During this summer &Foam, Foam’s project space at the Vijzelstraat, will exhibit an exclusive selection of images of David Bowie made by the late legendary fashion photographer Brian Duffy. Between 1972 and 1980 Duffy worked with Bowie on five of his most famous album covers - including the iconic imagery for Aladdin Sane and Lodger. The exhibition gives an insight into the creative process with a variety of prints, some of them showing behind-the-scenes, contact sheets, Polaroids, original album covers, photographs documenting the film : "The Man Who Fell to Earth" and several personal objects from the Duffy archive.
