His pictures of rock luminaries are instantly recognisable, and now Gered Mankowitz’s iconic images are on display at a free gallery exhibition in the Gibson Garage London.
The Gibson Gallery, a bi-annual revolving gallery wall displaying photographs of British artists and musicians, also features rare and unseen portraits from Mankowitz’s personal archive.
Mankowitz has captured the essence of rock & roll over six decades, famously shooting Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Jimi Hendrix, Richard and Linda Thompson, Kate Bush, and Oasis, amongst many others.
Mankowitz was The Rolling Stones’ official photographer from 1965–67, producing iconic album covers, and capturing the band onstage, and at home.
Mankowitz has captured the essence of rock & roll over six decades…
Speaking at the Gibson Garage London, to mark the opening of the exhibition, Mankowitz declared: “In 1976 I thought my music career was over. I saw The Dammed and The Adverts at the roundhouse, and I thought this (punk) was not for me, I’m out. Then I was approached by Generation X, who saw something in my photography. Billy Idol came to my studio and asked if I could do for his band what I had done for the Rolling Stones in the sixties. I thought I was out, but they pulled me back in!”
Mankowitz was reportedly inspired to take up photography by actor Peter Sellers.
In early 1965, Andrew Loog Oldham asked Mankowitz to photograph the Rolling Stones, who he also managed and produced. This was a major turning point in Mankowitz’s career because from this first session came the cover for Out of Our Heads, and as a result, he was asked by the Stones to go to America with them on their 1965 Autumn Tour.
Mankowitz’s iconic work is on display for six months inside the Gibson Garage, 61-62 Eastcastle St, London. The exhibition has been curated by RedHouse Gallery in association with Iconic Images.
