Steve Joester

AC/DC

Steve Joester is a British-born Rock & Roll photographer and mixed media artist, currently living and working in New York City. Joester, a leading Rock & Roll photographer in the 70s and 80s, had his iconic images of the greatest rock performers appear on album sleeves, posters, exhibitions and magazines worldwide. Joester made his mark shooting icons such as Mick Jagger, Bob Marley, Neil Young, Sting and also documented Andy Warhol on film with Rob Halford of Judas Priest backstage at the Palladium in April 1979. In an explosive interpretation of the rock icons that left their indelible mark on our generation, Joester's unique mixed media works transcend his photography. Using an unconventional mixture of materials on his canvases, he echoes the raw energy of Rock & Roll with his own Interpretation of the emotion and power of the live performances. Joester was the first mixed media artist to be represented by the Morrison Hotel Gallery, and his work is included in collections internationally.
