BARON WOLMAN
is ranked among the 20th Century ’s most elite and collectible photographers. As the first photographer for Rolling Stone magazine he was granted unique access to rock’n’roll’s most eponymous and notorious emerging icons, from Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix. He had a ticket to ride the tour buses from Haight Ashbury to Woodstock. His cover stories launched legends and got him in to the dressing rooms and homes of rock’n’roll’s biggest stars.

BARON WOLMAN kept a sharp eye out for the cultural shifts in fashion and culture that inspired youth. He was the first to recognize – and in 1968, photograph – the emerging phenomenon of
GROUPIES
, befriending the girls and persuading them to pose for historic portraits that captured the freedom and style of young women newly liberated by the pill, fashion and music.
