Bob Gruen, NEW YORK DOLLS: PHOTOGRAPHS photographer: Mr. Media Interview
Book cover via AmazonWelcome to another edition of Mr. Media’s Kollege of Musical Knowledge. Today, I’ll test your familiarity with the roots of punk rock music with a very special guest, photographer Bob Gruen.
Bob just published a new collection of his classic photos, this time capturing the wild times of the original New York punk band, the New York Dolls, which once upon a time starred David Johansen, Johnny Thunders, Billy Murcia and Arthur Kane. The book – with its shocking pink cover – is titled, simply, New York Dolls: Photographs.
If you know anything about the Dolls, you’ll want this book on your coffee table. It’ll be a good bookend for other Gruen collections, including John Lennon: The New York Years and The Clash.
Gruen’s pretty busy these days; he attended the opening of an exhibition of his photos at the Liss Gallery, 140 Yorkville Avenue in Toronto. And from October 11 through Nov 2, Gruen will have his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles at the Morrison Hotel Gallery, 7517 W Sunset Blvd, (near the Guitar Center). Gruen will attend the opening on October 11th to sign copies of New York Dolls: Photographs.
