24 K Gold Gallery Show -- NYC
 

http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/20...er=rss&emc=rss

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.

I'm Going whos with me? Is it free

I so wish I could go to this.

Is she going to be there any of those days (Opening day 10/10 she'll be in Boston but 10/9 in NYC. So maybe in the morning

Holy Hot!!!!

I'll be in NYC after the 15 !!!!!

As a bit of a narcissist myself I love this.

The pic shows one boob under each armpit. But still looking hot.

No writing or photoshop

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

That would appear to be the same photograph from the "Blue Water" Instagram snippet. :nod:

I guess you can buy them from $2500 to $10,000 unframed

I'm buying the $10,000 one for my living room...When I win the lotto...https://www.morrisonhotelgallery.com...h&itemID=12579

!%^@ my life savings, I need some Stevie side-boob action in my living room :thumbsup:

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:

I'm torn between the third one in from the beginning in the third one in from the end,love of both of them

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

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

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.

24 New Polaroids! + Others
 

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.

I just sat here whispering "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god" to myself as I scrolled through the pics.

So I'll say it again.

Oh my god.

Holy Courtney Love in the first one! :shocked:

that's the one I want

there are 2 or 3 i want
but yeah ... um a bit pricey :eek::lol:
i'd want her to come to my house and sign it and decide on where to hang it :lol:

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 ..."

Without digging my records out I believe Lori is wearing a "3" necklace on the "Wild Heart" picture sleeve
