Between 1972 and 1980 Duffy worked with Bowie on five powerful photo sessions — from Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and White Sands to Lodger and Scary Monsters. 

The show will feature a wealth of rare and previously unreleased images from all five sessions.

“For me, this show is a celebration of the dynamic relationship between two of the centuries greatest artistic innovators – both of whom have strong family ties to Ireland. I have been working closely with Chris Duffy, an incredible photographer in his own right, to bring this important show to the capital. The vibrancy, energy and knowledge that he exudes is infectious and we are so excited to welcome him back to Ireland. I am delighted to bring the gallery back to life with such an incredible show.”

Amazing chance for all Bowie fans to admire incredible work. 

The exhibition in Christchurch will run from April 13 for approximately three weeks.

Not to be missed.
