Description
Retouched and cleaned up the entire image. Breathed new life into this iconic image of David Bowie.
David Bowie was arrested after a performance at 2:25am on March 21, 1976, after a performance in Rochester, New York. About half a pound of marijuana was confiscated by the police.
Bowie was held with three others — including musician Iggy Pop — for three hours and then released on $2,000 bond. Bowie later pleaded not guilty and a grand jury decided to pass on the case.
Fast forward to 2007. An auction house employee named Gary Hess was clearing out the estate of a retired Rochester police officer when he stumbled across a mugshot that had been tossed in the garbage. After examining it, he realized that he was holding an unknown photo of rock star David Bowie in his hands. Short on cash, Gary gave the print to his brother Todd to sell on eBay.
The photo ended up selling on eBay in 2007 for over $2,700.
Todd Hess says he “received several hundred inquiries from around the world regarding the picture,”
“The image went on to garner legendary status among celebrity mugshots, celebrating Bowie at his creative peak.”
