Painting and Sculpture
David Bowie Is was a touring museum exhibition displaying history, artefacts and information about the life, music, films, tours, and art of the English singer-songwriter and actor David Bowie. The show opened in March 2013 at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and ended in July 2018 at the Brooklyn Museum in New York City. Over its five-year run, it stopped at 12 museums around the world and attracted over two million visitors. At each museum, the exhibition displayed about 500 objects; often a few hundred were unique to that particular museum. An accompanying documentary film, also titled David Bowie Is, was directed by Hamish Hamilton, Katy Mullan, and Hanif Kureishi. After the exhibition closed in July 2018, it was announced that in early 2019 a new, virtual version of the exhibition would be released on virtual and augmented reality platforms.
