![]() The Duffy section feels much more like a traditional art exhibition, with plenty of information (and shoots) from his work and background. A section of it leans heavily on the work of Brian Duffy, an important Vogue alum who worked with Bowie for five sessions. Spread out through several of the downstairs rooms in The Southbank Centre, the Aladdin Sane: 50 Years celebration is made up of a vast collection of photography, anecdotes and even mementos that are attached to the album. While a lot of people talk about Ziggy Stardust’s time, or the massive shift that came with Low, Aladdin Sane is easily one of the most important transformations, and The Southbank Centre has been celebrating that, and Brian Duffy’s lightning portrait that made up the front cover, with their Aladdin Sane: 50 Years celebration installation. A large part of the charm and appeal of Bowie’s work was how he twisted and changed over time, reinventing himself - as characters - with new releases. Few creators can claim that, and fewer had successful albums released in six consecutive decades. David Bowie has, arguably, been one of the most successful and talented musical artists in human history.
