Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present
October 23, 2010 - January 23, 2011
Karl and Bertl Arnstein Galleries
For the first time as a major museum exhibition, the story of rock 'n' roll is being told from the perspective of the men and women who not only chronicled the genre, but defined it comprehensively - the photographers. Acknowledging both their creative and collaborative role in the history of rock music, the exhibition features 175 pictures by 105 photographers including Richard Avedon, Anton Corbijn, Diane Arbus, Annie Leibovitz and many others.
Organized by the Brooklyn Museum of Art with guest curator Gail Buckland, Who Shot Rock & Roll is broken into six sections: rare and revealing images taken behind the scenes; tender snapshots of young musicians at the beginnings of their careers; exhilarating photographs of live performances that display the energy, passion, style and sex appeal of the band on stage; powerful images of the crowds and fans that are often evocative of historic paintings; portraits revealing the soul and creativity, rather than the surface and celebrity, of the musicians; and conceptual images and album covers highlighting the collaborative efforts between the image makers and musicians.
