Gruen, known for his iconic shots of Lennon, the Sex Pistols, Led Zeppelin and more, is also the subject of a new career retrospective book of his work.
Bob Gruen, the famed rock photographer known for his iconic shot of John Lennon in a sleeveless "New York City" t-shirt, is enjoying the release of a new 288-page book of his work, plus the opening of a photo exhibit tonight, Dec. 1, at Los Angeles' Fahey/Klein Gallery.
"The book is my first hard-cover collection of all my work. I've done about a dozen other books but they’ve all been about a certain group: several of John Lennon,The Clash, Sex Pistols. I've never really seen this many photos of mine in one place," says the NYC-based Gruen, who has been photographing the music scene for 40 years. Even though his extensive archive reaches back that far, Gruen says putting the book together took just six months. "I'm very organized. I've lived in the same place since 1970. If I put something in a file in 1974, it's still there. I don't have cartons in my grandmother's garage."
