Rock Shots

The Clash, Debbie Harry, David Bowie, the Who, Prince, Patti Smith, KISS, and Led Zeppelin: over four decades, rock photographer Bob Gruen has shot them all. He’s lensed John Lennon on his apartment rooftop; Debbie Harry in an old midway; the Ramones on a subway; and Sid Vicious eating a nauseatingly messy hot dog. And now his iconic images are set to go on view in Vancouver. Music fans will want to catch the exhibit, Rockers, Gruen’s first on Canada’s West Coast, and relive the magic of some bygone legends shot long before everyone in the audience wielded a smartphone. And the guy’s still shooting: check out shots of acts like Green Day and Lady Gaga. Still rockin’.

The Liss Gallery presents Bob Gruen’s photographs at the Pendulum Gallery from Monday (July 24) to August 25.
