David Bowie UNSEEN by Tony McGee

Imitate Modern is proud to present a solo exhibition of British photographer Tony McGee, featuring a selection of photographs of David Bowie, some of which have never been seen or exhibited before.
David Bowie was one of the world’s best-selling artists and his image left a footprint in the minds of a few generations as one of the world’s most charismatic and recognisable figures. However, few have had the opportunity to photograph Bowie and even fewer knew him as personal as photographer Tony McGee, with whom he shared a very close professional and friendly relationship.
“David Bowie is an icon, probably the most inventive musician during the last 80 years. To have worked with him on such a personal level was an enormous honour. This collection of images is ‘Unseen’, and it shows David in his private 'off camera' moments.” - Tony McGee
