This exclusive exhibition showcased, for the very first time, remarkable photos of iconic Andy Warhol Superstars such as Jackie Curtis, Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, and others. These images captured their rehearsals for Jackie's play "Vain Victory" and various events in the vibrant New York of the early 1970s.
This thought-provoking exhibition presented a selection of exceptionally rare and previously unseen photographs. It included captivating documentation related to the groundbreaking underground hit "Walk on the Wild Side" written by Lou Reed.
"Bob Dylan: Vintage Photographs" was a Group Show featuring works by Daniel Kramer, Bob Gruen, Elliott Landy, and Ebet Roberts.
For this remarkable selection, we delved deep into the archives of these prolific photographers, collaborating closely with them in their studios in New York City and Woodstock. In this process, we unveiled treasures that had been safely preserved for decades: unique artistic pieces, many of which had never been showcased before this event. As a result, this exhibition offered a rare glimpse into Bob Dylan's early career, capturing intimate moments from every angle: on the stage, in the studio, and at home with his family. It was a privilege to present, for the first time, this collection of rarely seen vintage prints, providing a profound chronicle of the legendary artist's journey.
TMPG proudly presents a solo show by Bob Gruen, curated by Julien Frydman. This exceptional exhibition showcases a collection of Gruen's seldom-seen vintage prints, contact sheets, polaroids, and original documentation, providing a captivating chronicle of the vibrant music scene in America during the 1960s and 70s.
The exhibition commences with remarkable TV set images from Bob Dylan's iconic 'Hard Rain' concert, followed by a captivating display of original vintage prints capturing David Bowie's unforgettable "Young Americans" concert. Furthermore, we are honored to present an exceedingly rare vintage 1974 John Lennon C-Print, a true gem for enthusiasts and collectors alike. The show also features select series portraying legendary figures such as Debbie Harry and Patti Smith.
