Description

Black-and-white portrait photograph of David Bowie in close-up at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam. Captured by Nico Koster, it shows the singer in a relaxed indoor moment during his 1974 visit to the Netherlands. The image is part of Koster’s celebrated body of work documenting leading musicians and visual artists, and reflects his eye for intimate, candid portraiture.

Each print is made and signed on request by Nico Koster himself.

Provenance

Nico photographed David Bowie when Bowie visited the Netherlands in 1974 for a performance in the Toppop studio. He came to perform the song ‘Rebel Rebel’, and was joined by his wife Angie and son Zowie. Nico photographed the rock star at a very casual moment as David was waiting in the Amstel Hotel for the Edisons that evening (he also received one). After the event Nico was the only one allowed to accompany Bowie and his family to his suite, where Nico shot some beautiful portraits of the singer.
