Blood and Glitter is Mick Rock’s eyewitness account of the Glam Rock era, featuring iconic photographs of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Syd Barrett, Lou Reed, Queen, Freddie Mercury, Roxy Music, Blondie, The Ramones, and many more.
Rock’s images capture both the famous and the intimate moments behind the scenes, from rare studio sessions to live performances and candid street life. His work goes beyond mere portraiture, documenting the energy, style, and cultural turbulence of the 1970s glam and punk scenes. Highlights include the legendary 1972 portraits of Iggy Pop (used for Raw Power) and David Bowie (Space Oddity), as well as revealing sessions with Syd Barrett and Johnny Rotten.
This Japanese edition offers bilingual content (English & Japanese) and presents a comprehensive visual encyclopedia of Rock’s immersive career, blending the glamour of the stage with the bohemian lifestyles of New York and London. As Mick Rock himself states: “I was not an outsider looking in. I lived it.”
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
