Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone, courtsey of Duncan Miller Gallery

From the recent press release for Baron Wolman from the Duncan Miller Gallery;

Baron Wolman was Rolling Stone magazine’s first photographer and enjoyed unparalleled access to musicians making rock and roll history — Hendrix, Jagger, Joplin, Zappa, Morrison, and countless others. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Wolman photographed 21 covers for Rolling Stone.  His new book is a beautifully printed collection of those 21 actual cover images and the proof sheets from which each cover photograph was taken.

 

The book is available in a limited-edition version and its price of $350 includes a signed, silver gelatin, 8 x 10 print of any of these 21 Rolling Stone cover images.

Join us at the Beverly Hills Bang & Olufsen store for the world premier book-signing event. Meet Baron, listen to great music on the incomparable B&O sound systems, and enjoy an open bar with Jack Daniels, white wine and Fiji water.

Winkleman on artist-galleries 50-50 split

I have decided to open a new tracking catagory for this journal called Photo Art Business, which is where I will accumulate various articles about the Business of Fine Art Photography.

Edward Winkleman (Winkleman Gallery, NY, NY) who wrote today about Selling Solo vs. Working with a Gallery, which is about the gallery-artist releationships, but gets into the reasoning and rational behind the traditional 50-50% commission split between a gallery and an artist. For fine art photographers, a highly recommended read.
