Steve Joester’s Art Rocks at Lawrence Fine Art

Maybe it’s because those who lived it in their early years are now the ones programming the gallery and museum shows. Or maybe it’s because the music and visual identity of the era is still so ingrained in the culture. Music was a major touchstone for the art scene, after all, with an abundance of crossover between artists and musicians. The recent Metropolitan Museum costume exhibit, “PUNK: From Chaos to Couture,” was a controversial smash, as many protested against the perceived mockery being made of a movement they considered political and socially iconoclastic in nature. The punk ethos made a claim for being very “street,” with graffiti, DIY outfits, general rebellion and a reordering of the senses called for.

Steve Joester’s Library of Superstars

By Jennifer Landes

“I got a camera, went down to London, and just started shooting things.”

A first-time visitor would have no problem finding Steve Joester’s Water Mill studio on his rambling property. The music playing, a steady mix of classic rock, is the first thing that beckons from a small building across from the house on the other side of the pool. Then there is the potent odor of paints and solvents and, once inside, a trail of graphic and brightly highlighted images that lead to his upper-level studio.

Art & Iconic Rock Collide in Bridgehampton, East Hampton

By Kevin Berlin

“I followed the music to get the peak shots. I watched the whole show through the viewfinder to get the special moments.”

These days, he transforms his iconic images—which cemented his place in rock photography royalty—into mixed media works, which are currently on view in “The Golden Age of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” an exhibit split between the White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton and Karyn Mannix’s new East Hampton gallery, The Studio. Mr. Joester said he considers himself lucky to have lived through the golden age. For those who didn’t, they are left with classic photos to help them imagine what that time was like and, in some cases, create derivative art from them.

“I always loved photography, bur I remember seeing David Hemmings in "Blow-up" and thinking: 'Wow, you can make a living doing that?"

Art, Words and Rock and Roll: Stephen Joester

By  JEFF OPPENHEIM

Music is experiential in a way similar to art.

Perhaps more visceral, or at least it is more universal, allowing for an immersive and participatory reaction. As part of my ongoing reflections of the ‘real-fake perspectives on art,’ and the inherent proposition of “what is art, what is beauty,” that is always the nagging question at the core of such dialogue, I paused to muse on works created in connection to music.

An amazing first drop with Nifty Gateway and King of Midtown/ Crypt Gallery.
