Parker Gallery welcomes Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone Magazine’s first chief photographer, for a photo retrospective and book launch. This special exhibition will launch the world debut of Wolman’s new limited-edition collectors book Jimi Hendrix 1968/1970 and showcase specially curated photographs from his archives.

Wolman not only witnessed what is without a doubt the most important period of change in popular music and popular culture, but his photographs helped shape it. He is one of the most collectible and globally recognized music photographers of the 20th century. His role with Rolling Stone Magazine encapsulated and distilled the most important events and changes as they were taking place. Each issue spoke to this evolving youth culture in a language that was all its own and Wolman’s photos captured the events and personalities that visualized the music. His photos began with the first issue of the magazine in October 1967 and appeared on 22 covers along with countless other photos that appeared within the magazine including iconic images of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin (a neighbor of Baron’s), the Grateful Dead, The Who, Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Santana, Bob Dylan and more. In addition to his photographs, Wolman will debut a new very limited edition, deluxe signed book featuring Jimi Hendrix photos taken at the Fillmore West on February 1968.

Wolman will appear at the gallery on the opening weekend, Friday, Nov. 2 to Saturday, Nov. 3, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., as well as the opening, Thursday, Nov. 1, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., and will showcase a specially curated collection of his photographs through Nov. 18. On Saturday, Nov. 3 at 5:30 p.m., a special 15-minute film on Baron Wolman & his legacy will be shown.

The exhibit is free and all works are available for purchase. C. Parker Gallery is located at 409 Greenwich Ave. To learn more, visit cparkergallery.com
