The exhibition will explore the broad range of Bowie's collaborations with artists and designers in the fields of fashion, sound, graphics, theatre, art and film.

Brian Duffy (Duffy) joined Artist Partners as the assistant to Adrian Flowers, another hugely talented photographer, in the early 1950’s.

It is Duffy's iconic images of the 1960's and 'Swinging London' along with his fashion photography for Elle, Vogue and Glamour that he is remembered for. He also shot two Pirelli calenders - 1965 and 1973 - and the most iconic image of the 1970's, the cover of David Bowie's 'Aladdin Sane'. Duffy also did two more album covers for Bowie - 'Scary Monsters' and 'The Lodger'.

Duffy was one of the most dynamic and inventive photographers of the 1960s. Together with his old muckers Terence Donovan and David Bailey, he made up 'The Black Trinity', a soubriquet used by Norman Parkinson to describe his new, highly successful competition.

Duffy died on 31st May, 2010 and the world of creative photography is a poorer place without him.
