The list of celebrities and musicians who have been photographed by Lynn Goldsmith shows a veritable who's who of the entertainment industry. Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Andy Warhol and Bruce Springsteen are some of the names who have posed for a Lynn Goldsmith portrait.
Part of Goldsmith's special talent is the ability to make larger-than-life artists, musicians and actors appear human. These portraits are not the retouched group collaborations of today; her work stands alone as a time capsule of an entertainment industry long gone.
This collection of portraits feature some of the best from the Lynn Goldsmith collection, including Iggy Pop, U2, the Sex Pistols, the Beatles (shoes only), Joe Cocker and Blondie. Her rock n' roll photography is currently on display at the San Francisco Art Exchange.
