Iconic Fine Art Prints
Books
The book includes his portraits, backstage moments, live performances, post-performance highs and lows, and outtakes. Neal’s photographs vibrate with a palpable and inimitable intensity.
This official book, produced in collaboration with the band, features over 200 images and is an exciting journey through their years on tour together. It’s the first time Preston and Queen have combined this work into one volume.
Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin is the first and only official coffee table book to be published in direct collaboration with the band. The book contains over 300 images by international photographers – many of them shown here for the first time.
In addition to the history of the Lightpower Collection, the illustrated book “In the Eye of the Rock’n’Roll Hurricane” mainly contains almost all Neal Preston photos from the Limelight Gallery collection and fascinating stories about his life and work.
The Rolling Stones – “Let it Bleed” – Ethan Russell– Deluxe Edition
The Rolling Stones, Altamont and the end of the Sixties. In the history of rock ‘n’ roll, 1969 was a turning point. This year, Ethan A. Russell was one of the very few to accompany the Rolling Stones on their “Let-It-Bleed” tour through the USA. And he always had his camera with him. In hotel rooms, at rehearsals, backstage. His pictures and texts provide a look behind the scenes and convey an uncensored impression of the Stones world and the rock ‘n’ roll circus of those years. Russell’s photographs capture magical moments – right up to the tragic concert in Altamont with which the band ended their US tour and which is now considered a disillusioning key event of the Love & Peace generation.
Let it Bleed is a book that not only celebrates one of the band’s best albums of all time — with hits like “Gimme Shelter” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” — but also a powerful moment between two charismatic decades that brought big changes.
The deluxe edition is limited to 750 copies and includes an 11″ x 17″ SILVER GELATIN black and white print by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, signed and hand-numbered by author Ethan Russell.
An incredible 420-page book, hand-sewn and bound, with photos taken during the 1969 historic tour that included Altamont. The Deluxe version comes in a noble folding box and was created using high-quality materials.
Ethan Russell is a multi-Grammy nominated photographer, director, and writer. He photographed covers for the Beatles “Let It Be”, “Hey Jude” – “The Rolling Stones Honky Tonk Women”, “Through The Past Darkly” – “The Who Who’s Next” and “Quadrophenia”.
The Rat Pack – Master Edition
The most luxurious book ever made on the Rat Pack. This exquisite, 448-page tome is a deluxe, limited edition. Over 80 percent of the images have never been published before and are reproduced for the first time here in breathtaking quality. “Things you’ve never seen before no matter how many of these Rat Pack books you’ve read or how into it you think you are.” (GQ).
Frank Sinatra’s legendary clique defined life in the fast lane throughout the late fifties and early sixties, dominating American culture and epitomizing a life of cocktails, love affairs and Hollywood glamour. This is the definitive book on Frank, Dean, Sammy and co. tearing up Hollywood and Las Vegas with an extended cast including Marilyn Monroe and JFK.
