To celebrate 10 years of Rockarchive, the exhibition shows select images from the entire archive, focusing on each photographer.

 

A decade ago and after 30 years as a rock photographer, Jill Furmanovsky was looking through her vast archive of images.  Images of the great and the good of the music industry.  Images that captured those decisive moments in the history of rock and roll.  Images as visceral as the punk rock days they reflected and she felt that it was such a shame that so little of her work could be seen or owned by the people who would appreciate it most; The Fans.

And so Rockarchive was born from Jill's vision to make her work and that of her esteemed colleagues more accessible to the public.  It coincided with the birth of that other great engine of public access : The internet.

Jill began a website called rockarchive.com at the end of 1998. She put up 30 of her classic images from her 30 years as a rock photographer and decided to print them in an edition of 30 darkroom prints. Edition 30/30/30 was born and become the founding edition for Rockarchive.
