Some of the many highlights of "Growin' Up - Bruce Springsteen at 70" include rare unpublished 1972 to 1975 photographs from Springsteen's earliest days performing in the Philadelphia area from the late photographer and Springsteen friend Phil Ceccola.
In addition, award-winning photographer Debra Rothenberg, author of the book "Bruce Springsteen In Focus 1980-2012," will showcase her photographs. No other professional photographer has been behind the camera at Springsteen concerts for as many years as Rothenberg, whos is expected to attend the opening reception on September 19, at 7p.m. Signed photographs and books will be available for purchase.
Other Springsteen photographs include works from René van Diemen, Jeff Ross, Rocco Coviello, Guy Aceto, David Denenberg and others.
All eras of Springsteen's rise to superstardom will be highlighted in this exhibit, from his early bearded days where in one photograph Bruce is shown wearing shoes that don't match to his "All-American" look of Born in the USA, to today, the gallery said in a news release.
This event is part of an ongoing series by C. Parker Gallery that focuses on the intimate connection between the music and art worlds, as well as providing family events that connects individuals of all ages to art. The exhibit is free and all works are available for purchase.
