The Challenge

Taschen wanted to create an experience on par with the legendary Ziggy Stardust.


The Solution

A vibrant tribute to David Bowie complete with 5-phase lenticular cover. We celebrate the eternal inspiration of a transformative artist.

The artist’s official photographer, Mick Rock, captured this iconic collection of stage shots, backstage candids, and more.

The large format hardcover book follows the musical, theatrical, and sexual revolution of the 1972–73 Ziggy Stardust world tour.

The launch event celebrated the life and work of both artists through images, installations, and a special limited XXL edition.
