The signing is part of a nationwide tour to promote Wolman’s new coffee table photo book, THE ROLLING STONE YEARS (Omnibus Press), featuring both classic photographs and the inside stories behind the pictures. Baron will be signing special limited editions of the book on Saturday.
According to a representative of Wolman:
“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. More information can be found at http://www.therollingstoneyears.com.”
