Classic Rock Art

Jerry Garcia-A Touch of Color
Baron Wolman
"A museum quality, limited edition giclee of Baron Wolman and Rick Garcia’s famous “Jerry Waving” collaboration series of six images. For the original monoprint Baron had his photograph of Jerry Garcia printed on canvas upon which Rick added his unique interpretation with brush and airbrush. The photograph of Jerry Garcia was taken in 1969 by Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone Magazine’s first chief photographer. The photograph was shot for the Stone’s first cover story on the Grateful Dead. It was the first time that Jerry so openly displayed his missing finger in a photograph. Limited to 350 copies signed by Baron Wolman and Rick Garcia."

Let It Rain
Carl Studna
"Born and raised in Los Angeles, Studna didn’t go far to realize his niche – creative portraits of the music industry’s legends. At the age of sixteen, Carl discovered both the art of photography and the artistic beauty to be found in countless album covers. This is a limited edition print of Eric Clapton, taken during the “Let it Rain” video shoot."
Jimi Hendrix Concert Poster
Karl Ferris
"From a long lost series of posters based on the photography of Karl Ferris, this concert poster is for the February 24, 1969 performance of the Jimi Hendrix Experience at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Originally commissioned by Brian Epstein, these prints have never been released until now. This poster was reprinted on museum stock paper."
Dawn at the Ritz
Jerry Garcia
"As a young man, Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia found his interests divided between visual and musical expression, and he attended the San Francisco Art Institute. Music came to claim his full attention but he never stopped sketching. Garcia once remarked about his art, “I hope that nobody takes them too seriously.”“Dawn at the Ritz” is an impressionistic picture of rare beauty. Most likely a view across Central Park in New York from Jerry’s hotel room window at daybreak. “Dawn at the Ritz” is an offset lithographic reproduction with the artist’s silkscreened signature. Image size is approximately 4” x 6”."

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Joe Petuccio
"Joe Petuccio is the official artist of Graceland. This is his tribute to “She Loves You”. Signed by the artist. Limited to 125 copies."Multiplex I
Baron Wolman
“It all began with an order from the Hard Rock Café for huge 6’ tall prints of several of my best rock images. Not unlike the tiny test strips I used to make in my darkroom when I was printing my own photographs, the color lab sent me test strips for the tall prints. The fundamental difference was that these so-called test strips were big, 8” x 48”, almost prints themselves. Rick Garcia, an accomplished artist, suggested that I try laying out a bunch of the test strips side by side to see what they looked like. The results were fantastic!”This is the first in a series of Multiplex images. They are limited to only 75 signed copies. The demand for these prints is huge. There are only 4 left!"
