Studio to Stage

Music Photography from the Fifties to the Present

Jul 28 – Sep 5, 2022

Examining the past 70 years of music making, Studio to Stage, on view at Pace’s 540 West 25th Street gallery through August 19, presents the work of 17 photographers and filmmakers, featuring intimate studio portraits and striking images of onstage performances and audiences. This online presentation brings together a focused selection of works from the in-person exhibition. It showcases photos by all the artists represented in the physical presentation, including Robert Frank, Gordon Parks, Ming Smith, Peter Hujar, Irving Penn, Paul Graham, Janette Beckman, Rahim Fortune, and other international figures.

Studio to Stage recognizes the debts musicians and artists owe one another and the allegiances and connections they have created over time. Collaborations between photographers and musicians have helped cultivate myths in the music industry, develop the looks and feels of various scenes, and project artists’ sensibilities from the street and stage to the world at large. Many of the images in this exhibition tell the stories of musicians as they transformed from underground to overground stars.

Rarely exhibited together, the works in this exhibition reflect the evolution of music photography over the last century. These images speak to exchanges across different genres, eras, and geographic locations that make music a continuous, boundless, and borderless art form.
