David Bowie Aladdin Sane Print – Triple Signed Limited Edition

David Bowie Aladdin Sane Print Triple Signed Limited Edition. Step into Bowie history with this rare, triple-signed limited edition Aladdin Sane print, personally autographed by David Bowie, Celia Philo, and Philip Castle.

This powerful portrait – photographed in 1973 and released as a limited edition in 2008 – captures the moment that changed Bowie’s public image forever. What began as an exploration of genie-like visuals turned iconic when Bowie’s makeup artist suggested using the lightning bolt design from the band’s drum kit. The final composition, complete with Castle’s legendary silver airbrushing and the symbolic tear resting in Bowie’s collarbone, became a cultural landmark in music and art.

The creative direction led by Celia Philo turned this visual into something timeless. In her words, upon seeing the first contact sheets, “We had a knockout image on our hands.” And she was right – it’s one of the most reproduced photographs in rock history.

“Step into the electrifying world of David Bowie’s Aladdin Sane with these exclusive hand-signed limited edition prints. Capturing the essence of one of Bowie’s most iconic personas, each print is a masterpiece that reflects the avant-garde spirit and musical genius of the legendary Starman.
