My dad says that timing is everything! This was certainly the case when my friend, and former co-worker, Karin Levinson told me that her uncle Michael Friedman, former music manager, and his wife had just found nearly 1,000 never-developed negatives in their attic of music legends like, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Kris Kristofferson and The Band!
Presumed lost for over 40 years, we knew now was definitely the time to develop these into a legendary exhibit at The California Heritage Museum.
The exhibit invited music and pop culture lovers of all ages to witness the intimate moments, both on and off stage, from this never- before-seen music time capsule. In addition to the Awkward Family Photos exhibit, it was one of the most successful exhibits to date and was extended several months after its original close date.
The exhibit was so well received that on Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019, Friedman will join the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, where his never-before-seen photos will serve as a permanent collection- Exposed! Music Legends 1969-1973: The Once-Lost Photography of Michael Friedman.
