Bailey’s Stardust is a landmark
exhibition of portraits by one of the world’s most distinguished and
distinctive photographers, David Bailey.
Over 250 images, personally selected and printed by Bailey,
will be presented thematically across a series of contrasting rooms and will
illustrate the extraordinary range of subjects that he has captured throughout
his career: actors, writers, musicians, filmmakers, designers, models, artists
and people encountered on his travels; many of them famous, some anonymous, all
of them unforgettable.
Sitters range from the glamorous to the impoverished, the famous to
the notorious, as Bailey picks out the highlights of an
illustrious 50-year career.
His selection includes icons from the worlds of fashion and the arts,
such as Mick Jagger and Francis Bacon, as well as the people he
encountered on his travels in Australia, India and Papua New Guinea.
Also included are pictures from his Democracy project, in which
visitors to his studio were asked if they would agree to be photographed
naked. Meanwhile images of those devastated by the famine in east Africa
were taken in support of the Band Aid charity in 1985.
The photographer has made new silver gelatin prints of his
black-and-white portraits especially for the exhibition.
