Dead 50 Years, is an exhibition of photographs of the Grateful Dead from their inception. Herb Greene, as a young San Francisco photographer, befriended the band in the 1960s and created some of the era’s most iconic images of the Dead and Rock’n Roll.
This exhibition will feature Grateful Dead photographs selected by Greene himself. Not to be missed by Dead fans, and photo lovers alike, Dead 50 Years will showcase Greene’s keen eye for making impactful portraits. Not just a photographer-for-hire, Herbie was a friend and collaborator with the performers he photographed.
Herb Greene was recently featured and profiled in a special LIFE publication on The Grateful Dead’s 50 Year anniversary. He has photographed many Rock greats including, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Sly Stone, The Pointer Sisters, Jeff Beck and Led Zeppelin.
