Gered Mankowitz-Rock Photographer
Gered Mankowitz is a leading photographer of his generation, famous for his
work with The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and many other musicians over the
last forty years.
Gered Mankowitz was born in London, England, on 3rd August 1946. The first of four sons of the late author, playwright and film writer Wolf Mankowitz and his wife, the psychoanalyst Ann Mankowitz.
After an education of sorts at several London co-educational “progressive” schools, he left at 15, avoiding all exams and completed his education devoid of any formal qualifications. Having displayed a natural ‘eye’ for photography whilst on a school trip to Holland, his photographs were seen by the legendary photographer Tom Blau, who offered Gered an apprenticeship at his famous photo agency, Camera Press. Over a period of several months Gered worked in all the various departments that made up Camera Press, finally moving to the studio and going on various assignments in and around London.
In 1962, Gered went to Barbados with his family and began taking photographs professionally, producing a range of work from architectural studies to the first Boeing 707 landing at Bridgetown airport for British West Indian Airways.
On returning to London, Gered was offered a chance to go to Paris for the collections, working for the fashion photographer Alec Murray. In spite of the glamour and exciting atmosphere, it was clear that this particular area of work was not for him, and on returning to London he went to work for the ‘show-biz’ portraitist, Jeff Vickers. Gered had already photographed the Bristol Old Vic production of “Fiorello”, and his photos had been used for the front of theatre display when the show transferred to London’s Piccadilly Theatre. This made him the youngest photographer to have his pictures used in this way, so working for Jeff Vickers gave him an opportunity to develop his ‘show-biz’ contacts and to broaden his experience in the studio, taking portraits of many actors and other personalities.
During 1963, Gered met and photographed the singing duo Chad and Jeremy, who had just signed with Ember records. One of these photos was used as the cover of the duo’s first album, “Yesterday’s Gone”, and Gered found himself working in the music industry at a time when it desperately needed new, mould breaking images. He began to work with a new generation of producers like John Barry, Shel Talmy and Chris Blackwell photographing artists who were his own age group and who felt at ease with him in a way that had not been possible with other photographers.
At the end of 1963 Gered opened his first studio, at 9 Masons Yard in the heart
of London’s West End. On one side was the infamous disco “The
Scotch of St.James” and on the other the art gallery “Indica”,
partly financed by The Beatles and where John Lennon met Yoko Ono.
Within a few months Gered had already begun to make a name for himself, and
he was approached to photograph Marianne Faithful, who had just had a big hit
with “As Tears Go By”. Working closely with Marianne he got
to know her manager and producer Andrew Loog Oldham. In early 1965, Oldham
asked him to photograph the Rolling Stones, who he also managed and produced.
This was a major turning point in Gered’s career, because from this first
session came the cover for “Out of Our Heads” (U.S. title “December’s
Children”), and as a result he was asked by the Stones to go to America
with them on their record breaking 1965 tour. During this 9 week (48 city)
tour of the U.S. Gered photographed the Stones on stage and off, and got particularly
close to Keith and Charlie. There were many adventures as Gered found
himself on the road with the greatest Rock band in the world at the peak of
their original success. Gered continued working with the Stones as their
‘official’ photographer, producing photos for albums (“Between
the Buttons”; “Got Live If You Want It”; “Big
Hits”; and several others), press and publicity, taken at home, in the
recording studio, on stage and behind the scenes until 1967, when the band broke
off with their manager, Oldham.
Through the 60’s, Gered continued in the music world working with Oldham at his famous Immediate label, and with many major artists including Jimi Hendrix, Free, Traffic, The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Soft Machine; and through the 70’s with Slade, Gary Glitter, Suzi Quatro, Sweet, Elton John, Kate Bush, Eurythmics, ABC, Duran Duran and many others.
During this decade, Gered worked in other areas of photography, including advertising, book covers and a brief spell taking ‘stills’ on movies, including several months in Sardinia with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on the ill-fated movie “Boom”.
In 1982 Gered had a major exhibition of his work at London’s famous Photographers’ Gallery. This was seen by over 16,000 people, a record for the gallery at this time, and it then toured the U.K. for over 2 years. In 1984 a book based on this exhibition, called “Hit Parade”, was published in the U.K. and U.S.A. Also in 1984 a book of his Rolling Stones photographs, called “Satisfaction”, was published. Both books were very well received, and as a result there began the growing interest in the Gered Mankowitz archive.
Over the last 20 years Gered has been based at his North London studio, a converted Victorian chapel, taking prize-winning photos for the advertising industry. He has also been a regular contributor to several major publications, and still works occasionally in the music business, photographing bands and singers for album covers and magazines. He has contributed regularly to Mojo magazine as well as shooting sessions with current artists such as Oasis, Verve, Catatonia, Kula Shaker and many others. Prints of Gered’s work are selling in London, New York, Washington DC, Las Angeles and Tokyo, and in August 1991 several of Gered’s images sold for record prices at Sotheby’s in London.
In 1991 Gered teamed up with the designer David Costa to form Ink Icon Ltd. and to produce a series of limited edition silk screen prints based on his archive. The first subject in this major project was Jimi Hendrix, and the result was so exciting that it was chosen to become the flagship image for the world wide Jimi Hendrix Exhibition and also the cover for the Polygram Int. C.D. package entitled The Ultimate Experience which has gone on to sell over a million copies. In 1993 they created three new images of Hendrix for the world-wide re-release of the great musicians albums. Their next project was to produce a set of 4 silk screen images for The Rolling Stones’ Voodoo Lounge tour. In 1999 they produced Red Cage, a new Stones silk screen to celebrate the band’s continuing Bridges to Babylon tour. They are currently working on a set of fine art litho prints for production and distribution in the U.S.A.
In September and November 1992 Gered had a great success with his exhibition called ENTERTAINERS at the Cromwell and Ward Gallery in Dean Street, London, and in May and June 1993 the exhibition was at the City Museum in Portsmouth as part of the City’s Arts and Music Festival. In April 1994 the exhibition was enlarged to over 100 images for a four week stay at the prestigious Gallerie Rose in Hamburg, Germany’s Rock’n’Roll city. In the summer of 1994 it was in Birmingham and in September it went to Perpignan, France.
In March 1995 Genesis Books published a limited edition (1750 copies only) book of Gered’s Rolling Stones photographs entitled Masons Yard To Primrose Hill and in July 1995 there was an exhibition based on the book at The Govinda Gallery in Washington DC. This book sold out within a few months and recently copies were changing hands for £350, over 3 time it’s original price! In early 1999 Genesis published a further book called I-Contact, which contains Gered’s entire black & white Rolling Stones archive of over 3000 images reproduced as 12 x 16 contact sheets. I-Contact is virtually sold out with only 50 or so copies still available. In November 1998 there was a new exhibit at Govinda in Washington DC, and in December/January there was a show at Magidson Fine Arts in Madison Avenue, New York City. During this prestigious show the gallery was visited by Tommy Hilfiger who purchased prints of the entire show, becoming, in one purchase Gered’s single biggest collector in the United States. Subsequently Tommy has used many of Gered’s prints to decorate his flagship London store in New Bond Street, as well as his personal offices in New York.
Gered had several images in the Icons of Pop exhibition at The National Portrait Gallery in London, now currently touring the UK. In March 1999 Gered went to Tokyo to open his first show in Japan which is currently touring to three other Japanese cities. There are also plans for an autumn show in San Francisco and a show in Budapest. In 2000 there is going to be a major exhibition of Gered’s work at The National Centre for Popular Music in Sheffield.
Gered is currently working on a book of new portraits to be published in 2003
to celebrate 40 years as a photographer.

I was introduced to Andrew Loog Oldham, the manager and producer for The Stones,
in 1965 through my work with Marianne Faithfull, who he also managed. I then
became the “unofficial” official photographer to the band for nearly
3 years at the very pinnacle of their initial success, finally parting from
them in 1967. During this time I photographed them in my studio, on stage, back-stage,
in recording studios and at home, The selection of images in this gallery are
only a tiny sample of my vast archive of Stones images. If you are interested

I had the privilege to work with Jimi twice in 1967. On both occasions he, together
with Mitch and Noel, came to my studio in Masons Yard, in London’s West
End. We got on incredibly well and I found him to be a most charming, humble
and witty person as well as a willing and enthusiastic subject. He was very
easy to photograph because apart from having tremendous charisma, he had wonderful
style.

MARIANNE FAITHFULL & THE SIXTIES
MARIANNE AND THE 60's
I met Marianne in 1964 at the flat of my dear friend Jeremy Clyde, who at that
time was one half of the singing duo Chad & Jeremy. Within a few days of
this meeting I started to photograph Marianne and through the success of these
photographs her manager, Andrew Loog Oldham invited me to work with The Rolling
Stones.

THE STONES COLLECTIONThis series of four silk screen prints are based on photographs
that I took in 1965, and were produced with the approval of the band for the
Voodoo Lounge World tour. We still have a few left from this very successful
edition and if you missed out when you went to see the show now is your chance
to purchase them. Each print was produced in a limited edition of 1000 prints
only, and were printed for Ink Icon by one of London’s finest silk screen
art printers using up to 12 different colours to achieve the rich and subtle
toning. They have been produced on 300gsm handmade Arches waterleaf paper at
35x24ins. with an image size of approximately 27x20ins. I have signed and numbered
each one individually and they bear the embossed stamps of my archive and that
of Ink Icon.
Each print is available at£125 (£146 inclusive of VAT for European
customers only) plus P&P.
The pair is available at the special price of £425 (£500 inclusive
of VAT for European customers only) plus P&P.
Red Cage was produced in June 1999 to celebrate the arrival of the Bridges to
Babylon tour to the U.K. Until now it has only been available in the U.K. and
this is the first time that we have offered it elsewhere. It is printed in four
colours (metallic gold, red, ochre & black) on Somerset Satin paper, a 310gsm,
100% cotton, acid free, mould made paper manufactured by St. Cuthberts Mill.
The sheet size is 40x30ins. with an image size of 29x22ins. Each print is hand
pulled by Wayne Johnson in London in a limited world-wide edition of only 200
copies. Each one is individually signed and numbered by myself and bears the
embossed stamps of my archive, Ink Icon and that of Wayne Johnson.
Each print is available at £195 (£229 inclusive of VAT for European
customers only) plus P&PGM65 The Stones

THE ICON-JET ICON
About 7 years when I first began to experiment with digital imaging my ambition
was to be able to re-create some of my early black & white images, adding
colour and texture and anything else that took my fancy. I would have hated
someone else doing the same thing to my work but felt totally comfortable doing
it myself. The first real project that I undertook using my new found digital
toys was a series of CD covers for very early Jimi Hendrix recordings that were
being released in Europe. I am now in a position to produce my own ink-jet prints,
printing them on watercolour paper using specially manufactured archival inks,
and I call them ICON-JET prints. I have selected 3 images from this series to
launch my Icon-Jet gallery and they are available as A3 (297x492mm) prints only
at this time. They are printed to order on watercolour paper that has been manufactured
especially for ink jet printing and are individually signed and numbered in
a limited edition of only 150 prints.GM70 JIMI HENDRIX

PROMOTIONAL GALLERY
Rolling Stones Special Edition Book offer
This is the new gallery for the promotional offers, as advertised on the home
page.
I am very pleased to be able to offer the beutiful, hardbound and boxed edition
of my book on The Rolling Stones that was originally published in September
2002 by Vision-On Publications. Unfortunately Vision-On went into liquidation
early in 2003 and this edition of my book was not available, having already
sold nearly 750 of the 1000 copies printed in this splendid limited edition.
I am now able to offer the last 250 copies of this very rare book at the special
price of £80 plus P&P (approx: US$200/Euros:142)
This superb edition is 295mm x 246mm in size and contains 224 pages of superbly
reproduced black & white and colour photographs of the Stones taken during
1965 to 1967 on tour, at home, in my studio and in the recording studio and
represents the most intimate photographic record of this great band at the peak
of their original success! This special edition also includes an exclusive and
completely seperate 32 page supplementary full colour booklet covering my only
other photo shoot with the band taken in 1982 during rehearsals for the World
tour of that year.
The main book also includes a wonderful introduction by Andrew Loog Oldham as
well as an exclusive interview with Marianne Faithfull!
Each copy is hand signed by myself and is also numbered.Book1 The Rolling
