Found: The Rolling Stones
In an unmarked box at a Southern California flea market, musician and art collector Lauren White discovered something remarkable — a cache of candid snapshots of the Rolling Stones on a 1965 tour through Savannah, Georgia and Clearwater, Florida. The images show Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and road manager Ian Stewart at an unguarded moment, playing YMCA auditoriums and college gymnasiums in support of their third album, still finding their footing before global superstardom arrived.
Nearly fifty years after they were taken, the photographer remains unknown. Keith Richards appears in only one of the 23 photographs, fueling speculation. White has her own theory. First exhibited at Dilettante gallery in Los Angeles, the photographs are a rare and thrilling piece of rock-and-roll history — intimate, unpretentious, and entirely alive.
