CITIZEN BOWIE. Hommage to a Hero of Berlin
Three years ago, the Berlin gallery Egbert Baqué
Contemporary presented – simultaneously with the premiere
of David Bowie is at London’s Victoria & Albert Museum – the
exhibition A Tribute to David Bowie HAUPTSTRASSE The
Berlin Years 1976 – 1978. The third edition of the catalogue
to this exhibition is available at bookstores and directly from
the gallery.
At that time, after David Bowie published the video to his
song Where Are We Now, a moving, melancholy look back to
his Berlin years, on his 66th birthday on 8 January 2013, we
organised HAUPTSTRASSE spontaneously and at short notice.
The death of this exceptional artist and performer on 10
January has moved us deeply, and so we decided to once
again honour David Bowie with a tribute.
Our special exhibition CITIZEN BOWIE Homage to a Hero of
Berlin will open one day after the memorial for David Bowie
in Berlin’s Meistersaal, on Saturday, 16 January 2016, at
noon, in our gallery on Fasanenplatz. CITIZEN BOWIE will
once again bring together important works of the 2013
HAUPTSTRASSE exhibition with recent drawings by the British
artist Neal Fox and new paintings by the German artist
Wolfgang Neumann.
Because the exhibition will only be on view for eight days,
from Saturday, 16 January to Saturday, 23 January, the
gallery will be open daily from noon to 9 pm.
