V!P's International Art Galleries Amsterdam presents:Bill Wyman - WYMAN SHOOTSJanuary 24 through February 14 |
 |
| For thirty years Wyman was the bass player with the most famous rock’n roll band in the world, The Rolling Stones. Lesser known is the fact that he has been a photographer for fifty years.
The exhibition depicts images that Wyman shot during his tenure with the Stones. This includes many pictures from the sixties, as well as the seventies and eighties: Ronnie Wood posing with his young daughter, Charlie Watts waiting patiently at David Frost’s television show , Brian Jones viewed from the rear view mirror of a car, but also Mick Taylor, Jerry Hall and Nicky Hopkins, and of course a self portrait. Other pictures show rock- and blues musicians such as Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, The Who, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy and BB King. For decades Wyman’s work as photographer and public life as member of The Rolling Stones went hand in hand. This status opened the doors to a world of fame and glamour, otherwise closed to the public, and now made accessible through his photos. At the same time these photos prove that Wyman isn’t just another celebrity with a camera, but a fully trained photographer with his own vision on people and events surrounding him. Wyman Shoots is an exhibition that reveals the daily life of the Rolling Stones through the eyes of Wyman. All the photos from this exhibition can be ordered as signed, limited editions, in 3 different sizes. On request Bill Wyman can dedicate the ordered photo(s). Delivery time can take a couple of weeks. V!P's INTERNATIONAL ART GALLERIES |
