Stones Exhibition To Open At Somerset House
The new photo exhibit entitled Rolling Stones: 50 will open in London on 13 July
On 12 July 1962 the Rolling Stones went on stage at the Marquee Club in London’s Oxford Street and 50 years later, and to celebrate this milestone, Somerset House is holding a free photographic exhibition documenting the last half-century and looking back at their career. This exhibition will also coincide with the release of the book by the same name.
This one-off exhibition will include over seventy prints ranging from reportage photography, live concert and studio session images, to contact sheets, negative strips and outtakes from every period of the band’s history – from performing in the smallest blues clubs to the biggest stadium tours of all time.
Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to purchase limited edition prints, copies of the book and other merchandise.
"This is our story of fifty fantastic years. We started out as a blues band playing the clubs and more recently we’ve filled the largest stadiums in the world with the kind of show that none of us could have imagined all those years ago" said Mick, Keith, Charlie & Ronnie
This free exhibition opens to the public on 13 July and runs until 27 August at the East Wing Galleries in Somerset House.
