All that glittered also glistened Wednesday night when rock and roll photog extraordinaire Mick Rock unveiled “Shooting For Stardust- The Rise of David Bowie & Co.,” his new mega-sized tome for Taschen chronicling the iconic music force known as Ziggy on and off stage in the 70’s. Hot tramps (really, really hot: it was sweltering in the gallery!), young dudes, old kooks, and pretty (sweaty) things packed the party all night, angling for selfies with Rock and checking out his most famous glam-era shots in the gallery and in the massive book which was on display and available for flipping through. See some never-before-seen images from Shooting Stardust’s pages here, and check out the exhibit now through Oct. 11. Oh and bring a camera… taking the momental book home will set you back about 700 (wham-bam-thank-you) clams.
