Prints in this category may have been previously displayed in a gallery or exhibition or cut down from larger images. Prints may be cut from larger images to remove framing tape, labels, embossing, or markings. They may show signs of handling that will not be perceivable when framed. They are not editions, do not have any embossing, and are supplied unmounted. The paper is the same that we use for all of our edition prints and they are printed on the same machines in the archive. Aladdin Sane On the 19th of April 1973, the Aladdin Sane album was released to critical acclaim. The music speaks for itself but rarely has a portrait on an album cover become the definitive image of one man. Rarely has an image become known as a cultural icon (as quoted by the V&A) or popularly known as the ‘Mona Lisa of Pop’. Thousands of words have been written on the image, numerous interpretations of the pool of liquid on David Bowie’s collarbone and the lighting flash has been replicated ad infinitum. During the Aladdin Sane album cover photo session in 1973, Duffy shot Bowie in the same position as the final record cover with his eyes open, revealing his permanently dilated left eye. One of his most recognisable features was incurred in 1962 during a fight over a girl with his lifelong friend George Underwood. The Aladdin Sane Eyes Open image was discovered by the Duffy Archive over 30 years later and revealed to the world for use in the record-breaking 'David Bowie is V&A exhibition becoming as iconic as the classic album cover in the process. The exhibition toured worldwide with over 2 million visitors. Aladdin Sane 50 Book For the 50th anniversary of this image, the Aladdin Sane 50 book was written in celebration of this iconic session with David Bowie. Half a century after the album’s release this image is still controversial, fresh, challenging, beautiful and ethereal. One never tires of its simplicity and boldness.
