Jim Marshall "Trust" after the jump






The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present "Trust," a series of new photographs by renowned Rock and Roll photographer Jim Marshall. For the first time, Marshall shares images from his archive of color photographs – many which have never been seen. Published in his recent book of the same title (Trust, Omnibus 2009), the title refers to Marshall’s notion that having the artist’s trust is what led him to be able to take such revealing photographs: "I feel that in my photographs there is a trust given by the artists. When I point the camera at somebody, there's a covenant, and I will not violate that trust."
