David Bowie Instagram – V&A BOWIE ADVERT IN MOJO “Yeah! I ran to the street looking for information…” The first picture here is one of Mick Rock’s backstage photos of Bowie in Scotland in May 1973, possibly the Music Hall in Aberdeen on the 16th…somebody will know. The second image is the full-page V&A advert running in the current edition of MOJO magazine (April). The ad was published to build excitement for the Bowie Archive which will open at V&A East Storehouse in 2025. It’s of an anabas poster issued in 1974 with a photograph taken possibly at the same 1973 Aberdeen show. If memory serves, this shot, along with others, was taken for a local newspaper report. The anabas company cornered the market with this type of thing, licensing an image which would be repeated across several pieces of merchandise, including a badge, pendant, keyring and poster. See the third image for the pendant utilising the same shot. The final image is the full-length version of the first shot because it would be rude not to include it. 📸 Mick Rock #BowieArchiveVAM #BowieScotland
