Description
The show’s title refers to two of the Stones’ album masterpieces, 1968’s Beggars Banquet, released during the group’s Chelsea heyday as emperors of mod London, and 1971’s Exile On Main Street, recorded on the French Riviera one infamous summer when the band and their entourage were holed up at Villa Nellcôte. Offering both stark contrast and complementary flow, the exhibition’s images visually chart the band’s dramatic evolution during these years, with British photographer Michael Cooper capturing ’66 to ’70 and France’s Tarle represented exclusively by images taken in ’71. Tarle will attend the opening, as will actor Jake Weber (Medium, NBC-TV), who is seen at age seven in a number of Tarle’s images; he and his brother were at Nellcôte all summer with their father Tommy Weber, then a Stones insider.Opening July 12, Beggars To Exiles: Unseen Photographs Of The Rolling Stones, 1966-1971 will be on display at SFAE through late August, 2008.
