The New York City edition of David Bowie is also promises to have “never-before-seen objects and work exclusive to the Brooklyn Museum presentation.”
“Since David Bowie is left the V&A, London in August 2013, nearly 1.8 million visitors have flocked to see the exhibition as it has travelled around the world, a testament to Bowie’s depth, breadth and worldwide reach and the public’s interest in the processes of creation behind such a uniquely influential performer,” said Victoria Broackes, one of the collection’s curators. “Bowie himself left England in 1974 to eventually settle in America, so we could not be more delighted that the final leg of the tour brings the show back to New York, where Bowie made his home.”
