"Celebrated as ‘The Man Who Shot the 70s’, Mick Rock’s images define rock n’ roll. Rock launched his career in 1972 with his portrait of an unknown David Bowie and spent the next four decades capturing the most fascinating and exciting characters in rock music. Coinciding with the publication of Rock’s new book Exposed: the Faces of Rock n’ Roll, this exhibition included previously unseen and unpublished images, as well as rare and unexpected portraits. Mick Rock's images are gritty, sexy & mesmerizing. Always drawn to extreme performances, and defiant, rebellious artists, his unusual portraits encapsulated the dawning of an era, and continued to recreate it in succeeding decades through his work with underground musicians of the 1980s, 1990s and into the new millennium.
Mick truly lived the life as well as documented it, always being in the right place at the right time. Subjects that were included as part of the exhibition presented a true A to Z of rock n’ roll royalty, and included everyone from David Bowie, Debbie Harry and Iggy Pop to Andy Warhol, Kate Moss and Truman Capote."
