Celebrated as ‘The Man Who Shot the 70s’, Mick Rock’s images define rock n’ roll. Mick Rock launched his career in 1972 with his portrait of David Bowie, documenting the Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, and shot the videos Life on Mars and Space Oddity.
He also spent the next four decades capturing the most fascinating and exciting characters in rock music: from Queen, Debbie Harry, Courtney Love to Mick Jagger.
Coinciding with the publication of Rock’s new book Exposed: the Faces of Rock n’ Roll (available to purchase in the gallery), Rock: Music includes many previously unseen and unpublished images, as well as rare and unexpected portraits from some of Mick’s classic shoots.
"London in the late sixties and early seventies was a hotbed of creative interchange. The prevalent hippie philosophy united all manner of artists, musicians, film makers, models, designers, actors, writers, and photographers into a unique and fertile community. My timing was excellent. Curiosity and circumstance drew me into the flame of rock n’ roll." - Mick Rock.
Until the 16th January.
