TVD Radar: Morrison Hotel Gallery presents exclusive retrospective, ‘Look Back: The Best of Bob Dylan’

VIA PRESS RELEASE | Morrison Hotel Gallery will present an exclusive fine art photography exhibit of the life, and many lives of Bob Dylan as shot by 17 culture-defining photographers. This will be a bi-coastal exhibit, opening Thursday, January 16th at both gallery locations. Prints will be available for purchase at both galleries, and online here.

Look Back: The Best of Bob Dylan offers forth a rare exploration of Morrison Hotel Gallery’s exclusive and extensive fine art photography collection. It is a comprehensive retrospective that chronicles Dylan’s seismic career to date, capturing moments onstage, backstage, and off-stage in portraiture and live/ reportage-style works.

The exclusive exhibit features rare and never-before-seen, including artist-printed and remastered pieces by Daniel Kramer with additional work by Jerry Schatzberg, Ken Regan, Don Hunstein, Danny Clinch, Barry Feinstein, Rowland Scherman, Elliott Landy, Lynn Goldsmith, Lisa Law, DA Pennebaker, Jay Blakesberg, Henry Diltz, Michael Zagaris, Joel Bernstein, David Gahr, and Peter Simon.

Kramer, who passed away April 29th, 2024, considered himself a “historian with a camera.” His images here capture Dylan’s transformation from the darling of the folk scene to a full-blown rock star, wielding an electric guitar and fronting a full band. This controversial evolution granted Dylan a career reset that kept him vital for many decades to come.

Kramer was there for this cataclysmic time, and he shot the legendary album covers for Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited. He also photographed Dylan in the studio, and sound-checking before his first electric show ever on August 28th, 1965 at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York. These images, among other of Kramer’s poetic Dylan snapshots—some of which are being shown publicly for the first time—are on display and available as prints for purchase.

Look Back: The Best of Bob Dylan also showcases Dylan, the young, folk romantic, as shot by Don Hunstein in 1963. The exhibit includes images from Dylan’s myth-making, The Times They Are A-Changin’ era as documented by Barry Feinstein. And the collection features select images from Ken Regan’s “Rolling Thunder Revue” oeuvre.
