A Photographic Exhibit & Sale Celebrating
The Life and Career of David Bowie

"I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring." This quote, delivered by David Bowie at Madison Square Garden on his 50th birthday, is an apt description of the twists and turns of his influential career. A true chameleon of the stage, Bowie blazed his way across the universe of rock, continually reinventing himself and shifting into new looks and personas. A renaissance singer, songwriter, and performer, he shattered all norms and boundaries, forever changing the music and film scene before his untimely passing in 2016.
Although Bowie left this terrestrial world all too soon, his spirit lives on in the music and the imagery he spent decades creating. Morrison Hotel Gallery is proud to celebrate David Bowie's life with BOWIE, an exhibition and sale of the mostly highly prized photographs chronicling his stellar career. BOWIE will open with a VIP opening at all three Morrison Hotel Gallery locations in New York City, Los Angeles and Maui on February 22nd. The show opens to the public February 23rd and runs through March 23rd, 2018.
"After almost two decades of expertise in curating the shows of great artists, Morrison Hotel Gallery is very excited about this exhibit," says Casey Fannin, director of Morrison Hotel Gallery's Los Angeles location. "BOWIE will feature photographs from some of his most iconic personas. From his start as Davy Jones to his gender-bending turn as Ziggy Stardust. His performance as The Man Who Fell to Earth, and his transformation into the Thin White Duke. David Bowie, and the photographers that captured him on film, deserve to be celebrated. This is the perfect way to start off the exhibits and sales we're going to have this year."
The exclusive exhibit and sale will feature the photographs of Brian Duffy, Gerald Fearnley, Lynn Goldsmith, Bob Gruen, Guido Harari, Markus Klinko, Geoff MacCormack, Terry O'Neill, Neal Preston, Mick Rock, Masayoshi Sukita, Barry Schultz, and Barrie Wentzell. Morrison Hotel Gallery is honored to have the opportunity to showcase the exceptional work of these photographers while chronicling the career of a groundbreaking artist who forever changed the music scene.
Bowie's energy and bold style drew the lenses of the talented photographers who worked with him both on and off stage. They captured electric performances, candid, behind-the-scenes photos of him casually hanging out with fellow icons Iggy Pop, Trent Reznor, and Tina Turner, as well as crafting highly stylized shots that were to become legendary album covers.
The staff at Morrison Hotel Gallery in Maui - located at Mick Fleetwood's beautiful restaurant and entertainment venue on Front Street, Fleetwood's General Store - is equally excited about the exhibition and sale. "We are thrilled to bring the BOWIE exhibit and sale to Maui," gallery manager Ario Pardee said. "Both island locals and guests visiting from all over the world will come together to share in this fantastic experience."
"An enigma and masterpiece of his own creation, it's no secret that the multitudes of David Bowie have redefined the very essence of rock & roll," said Marcelle Murdock, director of Morrison Hotel Gallery in NY. "From the Aladdin Sane album cover shot by Brian Duffy to the intimate portraits of Geoff MacCormack, this exhibition explores the late artist in his countless angles and identities. As much a tribute to the man, the myth and the iconic moments that forever changed the music world as a celebration of the photographers that have immortalized the legend in glitter and glory, BOWIE is bound to be this spring's most talked about show."
BOWIE will open one week before the Brooklyn Museum debuts its exclusive David Bowie is exhibit featuring costumes, art, and other items from the David Bowie Archive, including a collection of photographs by the exceptional photographers whose work is available for sale at all Morrison Hotel Gallery locations.

Salt Lake City, UT (January 31, 2018) — Libertas Institute today announces the results of a new poll that indicates the two tax increases proposed under the Our Schools Now initiative effort stand to fail when voters learn about their impact.
Initial support of the initiative stands at 49.39% support with 44.28% opposed.
But after being asked a series of questions related to the ballot initiative on teacher pay, cost per Utah family, and impact on middle and lower income families, voters were asked the initiative support question a second time to see if these additional information affected their opinion of the initiative.
Support for the initiative dropped to 36.08%, with 58.12% opposed.
Details of the poll can be found here.
The survey was conducted by the Trafalgar Group (TFG), recognized for having the most accurate polling in the 2016 battleground states and Electoral College projection. The poll had 1,115 respondents from a random stratified selection of likely 2018 General Election voters in Utah and has a margin of error of 2.93%.
Commenting on the survey, Libertas Institute president Connor Boyack said, "While a very slight majority of people say they support the initiative at present, this data indicates the support is very weak—and falls apart when voters realize the significant impact the two tax increases would have on their family budget."
Boyack continued, "While many people support paying teachers more and helping students gain a better education, there are numerous ways to accommodate these efforts within existing budgets. Unfortunately, some advocates want to avoid the effort by simply taking more money from Utahns—and as the data indicates, once voters realize what they're being asked to give up, they're likely to vote against the initiative."
Today's poll follows a similar one a year ago, similarly showing an extremely narrow margin of support for the tax increase proposal.
