LOUIS SIDOLI - TIME TAKES A CIGARETTE
This limited edition was inspired by the track “Rock N Roll Suicide” from the Ziggy Stardust album of 1972. It references “Gitane” French cigarettes that Bowie was famous for smoking in the 70’s and 80’s. It depicts smoke drifting out of a pair of lips in the French tricolour. The main image is Bowie’s mugshot taken on March 21, 1976, after a performance in Rochester, New York. About half a pound of marijuana was confiscated by the police. Bowie was held with three others including Iggy Pop, for several hours and then released on $2,000 bond. Bowie later pleaded not guilty and a grand jury decided to pass on the case.
A myriad of materials are used to create this incredible artwork. Brushed aluminium with a high gloss finish is accompanied by traditional hand-blown glass neon tubing which sets off the piece perfectly.
