THE LOST ROCK & ROLL NEGATIVES

"It’s remarkable that Michael documented this important flash point in music history and captured its energy and personality. We are so honored to exhibit these amazing photos of iconic artists and share them with the world"

discovered after nearly 50 years!
Lost in storage, the negatives for these incredible photos of legendary musicians were recently discovered in Michael Friedman’s attic.
Friedman was an avid photographer when he worked in the music business in the 60’s and 70’s as a manager and producer. He had the opportunity to befriend, work with, and photograph, legendary musical artists including Janis Joplin, The Band, Kris Kristofferson, Rita Coolidge, Todd Rundgren, Paul Butterfield Blues Band, James Cotton & the Rolling Stones.
