| Francis Wolff Jazz Photography at The Morrison Hotel The Morrison Hotel Galleries will represent Francis Wolff's legendary jazz photographs, which graced the covers of many Blue Note albums, exclusively throughout the world. Peter Blachley and Richard Horowitz, Morrison Hotel Gallery principals and Blue Note producer Michael Cuscuna, owner of the Francis Wolff archive, announced the agreement today. Under the arrangement, Morrison Hotel Galleries will exhibit and sell the photographs in their three U.S. galleries in New York, La Jolla and Los Angeles. In addition, the gallery will represent the work on its newly designed website and to other galleries outside the Morrison Hotel Gallery cities. Morrison Hotel was the first to give this extraordinary photographic work a gallery exhibition last spring in its prime SoHo New York location. According to Peter Blachley, “We felt that Francis Wolff certainly attained the level of artistry equal to any one else in the world who shot jazz photography at that time.” Wolff's work documented some of the most important and lasting recording sessions in the history of jazz. Although Wolff's work has been the subject of two Rizzoli books, a further mining of the archive has produced a remarkable exhibition of never-before-seen images. Prints are available in platinum and silver gelatin for permanent collections. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
