ROZZ WILLIAMS CHRISTIAN DEATH Live Photo 12/3/1982 8x10 Linda Aronow
Item History & Price
This is the original print made by Linda as a memento of the gig we (Christian Death) played with Twisted Roots, 45 Grave at the Cove, Hermosa Beach, CA 12-3-1982. I've had this for 38 years ...- it has been pinned in the corners. Not Mint. Condition as Shown. Item in listing photo is item you will receive.
(There are a couple other Linda Aronow photos from that gig which I've put up. I didn't list them as I don't think there's any demand for my pic LoL. Rozz - that's different, of course...)
I am in desperate need of funds which is why I've listed this and other punk era memorabilia I have saved. Please see my other listings for that stuff...<I was a Venice punker and skater. Johnnie Sage - guitar in Mau-Maus and Joneses. This is legit.>
From Gallery 30 South, April 2020:Linda Aronow was the manger of WACKO on Melrose during it’s heyday in the 80s and 90s when Punk was becoming New Wave, but the Post Punk sound was giving way to what would soon be termed Alternative Rock. On the weekends, kids flocked from East LA and the Valley to Melrose Avenue to buy their Doc Martens and Manic Panic hair dye, and Linda was everybody’s favorite Goth Shopkeeper. In the evenings Linda was busy documenting the live music scene of that era, and managed to capture still photos of the most iconic bands of the day over multiple gigs spanning over a decade. Click here for Linda Aronow’s bio and personal show statement. The collection of photographs that comprised her first-ever exhibition (CLICK TO ACCESS: A Punk Rock Primer: L.A. 1982 – 1992), included incredibly intuitive snapshots of Minor Threat, Henry Rollins & Black Flag, T.S.O.L., The Damned, Christian Death, GBH, Kommunity FK, Social Distortion, Alice Bag, and some of the first ever shows by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Linda’s photos from L.A.’s Punk Rock Golden Age. It is nothing short of extraordinary (and testimony to Linda’s dedication to the music and culture of the time) -- presenting a miraculous time capsule for this and future generations. All of the photographs that will be on display were shot with a Canon AE1 and developed in a darkroom by the photographer, herself. All are signed and numbered. For this exhibition we are offering each photograph in three size possibilities:
8×10 in. photographs are $250
11×14 in. photographs are $425
16×20 in. photographs are $650
