Signed By David Byrne
Personally signed by David Byrne.
As the co-founder and frontman of Talking Heads, Byrne has played an extraordinary role in the history of modern music, while his work as a solo artist, writer, visual artist and cultural commentator has continued to extend far beyond music.
For collectors, this isn't simply a signed copy of a new book — it is a signed piece of the David Byrne story.
About The Book
In Sleeping Beauties, David Byrne explores the curious journeys of ideas that initially failed to receive the recognition they deserved.
From scientific discoveries and technological developments to creative works and concepts that took years — sometimes decades — to find their audience, Byrne considers why some ideas remain dormant before eventually being rediscovered.
The book reflects Byrne's longstanding fascination with creativity, innovation and the unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated subjects.
It is a natural extension of the curiosity that has characterised his work throughout a career spanning music, art, writing and cultural exploration.
A Remarkable Career Beyond Talking Heads
David Byrne is one of the most recognisable and influential figures to emerge from the American new wave and post-punk movement.
As the founding member, principal songwriter and frontman of Talking Heads, he helped create a body of work that remains hugely influential, including landmark albums such as Remain in Light, Fear of Music, Speaking in Tongues and Stop Making Sense.
His career has subsequently encompassed solo music, film, theatre, visual art, writing and numerous collaborations, establishing Byrne as an artist whose influence extends well beyond the traditional boundaries of popular music.
