Exposed : The Faces of Rock n Roll
By Mick Rock's, 2010

Mick Rock's photo career began with him sneaking his camera into rock shows; it ignited when he started shooting a practically unknown David Bowie in 1972 and then went on to document the rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust. Since then Mick's become a legend himself, shooting a who's who of rock, punk, and pop icons and capturing the images of stars right as they became part of the pop firmament. Exposed collects 200 of his best photos across nearly 40 years, including unforgettable images of Syd Barrett, Lou Reed, Blondie, Queen, Iggy Pop, the Sex Pistols, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Killers, Lady Gaga, U2, and many more. Featuring a revealing introduction, narrative captions, and an illuminating foreword by playwright Tom Stoppard, Exposed is a gorgeous visual celebration for music fans.

Mick Rocks career began almost unintentionally, when he sneaked his camera into the rock gigs he went to. In 1972 he met a practically unkown David Bowie and started working regularly with him, largely documenting The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust. This made a legend out of Bowie and Rock himself, who went on to photograph every relevant band both in London and New York: Lou Reed, Syd Barrett, Blondie, Iggy Pop, the Sex Pistols or The Ramones were eager to pose for him.
Mick Rocks images are as spontaneous, cheeky and apparently shambolic as a punk rock song. With his clichés of intimate and everyday moments he has shaped our image of the 70s, turning CBGB, Iggy Pops edginess and David Bowies eccentric looks into cultural icons. But his work did not end with the 1970s; lately, Rock has been shooting some of nowadays best artists such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand and Lady Gaga.
Exposed: The Faces of Rock & Roll collects 200 of Rocks best photos taken in the last 40 years. A visual celebration for music fans, the book features also a revealing introduction and a foreword by London-based playwright Tom Stoppard.
Idea Generation Gallery is honouring this new book and Rocks career with an exhibition including never shown before pictures as well as photos etched into the cultural psyche. Rock: Music is a fascinating reflection of the raw spirit of rock & roll.

Sure, the last thing the lit world needs is another rock n' roll photography book. But believe us, this new one is worth the space on your crowded coffee table.

Mick Rock Exposed: The Faces of Rock N' Roll takes you on the British photographer's journey through the iconic music moments from the '70s to today. The collection of on-and-offstage images features everyone from Queen to the Ramones and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, all shot by the legendary lensman.

So who cares if you weren't there (or in many cases, weren't alive yet) to witness epic rock moments like Iggy Pop's London show of '72 or David Bowie's photoshoot with Kate Moss? Now you can.
