💔 “Mixing business with pleasure since 1965” 🎸 Baron Wolman, 25 June 1937 - 2 November 2020 - Photographer & Friend ❤️ It is with a sad heart that we share the news of the passing of Baron Wolman on November 2, 2020. Baron died peacefully at the age of 83, after a battle with ALS. Baron was propelled into his photography career in 1967, when he was invited to become Rolling Stone magazine’s first chief photographer. Not only was Wolman in the right place at the right time, he was recognized as a photographer whose work was inseparable from the roller-coaster social phenomena of the era. His pictures were about the times and his artistry and unique vision landed him a wide variety of assignments from advertising and record companies, universities, government agencies, and a multitude of publications from Esquire, to Sunset, to Newsweek, to Playboy, to Vogue, to Smithsonian, to airline magazines - to name but a few. Baron’s subjects represented the cultural icons of the time: the building of the Berlin Wall, rock & roll, the NFL, the Goodyear Blimp, Roller Derby, American cars, Israel in flux, the changing nature of fashion, and aerial landscapes photographed while piloting his own plane. Baron’s pictures gave us a rare, comprehensive, and accurate reflection of that time executed by a gifted artist whose visual intelligence is unsurpassed. We share just a glimpse of Baron’s incredible collection of work, along with a few photographs of his time during his exhibition in Sydney at Blender Gallery in 2011. ⚡️ Baron, it has been an absolute pleasure to be able to work, live and be involved in your life. And what a life it has been.. Fly high beautiful friend. ✌️❤️🎵 @baronwolman #baronwolman #legendsneverdie #rockroyalty #rollingstonemagazine #jimihendrix #mickjagger #johnnycash #georgeharrison #pinkfloyd #jerrygarcia #musicphotography #musichistory #sixties #seventies #woodstock #style #icon #muse #legend #friend #family #rockanroll #peace #love #rocknroll #blendergallery (at Blender Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHKBNPnjQoB/?igshid=1aeowbv0lg46f
