sukita’s archives to assemble a 300-page photo essay which, captioned with their own recollections and memories, traces the development of Bowie’s remarkable career from 1972 to the present day. Meeting in the early seventies, by 1980 Sukita had photographed Bowie on nearly 20 separate occasions. A connection was formed such that over the ensuing decades Sukita’s camera has never been far from the focal point of Bowie’s life and work. The narrative thread of Speed of Life begins here – in London, 1972 – and continues through to the present day. Over the course of more than 300 pages Sukita and Bowie trace their forty-year story through extended captions in both English and Japanese, informing many of the greatest images the authors have created together. The book is bound by hand in a fine-grain leather onto a cloth cover. It is housed in a handmade slipcase bound in black buckram with pink, silver and turquoise foils and leather accents. Also included is a 7″ single with parts 1 and 2 of his 1980 track ‘It’s No Game’ presented as a collector’s photographic picture disc.
This is No. 909 of 1650 limited edition collector’s copies, each hand signed by David Bowie and Masayoshi Sukita.
