Patti Smith: American Artist has been produced as a fine-art photography book containing some of the “most beautiful portraits of Patti Smith ever taken” according to photographer, Bob Gruen. The intimate photographs, along with Stefanko’s first-hand accounts, capture the period of cultural change from the mid 1960s to the late 1970s, when a new genre of music was being born.
Richard Evans Schultes photographs are available in limited edition estate-stamped prints through Govinda Gallery. Please contact the gallery for details or other information.
Govinda Gallery is pleased to present Days of Hope & Dreams, the first solo exhibition of the photographs of Frank Stefanko. Stefanko, a young photographer who grew up in a working class neighborhood in New Jersey not far from Bruce Springsteen’s hometown, was introduced to the performer by their mutual friend, Patti Smith, in 1978.
