Diamond Dogs. Bowie, David (British. Born 1947.) By challenging the conventional boundaries between man and beast, this Guy Peellaert illustration centers on the resplendent image of David Bowie, here pictured discussing his traditional southern hairstyle with country and western mother/daughter act the Judds. The full work opens to a gatefold panorama to reveal the artist's lower body depicted as a virile male canine. This provocative likeness was banned by RCA, making the original artwork a rare treasure among fans of both Bowie and the polymammalianly perverse. The most valuable piece in the gallery, the accompanying recording, marked the beginning of the end of Bowie's pioneering glam rock, leaving one defining masterstroke of the genre in the single "Rebel Rebel."
