Marshall (1936–2010) spent his life documenting jazz, folk and then rock ‘n’ roll. He has been called the most celebrated and prolific photographer of the 20th century, creating hundreds of legendary images that came into the public consciousness through magazine features, more than 500 album covers and six books. Not only was he backstage at the Beatles’ final paid concert in 1966 he was also the chief photographer at Woodstock. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of San Francisco’s Summer of Love, 60 of Marshall’s images of the scene in Haight-Ashbury will be on display, including the photo of Jimi Hendrix’s historic free concert in the Panhandle Park (see above), as well as snapshots of the Monterey Pop Festival, Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead.
