This Thin White Duke #3 exhibition poster is from the Bowie Taken by Duffy show in Madrid, Spain, which ran from March 15 to June 23, 2023. The exhibition featured over 160 items from the Duffy Archive, most of which had never been seen before.
In the cult movie ‘The Man Who Fell to Earth’, David Bowie played the part of an alien and was widely acclaimed for his acting role. The film was shot in 1975 and directed by Nick Roeg on location in New Mexico with an all-British crew. The Sunday Times commissioned Duffy to take behind-the-scenes photographs on the film set. Duffy had an established friendship with Bowie by this time, and they drove out to White Sands (where the world’s first atomic bomb was detonated) to shoot these extraordinary photographs using only two rolls of film just as the sun was setting. Duffy used a long exposure with a triple flash unit that he had modified. David stood very still during the exposure, with the exception of moving his hands.
There are 5 posters available from the show, which can be seen here.
The poster is 50cm x 70cm and will be delivered rolled in a poster tube. As a mark of authenticity, all posters from the Duffy Archive are embossed with a large Duffy Archive stamp.
The press release from the show can be seen on David Bowie News.
