Exhibition
Mick Rock: Rock Music - Idea Generation Gallery
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 has spent the last four decades capturing the most fascinating and exciting characters in rock music.
Coinciding with the publication of Mick's new book, Exposed: Faces of Rock n' Roll, Rock: Music will feature some of the most distinctive rock images of all time, including rare photographs from classic sessions with the likes of Syd Barrett, Iggy Pop and Bryan Ferry. This will be the largest UK exhibition of Mick’s work to date and will also feature brand new, never-before-seen shots of some of music's newest icons such as Lady Gaga, Karen O, Kate Moss and Brandon Flowers.
As well as an exhibition at Idea Generation Gallery, a pop up exhibition will taking place at neighbours Maurice Einhardt Neu Galleries - featuring a further selection of Mick’s images for one week only. This space will also become the live Zippo Rehearsal Rooms - a temporary space to be utilised by the best new musical talent, celebrated through live photo shoots and live band performances screened live onto Redchurch Street and via online podcasts.
