"Time Takes A Cigarette" David Bowie by Louis Sidoli

Image Size: 80 x 120 cm

Framed Size: 95 cm x 125cm

Edition size of only 10

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 based on the original mugshot of David Bowie who was arrested on March 21, 1976, after a performance in Rochester, New York. About half a pound of a “certain substance that you smoke” 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.
