'Kate Bush Drama' SIGNED, LIMITED EDITION 1978 by Gered Mankowitz Silver gelatin print - signed and numbered and stamped on the face of the print in the border below the image. Iconic and luscious close up shot of the legendary British pop singer, song writer and performer Kate Bush. Taken in London in 1978 at the height of her fame and success, by legendary Rock & Music photographer, Gered Mankowitz. GERED MANKOWITZ BIOGRAPHY: Gered Mankowitz was born in London, England, on 3rd August 1946. The first of four sons of the late author, playwright and film writer Wolf Mankowitz and his wife, the Jungian psychotherapist Ann Mankowitz. After an education of sorts at several London co-educational “progressive” schools, he left at 15, avoiding all exams and completed his education devoid of any formal qualifications. Having displayed a natural ‘eye’ for photography whilst on a school trip to Holland and having been inspired to take up photography by the actor Peter Sellers, his photographs were seen by the legendary photographer Tom Blau, who offered Gered an apprenticeship at his famous photo agency, Camera Press Ltd., in London. Over a period of several months Gered worked in all the various departments that made up Camera Press, finally moving to the studio and going on various assignments in and around London. In 1962, Gered went to Barbados with his family and began taking photographs professionally, producing a range of work from architectural studies for the island’s top architect to the first Boeing 707 landing at Bridgetown airport for British West Indian Airways. On returning to London, Gered was offered a chance to go to Paris for the collections, working for the fashion photographer Alec Murray. In spite of the glamour and exciting atmosphere, it was clear that this particular area of work was not for him, and on returning to London he went to work for the ‘show-biz’ portraitist, Jeff Vickers. Gered had already photographed the Bristol Old Vic production of the American musical play “Fiorello” and his photos had been used for the front of theatre display when the show transferred to London’s Piccadilly Theatre. This made him the youngest photographer to have his pictures used in this way; so working for Jeff Vickers gave him an opportunity to develop his ‘show-biz’ contacts and to broaden his experience in the studio, taking portraits of many actors and other personalities. During 1963, Gered met and photographed the singing duo Chad and Jeremy, who had just signed with Ember records. One of these photos was used as the cover of the duo’s first album, “Yesterday’s Gone”, and Gered found himself working in the music industry at a time when it desperately needed new, mould breaking images. He began to work with a new generation of producers like John Barry, Shel Talmy and Chris Blackwell photographing artists who were of his own age group and who felt at ease with him in a way that had not been possible with other photographers. At the end of 1963 Gered opened his first studio, at 9 Masons Yard in the heart of London’s West End. On one side was the infamous disco “The Scotch of St.James”, hangout of the pop glitterati of the time, and on the other the art gallery “Indica”, partly financed by The Beatles and where John Lennon met Yoko Ono. Within a few months Gered had already begun to make a name for himself, and he was approached to photograph Marianne Faithful, who had just had a big hit with “As Tears Go By”. Working closely with Marianne he got to know her manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham. In early 1965, Oldham asked him to photograph the Rolling Stones, who he also managed and produced. This was a major turning point in Gered’s career, because from this first session came the cover for “Out of Our Heads” (U.S. title “December’s Children”), and as a result he was asked by the Stones to go to America with them on their record breaking 1965 autumn tour. During this 9 week (48 city) tour of the U.S. Gered photographed the Stones on stage and off, and got particularly close to Keith and Charlie. There were many adventures as Gered found himself on the road with the greatest Rock band in the world at the peak of their original success. Gered continued working with the Stones as their ‘official’ photographer, producing photos for albums (“Between the Buttons”; “Got Live If You Want It”; “Big Hits”; and several others), press and publicity, taken at home, in the recording studio, on stage and behind the scenes until 1967, when the band broke off with their manager, Oldham. Through the 60’s, Gered continued in the music world working with Oldham at his famous Immediate label, and with many other major artists including Jimi Hendrix, Free, Traffic, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces and Soft Machine. In to the 70’s with Slade, Gary Glitter, Suzi Quatro, Sweet, Elton John, Kate Bush, Eurythmics, ABC, Duran Duran and many others. During this period, Gered also worked in other areas of photography, including advertising, book covers and a brief spell taking ‘stills’ on movies, including several months in Sardinia with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on the ill-fated movie “Boom”. In 1982 Gered had a major exhibition of his work at London’s famous Photographers’ Gallery. This was seen by over 16,000 people, a record for the gallery at the time, and it then toured the U.K. for over 2 years. This exhibition was the first in the U.K. to focus on the world of music and was a pathfinder in this genre. In 1984 a book based on this exhibition, called “Hit Parade”, was published in the U.K. and U.S.A. Also in 1984 a book of Gered’s Rolling Stones photographs, called “Satisfaction”, was published. Both books were very well received, and as a result there began the growing interest in the Gered Mankowitz archive. For over 22 years Gered was based at his North London studio, a converted Victorian chapel, taking prize-winning photos for the advertising industry. He has also been a regular contributor to several major publications, and still works in the music business, photographing bands and singers for album covers and magazines. He contributes regularly to The Sunday Times Magazine and Mojo magazine as well as shooting sessions with musical artists such as Oasis, Verve, Catatonia, Kula Shaker, Embrace, The Buena Vista Social Club, Snow patrol, The Bravery, Dukes Spirit as well as many others. Prints of Gered’s work are purchased in galleries throughout the World including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Berlin, Amsterdam, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Dubai and Tokyo. In 1991 Gered teamed up with the designer David Costa to form Ink Icon Ltd. and to produce a series of limited edition silkscreen prints based on his archive. The first subject in this major project was Jimi Hendrix, and the result was so successful that it was chosen to become the flagship image for the world wide Jimi Hendrix Exhibition. It was also used as the cover for the Polygram Int. C.D. package, entitled The Ultimate Experience, which has gone on to sell well over 2 million copies. In 1993 they created three new images of Hendrix for the worldwide re-release of the great musicians’ albums. Their next project was to produce a set of 4 silk screen images for The Rolling Stones’ Voodoo Lounge tour, and in 1999 they produced Red Cage, a new Stones silk screen to celebrate the band’s continuing Bridges to Babylon tour. Ink Icon teamed up with top California based fine art publisher FrontLine Graphics Inc to produce a set of 6 limited edition, fine art litho prints that they launched in New York at ArtExpo in March 2000. In September and November 1992 Gered had a great success with his exhibition called ENTERTAINERS at the Cromwell and Ward Gallery in Dean Street, London, and in May and June 1993 the exhibition was at the City Museum in Portsmouth as part of the City’s Arts and Music Festival. In April 1994 the exhibition was enlarged to over 100 images for a four-week stay at the prestigious Gallerie Rose in Hamburg, Germany’s Rock’n’Roll city, and then on to Birmingham and Perpignan. In March 1995 Genesis Books published a limited edition (1750 copies only) book of Gered’s Rolling Stones photographs entitled Masons Yard To Primrose Hill and in July 1995 there was an exhibition based on the book at The Govinda Gallery in Washington DC. This book sold out within a few months and recently copies were changing hands for 850 GBP, over 7 times its original price! In early 1999 Genesis published a further book called I-Contact, which contains Gered’s entire black & white Rolling Stones archive of over 3000 images reproduced as 12 x 16 contact sheets. I-Contact also sold out very quickly and currently you would be lucky to find a used copy for less than 1000 GBP! In November 1998 there was a second one-man exhibit at Govinda in Washington DC, and in December/January 1999 there was a show at Magidson Fine Arts in Madison Avenue, New York City. During this prestigious show the gallery was visited by Tommy Hilfiger who purchased prints of the entire show, becoming in one purchase, Gered’s single biggest collector in the United States. Subsequently Tommy has used many of Gered’s prints to decorate his flagship stores, as well as his personal offices in New York. Gered’s famous photo of Hendrix also graced the cover of the Hilfiger sponsored Vanity Fair Rock Icons supplement in their December 1999 issue. Gered had several images in the Icons of Pop exhibition originally at The National Portrait Gallery in London. In March 1999 Gered went to Tokyo to open his first show in Japan, which then toured to three other Japanese cities. From February 2000 several of Gered’s works are on permanent exhibit in San Francisco at the San Francisco Art Exchange, where they have become some of the galleries most consistent sellers. At the end of 2000 Gered had his first major show in The Netherlands at the highly respected Torch Gallery, and in July/August 2001 over 35 prints of his work from the 60’s were seen in Lucerne, Switzerland as part of an International Blues Festival. In December 2001/January 2002 Gered teamed up with the legendary Beatles photographer Robert Freeman and presented a 64 image show in Hong Kong which was a huge success and went on to the Tres Hombres Gallery at the Hotel Tylosand in Halmstad, near Stockholm, Sweden for the whole of Summer 2002. The show was then exhibited in San Francisco in December 2002 through until the end of January 2003. This extraordinary collection that captures the 60’s so brilliantly continued to tour throughout 2004/5. From May 31st 2002 Gered participated in a major exhibition of photographs of Jimi Hendrix at the Audi Forum in Piccadilly Central London, which he also helped to curate and his images of Jimi were used within one of the first interactive television commercials produced for the Audi TT at the same time. Gered published a new book of his Rolling Stones photographs in September 2002 with Vision On Publishers which was launched with an all new Rolling Stones exhibit at the Proud Camden Gallery. This same show was then presented in Hamburg as part of Universal Music’s launch of the re-issued Rolling Stones catalogue of CD’s. With the sponsorship of HP this exhibition toured the UK and was also shown in galleries in Paris and Milan during the latter part of 2004. In June of 2003 together with his partner David Costa, Gered launched a Jimi Hendrix limited edition Fender Stratocaster guitar...
