Wow. What an amazing place! This gallery features such fabulous photography. I was simply floored my first visit. They have all the iconic photography that you've seen before; the last photo shoot of Marilyn Monroe (mutilated in a New York magazine spread a few years ago by Lindsay Lohan, but I digress), the famous photo of Jimi with his military jacket, Warhol shenanigans, oodles of Stones, Beatles and everyone in between, all assembled for your viewing pleasure in one über cool location.
All the staff is lovely. And the owner... well imagine a German Mick Jagger with stunning blue eyes... he alone is worth a visit.
This place is absolutely a must for a lover of rock and roll, the 60's or photography in general. GO! -

What. A. Fun. Place.
I was wandering the 90210 Rodeo Drive district when I spotted this photo/memorabilia gallery.
The first cool photo that caught my eye upon entering was a large (maybe 30x 40) b/w of the Hollywood Sign during the recent fire in that area. Billows of ominous gray smoke loomed over the hill behind the sign......what a great shot. I guess the photographer climbed up the hill and/or used a telephoto. Price: 2500 or perhaps 2800, nicely framed.
This is not a snooty place - I got a friendly tour from the nice young man minding the store (I am terrible about remembering names...). Anyway, no reason to feel intimidated in this gallery.....just ask all the questions you wish.
There were great photos of musicians, 1960's era.......the Stones, Beatles, Hendrix, Clapton, and many more. Everything was well-presented.
I stopped in my tracks and fumbled for my glasses when I encountered a photo of Dylan, under a double-opening mat, coupled with an original playlist.......scribbled in his own handwriting. Holy crap! How soon is my next my birthday and how much is someone willing to spend on me because this piece costs $6,500!! Jeeeeeez.......the song titles were abbreviated. Like.... "tangled up", he wrote. It was all in black ink on a sheet of yellow lined legal paper. I idolize that man.
Which is maybe why I would rather have his guitar.....which was hanging on the wall. A yellow Fender, played by Bob on stage. By this time I was drooling. The price? 40 grand. Holy shit.
I was overwhelmed, too much so to even start looking at all the Beatles stuff. I left with my head spinning, my lost youth flashing before me eyes.
I need a ton of money!!!!!!!! Then Ima goin' back. Dammit.Listed in: Art Galleries, Art Museums,…, Beverly Hills, Baby!!

I don't go to a lot of galleries but this one's a lot of fun since it's part gallery, part Hard Rock minus the grub. Lots of interesting pieces from either artists and photogs known for working with celebrities or the celebrities themselves. It's a small gallery practically across from the big Rite Aid (ah, to remember the days when it was a Thirfty!) and besides paintings there are also guitars and other musical instruments to look at as well. Everything's for sale and while it's expensive, it's not as expensive as I thought it would be. Still most of this stuff will break your expense account but there's nothing wrong with taking a look around next time you're strolling the Hills.

This photo gallery is unique in a good way, it wasn't very difficult to find. I could hear the music like a block away and all I had to do was follow where the music was coming from. The night I went was packed, my friend had a gallery showing of his rock band photo collection and the music was blasting so loud that I couldn't understand the other person. Other then that I had a good time. If you are in the area stop by this gallery and take a look at some of unusual photos that you probably have never seen. It won't take you long since the gallery is a medium sized...
