Rock, Roll & Remember: Rare Sale Photographs by Robert Altman

Fueled by motivated musicians, innovative artists and incredible writers, the tumultuous tides of the 60s in America challenged young souls to face the harsh reality of war, civil rights and extreme political change. This extraordinary challenge inspired what could arguably be considered the most culturally significant and creatively unprecedented eras in history. Famous photographer Robert Altman was at the center of it all, determined to chronicle the life and times the Sixties inspired.

 

Robert Altman's Rock, Roll & Remember Exhibition successfully captures the simultaneous cultural, social and sexual revolutions that embodied the Sixties in America. A generation built on the spirited, soulful sound of '60s rock music, politically driven passions, the birth of active feminism and Abbie Hoffman's 'yippies'.

 

Including iconic 1960s figures such as: Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Tina Turner, Jerry Garcia, George Harrison, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, Jim Morrison, Pete Townsend and Dennis Hopper, these rare, large format photographs, some measuring 8 feet high by 8 feet wide, were previously on view in Manhattan filling all 39 windows at Macy’s in Herald Square and on the grounds of the 1969 Woodstock Festival at The Museum at Bethel Woods.

“My favorite photograph has to be Tina Turner’s legs taken in October 1969 at the Gold Rush Festival in Stockton, California. Measuring 8 feet high, it would certainly be the topic of conversation hanging in a trendy south Florida residential loft,” said Victoria Ann Rehberg, president of ArtVision Exhibitions, LLC.

 

The distinguished career of photojournalist Robert Altman began during his time at Hunter College at the City University of New York. Following Altman's graduation, he was taught under the legendary photographer Ansel Adams. Altman's work can be found within the permanent collections of The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Kodak Rock Photography Collection.

In 1967, Rolling Stone magazine hired Robert, who quickly became their head staff photographer. For several decades, he has continued to head his own commercial art studio in San Fransisco. Altman has exhibited widely in the Unites States, as well as Internationally.

 

He has displayed his photographs in such high-fashion cities as London, Paris, and will soon be on the runway at Paris Fashion Week donning the collections of fashion designer Manish Arora. You can also find the works of Rober Altman in the permanent collections of The Library of Congress, The Smithsonian, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Kodak Rock Photography Collection.
