Since December 2nd the der Fondazione Forma per la Fotografia in Milan is presenting the exhibition „Mick Jagger. The Photobook.“ Not only with the idea to honor one of the biggest rock stars of all times but also an icon of our culture this exhibition documents the almost chameleon-like evolution of Jagger with over 70 portraits taken by some of the best photographers in the world.
The past 40 years Jagger has left his footprints in rock history, inspired generations over generations all over the world as well as upcoming rock bands and the portraits exhibited at Fondazione Forma per la Fotografía are proof for his rock star status par excellence. In addition, this exhibition acts as a project to deliver an insight of 50 years of the history in portraits.
Starting with portraits taken in the 60s by legendary photographers like Goodwin, Mankowitz and Périer to experiments by Cecil Beaton as well as more recent portraits by Annie Leibovitz, Karl Lagerfeld, Anton Corbijn and Peter Lindbergh. The viewer witnesses an important metamorphosis that has coined iconography in rock music since the birth of the Rolling Stones. This exhibition is not only interesting because it shows the incredible versatility of the legend Jagger but also it takes us on a journey to demonstrate the change in aesthetic paradigms in photography. For all fans of the Rolling Stones but also for fans of photography this exhibition is an absolute must-see.
