Wagner that explores the extraordinary legacy of the visionary artist David Bowie, who broke conventions and redefined the limits of creativity.

His impact was seen in the fields of fashion, art, and cinema in addition to music.
This beautifully illustrated book The Art of Transformation features comments from designers, artists, and industry insiders with some of David Bowie's most recognizable outfits, album covers, and music videos.

The Art of Transformation illustrates the transformative power of art and how it influences and changes our perceptions of the world and ourselves via the narrative of David Bowie. Anyone who has ever been inspired by David Bowie's bold innovation and uncompromising adherence to his creative vision has to read this book.
