DAVID BOWIE.
ORIGINAL 1972.
ZIGGY STARDUST LIVE AT
THE WINTERLAND AUDITORIUM
HALLOWEEN WEEKEND POSTER.
By poster artist RANDY TUTEN.
PLUS PROOF.
I bought this poster DIRECT from the poster artist the great Randy Tuten
about 15 years ago.I met Randy through the Detroit photographer Leni Sinclair.
If your a music fan these are two names you really should look up.
Randy has worked with almost everyone from Elvis to Bowie ,he did the
Tumbling Dice posters for the Rolling Stones 1972 tour of the Americas, he
now has a vey good website with tons of his work on there.
I also bought a full set of handbills for Bowie`s Winterland Shows on this Halloween
weekend.
PLEASE BE AWARE. THIS AUCTION IS FOR THE POSTER ONLY!
THE HANDBILLS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE AUCTION THEY
ARE ONLY THERE TO PROVE THE PROVINANCE OF THIS GREAT
POSTER .
After I had paid for the poster , and the full set of handbills incidentally his very
last ones . I wanted 2 sets but he only had the one left. I had no interest in second
reprints.
I was getting on really well with Randy and so I thought I would try and
push a few bounderies . So I asked "Randy could I possibly press you to
do a little artwork for me with the word Bowie in it please, as a centrepiece
for my handbills?".
He said
"Let me get this straight Alan, am I doing this artwork for you for free?"
I said "Yes"..
He said "ive worked for a lot of people who are household names,
but never for free".I said "Randy please I would be very greatful".
He said "Working for free,this is very bad, how the hell did I end up here ?
Ill have to think about it..."
And if you double click the pictures you can see Randy`s good
will message to me and yes he came good with a fantastic piece of
artwork that would sit proudly on the front of any Bowie LP.
A really lovely guy. You will have to excuse the state of our music
room we have building work going on here so the house is a bit of a
junk yard. I put that shot in there to just show a bit of what my lifes
hobby has been ive collected records and music memorabilia all of my
life. My collecting is large and I just need to trim it down a bit.
The poster is framed using none reflective glass and acid free materials
and is in excellent condition.
The diementions of the poster are 23 inches x 14 inches.
This style of poster is known as the Boxing Style ie. its not
square. I think this style is much more desirable.
The diementions of the Frame is 30 and1/2 x 19 inches.

Something you might want to take into consideration when your thinking
about where you would value such a RARE ORIGINAL 1972
Ziggy Stardust poster that is GUARENTEED, not to be a later re-print.
KNOWING it comes DIRECT from the hands of the WORLD FAMOUS
poster artist Randy Tuten`s San Francisco art studio. Not only is this poster in
MINT UNUSED CONDITION. The value of rare GENUINE rock posters of
this nature and calibre is on the rise. Look up a great book called
the Art of Rock from (Presley to Punk), there all in there and there is a great
chapter on Randy Tuten.
This magnificent poster is even ready to hang. Double click the pictures and
have a look at this wonderful frame job complete with a description stating
exactly what this is.
Back in 2001 when I bought this from Randy, I was so proud and amazed by
this item and the source, that I did not scrimp a penny on the frame job and
14 years ago it still cost me £95 to complete this beautifully presented item.
What would it cost to frame in this quality today ? My guess is £300 or more.
Picture this item on your music room wall. It would add a cool sense of
authentic rock atmosphere and certainly an abundance of REAL GENUINE BOWIE
history too. In 1972 this must have been an important piece of marketing as RCA
was trying to CRACK the American market and build on the success they had in
England with their new artist David Bowie. It is a great an important piece of the
David Bowie story, yours to own don't loose it for a single bid this item is
truly worth your best shot so bid to win. Good luck.
