Photography Show... Who Shot Rock & Roll





October 30, 2009–January 31, 2010
Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing, 5th Floor

Siouxsie Sioux (1982, NYC)

The exhibition is in six sections: rare and revealing images taken behind the scenes; tender snapshots of young musicians at the beginnings of their careers; exhilarating photographs of live performances that display the energy, passion, style, and sex appeal of the band on stage; powerful images of the crowds and fans that are often evocative of historic paintings; portraits revealing the soul and creativity, rather than the surface and celebrity, of the musicians; and conceptual images and album covers highlighting the collaborative efforts between the image makers and the musicians.
