Punched by Bowie. Whacked by Dylan. Thumped by Jagger. Headlocked by James Bond. Scolded by Joanna Lumley. Photographer David Koppel spent years chasing Diana, Madonna, Sinatra, Brando, Bowie, Jagger and the world's biggest stars.
Now he reveals the stories behind the photographs: the brawls, the bribes, car chases and back-door capers that made his career.
Spotlight, the second volume of Koppel's photographic archive, launches 20th November 2026 at TAP Contemporary.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
The special evening will offer guests the opportunity to meet David Koppel in person on Friday 20th November, from 5pm to 9pm to hear first-hand the stories behind his extraordinary career and the photographs featured in his new book.
Alongside the book launch, TAP Contemporary will present an exclusive exhibition of photographs featured within the publication. The exhibition will showcase a selection of Koppel’s iconic images, offering visitors the opportunity to experience his work beyond the pages of the book. All photographs included in the exhibition will be available to purchase as limited-edition works.
The book is available to pre-order ahead of the event to avoid disappointment on the night.
