.- If youre a David Bowie fan, its your dream come true: the chance to buy original artwork, designs, portraits, sculptures and band photo shoots from the personal collection of the artist who designed the cover to one of his most successful albums.
When Bowie commissioned Edward Bell to create the album artwork for Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), the highly acclaimed album following the seminal Berlin Trilogy, it was the beginning of a relationship that was to last into the 1990s, taking in the rock and pop chameleons Tin Machine period too.
