Celebrated as “The Man Who Shot the ’70s,” the images of Mick Rock help visualize what we know today as rock ‘n’ roll and is on view at NYC’s Morrison Hotel Gallery.

A portrait of an unknown David Bowie launched Rock’s career in 1972 and he since spent the next four decades capturing the who’s who of rock royalty.

The exhibition “Rock: Music” coincides with the launch of Rock’s new book, “Exposed: The Faces of Rock ‘n’ Roll.”

Rock’s latest book is a retrospective that includes images of ’70s legends David Bowie, Queen, Iggy Pop, the Sex Pistols, Andy Warhol and more mixed with the new guard of the Killers and Lady Gaga with a sprinkling of multi-genre heavyweights like Snoop Dogg and Kate Moss.
