About the Exhibit:
"The Soho Blues" series offers fine art prints of some of the work of Allan Tannenbaum, which started with the John Lennon and Yoko Ono series from 1980. The series is now being expanded to include the more music figures such as Jimi Hendrix from Winterland in San Francisco, Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones, Jimie Page from Led Zepplin and others.

Artist and photojournalist Allan Tannenbaum took a good portion of the series during the time he was working with The Soho Weekly News in New York.

Allan Tannenbaum, Internationally recognized fine art and news photographer, has been published in Time, Newsweek, Life, People, Paris Match, Focus, and many other media and photography collections. In 1980, just 10 days before John Lennon's tragic death, he photographed Lennon and Yoko Ono in a poignant series of studies. Now, 20 years later Tannenbaum has created a new series of digitally enhanced images. This new series as well as new images of music figures such as Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards will be on view. Dates of the original photographs range in from 1968 through 1998.

Allan Tannenbaum started photographing in the 1960’s..He received a Bachelor of Arts from Rutgers University, and pursued graduate studies in filmmaking. In 1973 when the Soho News started up in New York, Allan joined their team and remained until 1982. He joined Sygma as a staff photojournalist and spent an exciting twenty years covering National and International Events.

Tannenbaum says:

"Photography has always been the key to many great experiences for me, from the rich and famous to the down and out, from Manhattan to Afghanistan. But it isn’t really about me, its about what’s happening in front of my lens."
