LOOKING BACK FIFTY YEARS TO BOWIE’S 28TH BIRTHDAY

“Slim tie, Showdown, Can't stop…” *

It’s 8th January in David Bowie’s UK birthplace and it’s wonderful to see all the appreciation already shown for him around the globe on what would have been his 78th birthday today.

The love for DB via social posts, live tributes and fan meetings is quite incredible. You know how moved he would have been.

The image we’ve used was taken on David’s 28th birthday on this day in 1975. He was snapped by Robin Platzer at the star-studded opening of the Lajeski Gallery in New York, where sixty artists exhibited their interpretation of ‘The Condition of the Tie today'.

Here’s an edited excerpt from a report in The New York Times headed: The Theme Was Ties, the Opening Slightly Mad...

The show’s theme was “The Condition of the Tie Today,” and its purpose was, as Yoko Ono, artist and former Beatle wife, put it, “fun in this time of depression.”

So for fun's sake, if not always for art's sake, about 1,000 guests and gate‐crashers from the worlds of art, fashion, music and theater and from the fringes of these worlds, jammed into 22‐yearold Gary Lajeski's new chrome and glass winter digs in the old Valentino building. It's an extension of his Tower Gallery in Southampton.

They came with and without tie and in a variety of dress and undress.

Pop singers, ranging from glitter (David Bowie) to bubble gum (David Cassidy), mingled with actors and socialites who were trundled back and forth from the Plaza Hotel by carriage.

* Actually, Bowie’s tie was far from slim, having been a fan of neckwear as a statement for some time already.
