As an initial photographer for revolutionary rock music publication Rolling Stone, Baron Wolman captured naturalistic portraits of the period’s rising icons, including Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, BB King, Joan Baez, The Grateful Dead, and more. Baron’s proximity to the artists combined with his unique photojournalistic approach resulted in captivating images documenting performing artists, as well as intimate portraits which illuminated their personal lives off stage.
Curated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this special exhibition presents photographs from four areas of Baron Wolman’s Rolling Stone period from 1967-1971, including California Rock, Women of Rock, Icons of R&B and Classic Rock.
