Duffy Retrospectiva - Aladdin Sane Poster - Contemporanea Spain, 2012

This is an original exhibition poster from The Duffy Retrospective in Zaragoza, Spain, which ran from September 6th to November 11th, 2012. Due to the 'vintage' nature of this print it may show some minor signs of storage/handling.

Contemporanea was founded in 1996 as an organization that promotes art through activities and cultural programs in Spain and worldwide.

The show was described as - “Bowie Series” opening will be on February 14 at La Termica, an artspace created by Malaga Diputacion Provincial. This exhibition is a visual record of the photographic genius. Duffy’s newly restored body of work firmly cements his place in British photography as part of the notorious “Black Trinity” that defined the visual language of swinging sixties London and pre-Punk era.

The exhibition includes a unique collection of photographs never before seen behind the scenes images will feature in the exhibition. “Duffy. Bowie Series” comprises of images taken during
