The first leg of the exhibition’s world tour opened in Paris in April 2016 at the Philharmonie de Paris, the largest Music & Art museum in Europe. It was a public and critical success – over 65,000 visitors attended the exhibition. You can find my previous post here.

After success in Paris, the exhibition took over NYC for a full 3 months of Velvet Underground, from October 10th to December 30th, 2018.

Over 30 of my photographs were exhibited and this time six were made into postcards.

The exhibition took place at 718 Broadway, New York, NY 10003. You can find more details and information on the Velvet Underground Experience website and read a New York Times preview of the show.

The BBC Arts reviews “New York Extravaganza” Velvet Underground in Paris

A good review on the ‘New York Extravaganza’ Velvet Underground show in Paris, featuring my photographs.

“It is 50 years since The Velvet Underground & Nico album was recorded. A major new exhibition in Paris tells the story of the group which created it and of the New York scene which produced them. Parisians hold the Velvets in particular esteem and, as ALLAN CAMPBELL notes, the city itself has often been the scene of key moments in the Velvets’ history, not least a legendary appearance at Le Bataclan.”
