A limited edition screen print for David Bowie's iconic album cover for Aladdin Sane, autographed by Bowie himself as well as artist Celia Philo. Described as "the Mona Lisa of album covers" by The Guardian's Mick McCann, the image of Bowie with the lightning-bolt makeup is among the most enduring visuals in rock history.

The artwork originated from a photograph by Brian Duffy, created under Philo's creative direction, before being airbrushed in silver by Philip Castle, who also added the distinctive tear on Bowie's collarbone. The result captures a pivotal moment in Bowie's career, reflecting the transition between his Ziggy Stardust persona and his emerging global stardom. Limited to 195 copies worldwide, this example is marked as #89. It is signed in pencil by Philo and Bowie, who has also written the year" '08". Dimensions: 70.25 cm x 68.25 cm (27.75" x 27")
