24 New Polaroids! + Others

[LineInTheSand]

The Morrison Hotel Gallery, which specializes in music photography – not only photographs of musicians, but also photography by musicians – will present a show of self-portraits by Stevie Nicks from between 1975 and 1987. The pictures for the show were selected by Dave Stewart, the Eurythmics guitarist, who co-produced her “In Your Dreams” album.

The show, called “24 K Gold” – also the name of Ms. Nicks’s new album (a version of which will come with a book of Ms. Nicks’s photographs) – is devoted entirely to selfies taken in the wee hours of the night, both at home and on tour, using Polaroid cameras.

Why self-portraits?

“I wanted to learn how to become a photographer,” Ms. Nicks said in comments forwarded by her spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg. “And I don’t sleep at night, so I thought, who am I going to ask to stay up all night, and then do a show tomorrow? So I’m not going to get Christine,” she said, referring to Christine McVie, her colleague in Fleetwood Mac. “She’s going to say, ‘Are you crazy? I’m going to the bar. Bye.’”

In search of variety, Ms. Nicks used props and costumes, often tinkering with lighting and placement through the night. “I did everything,” she said. “I was the stylist, the makeup artist, the furniture mover, the lighting director — it was my joy. I was the model.”

She continued taking self-portraits for more than a decade, until, as she put it, “the Polaroids were just almost impossible to use, because there was just no more film and they all broke down.”

The pictures have not been exhibited before. Mostly, Ms. Nicks said, they were stored in shoeboxes, where she filed them soon after taking them.

The exhibition will be at 201 Mulberry Street on Oct. 10 and 11, and will move to the Morrison Hotel Gallery at 116 Prince Street on Oct. 13, where it will run for the rest of October.

Finally proof Stevie's not a witch. I never thought I'd ever see her wet.

She had a quote in some interview once about how no men were allowed in the back of her house, out at the pool. Only the girls; she didn't want men seeing her in a bathing suit.

Not that the top of a bathing suit would reveal anything she hadn't shown onstage-- including the bare-midriff tops.:shrug:

If you buy the 60x70 ($10,000) you get a FREE frame...What a bargain...:nod:

[DauphineMarie]

I just want to say that viewing all of these photos, I am literally speechless. These polaroids are absolutely phenomenal. :]:]:]:]:]

I'd rather get the framing doney my framer

and choose it myself

[BlueDenimLamp]

If all sizes of the 24 polaroid's sell ( 50 x $2,500 + 35 x $4,000 + 20 x $10,000 x 24) it's a grand total of $11,160,000...Yes that's ELEVEN MILLION dollars minus the gallery commission...If Stevie decides selling art work is more profitable ( and a lot less work) than touring Fleetwood Mac is in trouble :eek:

What does the one with the big "3" necklace mean? I wonder what the "3" signifies.

[welcomechris]

Beginning in the mid-seventies, Stevie Nicks took a series of Polaroid self-portraits in her home as well as hotel rooms around the world while on tour. Earlier this year, during the recording of her new solo album 24 Karat Gold - Songs From the Vault, she decided to share these never-before-seen self portraits. Each one of these archival pigment prints is hand-signed and numbered by Stevie Nicks.

"Some people don't sleep at night - I am one of those people. These pictures were taken long after everyone had gone to bed - I would begin after midnight and go until 4 or 5 in the morning. I stopped at sunrise - like a vampire... I never really thought anyone would ever see these pictures, they went into shoeboxes, where they remained. I did everything - I was the stylist, the makeup artist, the furniture mover, the lighting director. It was my joy - I was the model..."

- Stevie Nicks

I put all the pictures onto one of my blogs so they don't get deleted.

Thank you.

Oh, she'd be good at that. "To the left. A little higher. A hair's breath lower. Now move that blue chair right under it, to bring out the damask pattern in the photo. No, don't center it exactly. You need it to look casual, not too precise ..."

That version of the pool picture is much clearer. There you can tell that the bathing suit is YELLOW and black. The other version the coloring on the yellow part looked nude and I thought for a minute there that she just had those slender black straps going over "the girls". :lol:

[bombaysaffires]

Am I the only one who finds the pool picture not her best? I mean I love it because it's soooo not like any pic we've ever seen of her before.. But…. with her wet hair plastered to her head like that, and the camera angle her head just looks far too big for her body to me and not the most flattering.

I always thought it was some sort of mystical, religious trinity sort of thing or something..:shrug:

[KarmaContestant]

I want one of each of these polaroid prints. At the cheapest price point, that's only $60K.

:]

[sorcerer999]

I think I will go with the "poor man's alternative" and save my favorite Polaroids to a USB stick, then have FedEx Kinkos print me a nice sized color print, for under $100. ;)

[Rachelclaire]

I love all all these new pictures they are just stunning, but at $10.000 I wont be the lucky owner of any of them. xx

I think I will go with the "poor man's alternative" and save my favorite Polaroids to a USB stick, then have FedEx Kinkos print me a nice sized color print, for under $100. ;)

Hmm. All 24 of them can be laid out in rows of 4, 6 rows high, and print the whole thing at 24x36.

Thanks! It can be hard to get stuff like this printed unless you have a buddy at the Kinkos store. Years ago, I did, and he made a giant poster of the After The Glitter Fades cover for me, and even laminated it. I wish I still had that.

[sorcerer999]

I had the black and white rose tinted photo of Stevie & the girls sitting on the plush floor and iron railed couch with palm leaves (from the insert of "The Wild Heart") blown up and above my piano. :)

I wish I could've had that photo larger too, I've always loved that picture too. Just think of how many of those outtakes that we haven't seen . I guess we still won't see those either sadly. I wish she'd release those someday as well? I can only hope so.:shrug:

Wow.I love the 1920,s1930's and 1940's fashion .People had class then.

This photo of Stevie would fit into the 1920's record player dream with Stevie that I mentioned in the chit chat section.

Heres a few photos below of one of my favorite actresses of that time.

Carole Lombard .

I love to see Stevie come out on stage wearing one of those hats.

Stevie Nicks Self Portraits vs Kim Kardashian Selfies

by Hannah Ongley () |Friday, September 19th 2014 at 5:41 pm|

Select your finest vintage shawl, your best Leather and Lace, because noted songwitch and your spirit animal Stevie Nicks is spinning a new web of wonder and the art show of the century: a gallery filled her own self portraits. Or as we call them in the times beyond the years spanning 1975 and 1987, her selfies.

The show is called “24kt Gold,” which also happens to be the name of the new album from which you were already given such golden gifts as the song “Lady.” The never-before-seen-by-public-eyes photographs will be displayed at New York’s Morrison Hotel Gallery, and curated by Eurythmics guitarist Dave Stewart (who also produced her In Your Dreams album.)
“

“I wanted to learn how to become a photographer,” Ms. Nicks told Arts Beat. “And I don’t sleep at night, so I thought, who am I going to ask to stay up all night, and then do a show tomorrow? So I’m not going to get Christine,” she said, referring to Christine McVie, her colleague in Fleetwood Mac. “She’s going to say, ‘Are you crazy? I’m going to the bar. Bye.’”

This news shakes the very foundations of everything we thought we knew about the selfie. Since 1987 we have made it through the era of laser light backgrounds and 34-degree head tilts, invented reverse camera smartphones, and crowned a new Selfie Queen in the form of kontoured Kanye West appendage Kim Kardashian, who even has a 352-page hardcover selfie tome due out in 2015 since you can’t already get them for free on Instagram.

In light of recent developments, does it not make sense to determine whether self portrait royalty should wear a lace shawl or a Givenchy cape? Probably not, but since it’s Friday afternoon we photoshopped some Kim Kardashian and Stevie Nicks selfies together anyway.

[rubylounge]

These are absolutely stunning. And this is only one page of a total of 45 in the booklet! Imagine how many other gems are on there :blob2: I'm also really digging the whole rock a little look. It's so 1920's tragic hollywood starlet.

I agree these are gorgeous & too gorgeous to have been shut away in shoeboxes all those years. I'm so glad that she decided to share these!!!

Good God. Comparing anything related to Stevie Nicks to anything related to Kim Kardashian is like comparing the Sistine Chapel to a used condom.
A used condom retrieved from a crack house. Which pretty much sums up what Kim Kardashian is.

Stevie Nicks self-portraits shown for the first time: 'I never thought anyone would ever see these pictures'

A stunning collection of Polaroids will go on display in New York next month after languishing in a shoebox for years. Gallery owner Peter Blachley tells the Guardian how the exhibit came about

A collection of self-portrait Polaroids shot by Fleetwood Mac legend Stevie Nicks will go on display at a New York City gallery next month after languishing in a shoebox for decades.

“Some people don’t sleep at night. I’m one of those people,” Nicks said in a statement about the photographs. “I would begin after midnight and go until 4 or 5 in the morning. I stopped at sunrise, like a vampire. I never really thought anyone would ever see these pictures.”


The exhibit, 24 Karat Gold, curated by Eurythmics guitarist and Stevie Nicks collaborator Dave Stewart, accompanies a new album from Nicks, which will be released under the same title. The album, like the portraits, is a time capsule unearthed: the songs were written and demo-ed between 1969 and 1987, but re-recorded in recent months.


The Guardian spoke to Peter Blachley, owner of the Morrison Hotel Gallery, where the exhibit takes place next month, about the show.


Tell us a little about your gallery – the Morrison Hotel Gallery – which I understand specialises in photographs of and by musicians.


PB: The gallery itself has been specific to fine art music photograph for many years. We started in 2000-2001 doing little shows on the west coast just to do the photography of Henry Diltz, who was one of our partners, and shot covers for the Eagles, the Doors, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jackson Browne.


When we went to New York we knew that was the city we wanted to be based in. We went to three different locations in Soho before we finally found our permanent gallery. It’s evolved to where today we have over 120 photographers that we represent and they’re all music-based and probably the best in the world.

The Stevie Nicks show is curated by Dave Stewart, who produced an album of Stevie’s. You also have a music industry background. How did that play into how the exhibit came about?

Dave came to us a few years ago with his own photographs, and I saw what he was doing with Mick Jagger and Tom Petty and I thought: jeez, here’s a recording artist who at the same time has such an eye and a technical ability for creating photography. This is a natural for the Morrison Hotel Gallery.


Fast forward a few years later, when Dave has been working with Stevie, and he sees these self-portrait Polaroids that she did and said: look, we should really do an exhibit with these, I know a gallery in New York. So we decided to do the Stevie Nicks show based on what we saw as some very creative work done at a certain point in her life.

She said that she took the pictures to “learn how to be a photographer”. To me, many of the images look very sophisticated, like the work of a pro. Is she just being modest?

I think she was really being her own muse in terms of how she wanted to see herself. She sort of opened up this wonderful treasure chest of clothing and furniture and accessories, and all the things that she would have had around her to create these little worlds of fashion, and how she saw herself.

From a photographic point of view, if you look at those Polaroids, at the photographs, of course this is before digital and today it’s a lot easier to take digital self-portraits because the cameras auto-focus, they auto-color, they do everything. Even those early Polaroid cameras that she was using with a cord – in the shot where she’s in the swimming pool you can see the cord in her hand as she’s clicking the shot – in every other shot she’s disguised it very well.

So I think even though she was learning and experimenting, she was very sophisticated in her knowledge of composition, her knowledge of framing, her knowledge of color. Because the shots are just beautifully art directed.

I couldn’t help but notice a disparity in how the show was billed only as ‘self-portraits’, but a lot of media coverage has called the photographs ‘selfies’. Did you cut out the word on purpose? Do you have an opinion on it?


What we’re trying to project is a woman who was, as I say, filled with whatever muse was going on. She had to do these self-portraits because back in 1975, that’s what they were. And that’s what she was going for. Now we’re in 2014 and everybody has phones and ‘selfie’ has become the thing that everybody does.


I felt from a gallery point of view, probably the most credible and authentic way to approach this was ‘self-portrait’ because that’s what they were called in 1975 and that’s what she did when she was doing them. But in 2014, I knew that once the media got this we were going to see ‘selfie’ everywhere. And actually, fair enough, because I feel that, yeah, OK, maybe Stevie Nicks created the original selfie portraits. Wonderful! That doesn’t bother me at all.


I want to talk about nostalgia, which the show packs heavily, and which paradoxically makes it feel current because of the Instagram feel of the photos.


Here’s the difference. Because if they were really selfies they would forever live on your iPhone. You would look at them that way. But Nash Editions, which is one of the greatest fine art photography labs in the country, created much larger, Iris digital prints that are museum quality. These things are going to be 6ft x 7ft in many cases. When you walk into the show itself and you see these, the word ‘selfie’ is going to kind of go away, and the word ‘fine art’ is going to come into your head because they’re going to be impressive when they’re that large. The colors, her expressions, even her fingernails – the color of her fingernails, or the rings she was wearing, or the bracelets. It’s going to become so much more front and center than how you would see it in a small format.

How is the accompanying album incorporated into the exhibit? How did the album come out to be in tandem with this show? Does it play into the show?

There are two factors at play: the album is certainly one of them. It’s a new Stevie Nicks album, however, it’s a lot of cuts and things she had done previously. So it’s sort of a retrospective for her musically in the same way the self-portraits are. 24-Karat Gold, meaning we just mined these nuggets that we found in Stevie’s archive. We’re bringing them forward.

But the other element, the second element, is her touring with Fleetwood Mac and now that Christine McVie is in the band you’ve got the original band back. It’s like Stevie’s kind of coming full circle in a way, but at the same time we feel that with the new album and the gallery showing, it’s sort of bringing out more elements to her than we’ve ever seen before. I think it’s really smart on her part to do that.

Stevie Nicks was recently on what turned out to be a massively popular episode of American Horror Story, and all this is now happening. What do you put down to her enduring success? Why do people find her image so bewitching?


I think Stevie has a particular appeal with women, that is different than her appeal with men. I think men, when their first album came out, we just said about Stevie: “Wow, what a gorgeous woman.” I think women took it deeper. I think there was some connection that Stevie made with women. I don’t really know what that connection was but I think a lot of woman became really fanatical about her, but in a good way.


Usually, our gallery appeals to men. Most rock’n’roll photographs of men are heroic, and men are drawn to that. So many times they’ll come in our gallery and their girlfriends or their wives will come over to me and go: “I want to get that for his birthday, how much is it?”


So I was up in the gallery the other day and a man came in and said: “I came here because I want to get a Stevie Nicks photo for my wife. It’s our anniversary and she loves Stevie” – like we were talking about – “She’s fanatical about her. She speaks to her.” You know, all these things. Like, “She’s gotta have one of these.” And I said, “Sir, we will make that happen for her” and I’m gonna tell you, as a guy I’ve never seen this before.


That’s never happened before? That’s amazing.

No! It really is. And we’re seeing that trend with Stevie’s show. And that’s different than we’ve had with others.


24 Karat Gold opens to the public on 10 October at the Morrison Hotel Gallery at 201 Mulberry Street in New York City, before moving down the road to its showroom at 116 Prince Street. Her album, 24 Karat Gold: Songs from the Vault is out in the US on 7 October.

Looking on Google Street View, the space at 201 Mulberry looks much, much larger. My guess this is where this particular gallery holds their openings, as openings are usually very well attended.

If all sizes of the 24 polaroid's sell ( 50 x $2,500 + 35 x $4,000 + 20 x $10,000 x 24) it's a grand total of $11,160,000...Yes that's ELEVEN MILLION dollars minus the gallery commission...If Stevie decides selling art work is more profitable ( and a lot less work) than touring Fleetwood Mac is in trouble :eek:
