Photographs of this flat can be found in archive file DBA/5/15/15; however, the kitchen is not captured. Alternatively, it may be the apartment of another friend or acquaintance in Berlin.\n\nAntony Clavet was a Canadian makeup artist and hair stylist who worked with David Bowie extensively and became a close friend. In 1977, Clavet came to Berlin to work as the hair and makeup artist on the film<i> Just a Gigolo, i</i>n which Bowie was starring and which was being filmed on location in West Berlin.\n\nCorinne 'Coco' Shwab was David Bowie's personal assistant, close friend and confidante throughout his life. She lived in Berlin with Bowie and Iggy Pop between 1976-1978. Coco had encouraged Bowie to move to Berlin in order to detox from cocaine addiction, and supported him through this process. \n\n","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Framed photograph of Coco Schwab and Antony Clavet in the kitchen of a flat in Berlin, ca. 1977","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[{"text":"Schwab, Corinne 'Coco'","id":"AUTH405987"},{"text":"Clavet, Antony","id":"AUTH409920"}],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["LOAN:AMERICASFOUNDATION.1566:1-2024","LOAN:AMERICASFOUNDATION.1566:2-2024"],"accessionNumberNum":"1566","accessionNumberPrefix":"LOAN:AMERICASFOUNDATION","accessionYear":2024,"otherNumbers":[{"type":{"text":"David Bowie Archive Number","id":"THES394108"},"number":"0000.5000.0070"}],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-05-19","recordCreationDate":"2024-06-11","availableToBook":false}}
