We’re delighted to announce our upcoming show NORMAN SEEFF: FIFTY YEARS IN EXILE, which opens on 19th August and will run through the end of September. The exhibition features a collection of rare, unseen, and vintage photographs from The Rolling Stones’ 1972 session with legendary photographer, Norman Seeff. Photos from the late-night shoot were ultimately used to produce a set of postcards which were included with the original pressing of the band’s masterpiece, Exile on Main St. The album turned 50 in May. Seeff, who operates out of his studio in Burbank, California, became inspired by plans for the exhibit and plunged into his archive to look for unseen material. The deep dive bore fruit and Seeff made a number of new prints specifically for the show.
“I’ve always wanted to use my photography as source material for creating art pieces,” said Seeff. “The photos serve as a jumping-off point. I decided to use the exhibition as an opportunity to experiment. People have been very pleased with the results I think.” These amazing rare vintage prints were shown for the first time at the Rock Photography Museum in LA, and will be heading to Austin, Texas along with a stunning collection of Norman Seeff Vintage Prints, and new pieces produced especially for the show. The perfect way to mark the 50th anniversary of Exile On Main St.
The opening reception is on August 19th starting at 7PM
Our good friend Mark Shilling, CEO at Susto will be pouring a Rolling Stones-themed cocktail he’s created just for the show, “Soul Survivor”, along with a straight pour of Tumblin’Dice Bourbon to complete our Exile On Main Street bar.
