You’re going down the ice, as fast as you can skate – and you make two or three perfect passes and score. It’s a really great moment of exhilaration.” – Charles M.

This group of images have never before been seen in the Bay Area and capture John, Paul, George and Ringo on the doorstep of international fame -- from the frenzy of their command performances to quiet moments backstage and on the road. The work recalls an era when celebrities weren't overexposed, their every utter- ance recorded and broadcast in the media and on the web.

Steve Gunther, the artist's son and a photographer in his own right, had been entrusted with the negatives twenty-five years ago, right before his father passed away in 1991. He meticulously restored and scanned the negatives from which he produced striking prints using the finest archival materials. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 18, from 5 to 8 PM. Steve Gunther will be in attendance at the reception to answer questions and share stories about his father's remarkable legacy. The reception will also feature the music of Drew Harrison and Jim Funk, the Lennon-McCartney duo for the Beatles tribute band, The Sun Kings. Known as Two of Us, they will perform an evening of acoustic Beatles music. The IceHouse Gallery is at 405 East D Street in Petaluma (in the historic Burdell Building). IceHouse Gallery Hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM or by appointment. N ew musical move- ments are known to be an inspira- tion to all the arts.

Collected by curator Joseph McDonald, iconic photos from the era as well as vibrant posters that announced the great rock concerts appear in The Art of Rock ‘n Roll at the Petaluma Arts Center and IceHouse Gallery, April 18 through May 31. Arts Center Executive Director Val Richman says, “We know this will be a crowd- pleasing exhibition and look forward to presenting a variety of iconic images along with some that have rarely been seen. Collaborating with IceHouse Gallery creates the fun of an art walk, since they are located across the street in the Burdell Building.” The Bay Area has been long been a home and crucible for music, and the 1960s and 1970s were a hotbed of creativity and social change. Popular music reflected the times and a few photographers, publications and poster artists have become iconic representations of this vibrant era. The Art of Rock ‘n Roll exhibition will include photographs by Baron Wolman, Ed Perlstein, Jim Marshall and Curt Gunther, along with posters by Alton Kelley and Pat Ryan. In April 1967 Baron Wolman had been photographing rock bands and an acquaintance, Jann Wenner, had plans to form a new kind of music periodical. Wolman agreed to join the new periodical, Rolling Stone, and work for free, insisting on ownership of all the photos he took, giving the magazine unlimited use of the pictures. Because of Wolman's virtually unlimited access to his subjects, his photographs of Janis Joplin, the Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Iggy Pop, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, the Grateful Dead, Phil Spector, Jim Morrison, Ike & Tina Turner and other musicians were the graphic centerpieces of Rolling Stone's layout. Ed Perlstein has an impressive portfolio with undoubtedly some of the biggest names to ever grace a stage – Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, B.B King, Queen, to name just a few. Jim Marshall is considered the preeminent rock photographer in the Bay Area from that time. He photographed all the greats; he famously photographed Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival. Curt Gunther met The Beatles in Europe and was invited to accompany them on their 1964 tour of the U.S. and Canada; he photographed their first concert at Candlestick Park. Alton Kelley is credited with creating the wings and beetles on all Journey album covers as well as the skull and roses image for the Grateful Dead. Pat Ryan was one of the original Artista Gang in Marin County and has created well over 100 posters for music venues and festivals. In addition to the photographs and posters in the exhibition, Rock ‘n Roll dance parties will be held throughout the exhibition with live bands including The Deadlies, Dylan Chambers and the Midnight Transit, The Two of Us, and The British Invasion. Adding to the fun are Kurt Huget and Craig Bartock hosting a Beatles Singalong, DJVal dance party, and the 5th of John Bertucci’s Art of Cinema Series, “Rock Night - A Scintillating Survey of Rock Music in the Movies”.
