The Clash | Bob Gruen / Vintage Photographs
TMPG presents a special selection of vintage prints, one-of-a-kind pieces and limited edition artworks, which have been developed by the artist in the years the shots were made.
The body of work includes some never-before-seen images. It consists of photographs taken in the studio, on stage, on the street, in work situations or also in relaxation and fun.
When Bob met The Clash, a synergy of mutual respect and musical passion was established, leading to six years of documenting the adventures of the world-revered band. His relationship with them in those years transcended the professional sphere, having made him one more member of the group. It could be literal, given that Bob Gruen played trumpet at one of their shows.
