About this work

Billy Idol in 1984, bleached hair spiked and lip curled, the year Rebel Yell made him one of MTV's defining faces.

Richard E. Aaron (1949–2016) spent more than two decades photographing rock, soul and pop on stage and behind the scenes. His portrait of Peter Frampton became the cover of Frampton Comes Alive!, one of the best-selling live albums of all time.

Archival pigment print from the Richard E. Aaron Estate. Estate stamped, limited edition, with certificate of authenticity.

Inside the Archive

Richard E. Aaron's archive is remarkable not only for individual iconic images, but for its scale. Approximately 4,000 artists are represented across negatives, transparencies, contact sheets and finished photographs, connecting major figures of rock, punk, soul and pop within a single body of work.

The archive also preserves the working context behind the photographs: album projects, magazine assignments, backstage access, international tours and extended documentary work. Frampton Comes Alive!, Paul McCartney and Wings for TIME, work with Mick Fleetwood in Ghana, and Aaron's China project reveal the range of a career that went far beyond concert photography.
