October 8, 2018 [St. Petersburg, FL] — The Florida Holocaust Museum presents a special program “The Rolling Stone Years” with Baron Wolman on Wednesday, October 24th at the Museum. Wolman was Rolling Stone’s Chief Photographer when the magazine was first published 50 years ago. This is a unique opportunity for the public to view his iconic photos and listen to him speak about his memorable encounters with Bill Graham and rock stars of his time.
In 1967, Baron Wolman became Rolling Stone’s first chief photographer. For three years his photographs were published regularly in Rolling Stone and became the magazine’s graphic centerpiece. Over forty years later, those same photographs, picture memories of the 60’s, are now widely exhibited and collected.
Wolman’s iconic music photography included shots on-stage with Jimi Hendrix, backstage with the Rolling Stones, and in front of the stage with Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin. Grace Slick and the Grateful Dead performed for the camera in his Haight-Ashbury studio.
“The Rolling Stone Years” will take place on Wednesday, October 24, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. at The Florida Holocaust Museum.This program is $9 per person for general admission and/or free for Museum members. To reserve your seat, please call 727.820.0100 ext. 301.
