It’s safe in the City…
The Steven Kasher Gallery in New York has just opened a new exhibition celebrating the launch of Max’s Kansas City: Art, Glamour, Rock and Roll, a chronicle of the famed venue in words and pictures.
The book features photography by Bob Gruen, Anton Perich and many others, and writing by Lou Reed, Lenny Kaye, Danny Fields, Lorraine O’Grady, and Steven Watson. It is edited by Steven Kasher.
The inset picture above of David Johansen & David Bowie at Max’s Kansas City was taken by Bob Gruen in 1974 and you can view many of the pictures showing at the exhibition here…including another shot of Bowie introducing Devo at Max’s in November 1977. However, the pedants among us will probably notice the pictures have been mislabelled and are both a year out.
Max’s Kansas City: Art, Glamour, Rock and Roll is published via Abrams Image and the exhibition runs until October 9th, 2010. Check out this page for more detailed information.
