Very good condition Known for his work with musicians, Gered Mankowitz has photographed dozens of album covers over the course of his career. This image of Jimi Hendrix is in stark black and white, capturing the guitarist's iconic rock and roll persona. As Hendrix's manager insisted that color photographs to be used, this black and white photograph was not revealed to the public until 1992 when Mankowitz had his first solo exhibition in London. That same year, this image was used as the cover the Hendrix's posthumous album, "Jimi Hendrix: The Ultimate Experience." Executed in 1967 and printed later, this gelatin silver print is signed and numbered forty-four from an edition of fifty. With the artist's archive blind stamp in the lower right, the work is framed and matted. The image measure 18 x 17 7/8 inches. Not examined out of frame; presumably excellent, original condition. Gered Mankowtiz (British, b. 1946) A leading contemporary photographer, Gered Mankowitz is known for his work with musicians, including the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Eurythmics, and many others. After dropping out of school at the age of fifteen, Mankowitz was offered an internship at Camera Press, Ltd. After traveling and working in various fashion and commercial roles, Mankowitz found himself in the music industry. In early 1965, he was asked to photograph the Rolling Stones; this first session produced the cover for "December's Children," and a request to go on tour with the band. This lead to steady work in the music world, producing multiple album covers for various artists. His work has been exhibited worldwide, including the Photographer's Gallery, London; The Brooklyn Art Museum, New York; the Worcester Art Museum, Massachusetts; the Social Gallery, Tokyo; and The National Portrait Gallery, London.
