About this work

This poster is split into three tall sections. On the left, a black-and-white figure stands inside a circle, holding what looks like a guitar. The middle part is a blurry photo of a cat. The right side shows a colorful, messy design with birds and a sign that says "little pieces." The blurry cat section is from a 1994 event called *War Child*. The text mentions "Flowers East" and "London Fields." The whole thing looks like a collage of different styles. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.

The story of this work

Overview

A 1994 poster by David Bowie was created for the War Child charity exhibition "Little Pieces from Big Stars" at the Flowers East Gallery in London. The color poster features a collage of computer-generated images, including a crouching Minotaur on a rock beneath arches, a mountain range, a close-up of a Minotaur face, and multicolored limbs. The design includes a teal panel at the bottom left with the charity's name in white text and a maroon and white panel at the center right displaying the exhibition title. Bowie's signature appears within the composition at the bottom right corner.
