The Rolling Stones
45th edition

The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their more than 60-year career is without parallel ; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerising on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image.
"The clothes and the hair are always impeccable", describes author Lucy Sante. "They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos." Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture.

Cet album a été produit en collaboration avec le groupe grâce à un accès sans précédent à ses archives. Il déroule les 60 prodigieuses années de carrière des Rolling Stones, au gré des clichés de photographes légendaires comme David Bailey, Herb Ritts, Peter Beard, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton et Anton Corbijn.
