Editor's Note
The critical and popular success of ‘David Bowie is’, the V&A’s major exhibition dedicated to the great pop star, continues with emphasis, and the museum is electric with excitement among visitors. Our film about Bowie features Thurston Moore, Jeremy Deller and Daphne Guiness, among others, and offers a thorough and entertaining consideration of what makes Bowie such a special artist.
The designer responsible for the covers of the last three Bowie albums is Jonathan Barnbrook. We interviewed Jonathan recently, and asked him about the clever and deceptively simple artwork for The Next Day, Bowie’s most recent album. If, having watched these two films, you are still hungry for Bowie, we suggest that you head here and watch the guests of the 'David Bowie is' gala dinner and private view – Bill Nighy, Nick Rhodes, Pixie Geldolf and others – talk about the great man and his great exhibition.
