Fans of the late artist can now shoot with a camera that pays tribute to his artistry and era.
The late photographer Jim Marshall was a true iconoclast with a keen eye, a man who didn’t suffer fools while chronicling the ego-filled world of rock and roll and jazz. Now, fabled German camera manufacturer Leica is paying tribute to his legacy with the Leica M Monochrom Limited Edition Jim Marshall Set.
As the summer heats up, the final days of "Jim Marshall's 1967" at San Francisco City Hall draws to a close. The free exhibit features a trove of photographs taken by Marshall that capture the vitality of the neighborhood and the multiple scenes and movements that called the Haight and San Francisco their home. Don't miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime event!
THE LAST DAY TO VIEW THIS EXHIBIT IS JUNE 23, 2017!
The amazing legacy of photographer Jim Marshall is explored in a special public event on Monday, June 12. “Wrangling the Brilliant and Notorious Legacy of Jim Marshall,” focuses on the bands and the visual chronicler who brought the counterculture movement to the forefront during the Summer of Love.
Open at Leica Gallery Los Angeles, an exciting exhibit of images, largely unseen until now, from the new book of Jim Marshall's photography, "Jim Marshall: Jazz Festival," published by Reel Art Press.
Acclaimed for his rock 'n' roll photography, Jim also loved jazz. It was his first love. From jazz clubs to jazz festivals, Jim recorded the 60's jazz scene in stunning black-and-white clarity.
Gallery hours are Monday to Saturday, 10am to 6pm and Sunday, 12pm to 5pm.
If you'll be in the LA area this March 10, don't miss the Grammy Museum's opening celebration of the exhibit Jim Marshall's 1967, which features Jim's glorious photography chronicling the Summer of Love. The evening includes a Q&A with exhibition co-curators Amelia Davis of the Jim Marshall Estate and Meg Shiffler of The San Francisco Arts Commission, and San Francisco-based music critic and author Joel Selvin.
