Baron Wolman first chief photographer for Rolling Stone, will be in New York City on a Media Tour to promote his new coffee table photo book, The Rolling Stone Years (Omnibus Press), featuring both classic photographs and the inside stories behind the pictures.
Due to popular demand, the book’s released date has been moved a month earlier to Aug. 1, and all book signings have been quick sellouts.
Baron Wolman not only witnessed what is without a doubt the most important period of change in popular music and popular culture, but his photographs helped shape it.
Rolling Stone magazine encapsulated and distilled the most important events and changes as they were taking place. Each issue would speak to this evolving youth culture in a language that was all its own and from issue number one and for nearly three years thereafter, his photographs were published regularly in Rolling Stone and became the magazine’s graphic centerpiece.
The collection of pictures and the stories behind them in The Rolling Stone Years cover some of the most significant artists and events of the period, and visualized the music through iconic images of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Santana, and dozens more.
Baron’s long-time mantra, “Mixing Business With Pleasure Since 1965,” continues to be his guiding light.
