In pictures: Terry O'Neill exhibition
Terry O’Neill: 50 Years at the Top opened yesterday at the esteemed Chris Beetles Gallery in London. The exhibit celebrates a half a century of Terry O’Neill’s iconic photographs. Including new and unseen prints from the 1960s.
Over the course of his 50 year career, Terry O’ Neill is renowned for taking pictures of glamorous celebrities during the 1960s and 1970s. He has photographed some of the world’s most legendary stars of stage and screen such as The Rolling Stones, Sean Connery or Brigitte Bardot plus members of royalty and politicians.
Among his most famous works is a photograph of Frank Sinatra walking down a street with his bodyguards. In a world where today’s celebrities strictly control their public image, O’Neill's photographs stand out for their honesty and they capture the 60’s stars in a genuine setting. His works have captured both intimate private moments and also extravagant public appearances, becoming iconic and highly collectible.
It was five decades ago that Terry O’Neill first picked up a camera, andbegan an astonishing career. First becoming a key photographer in London’s heady 1960s cultural milieu, he went on to capture most major stars of stage and screen, and has helped to define our very notion of celebrity’. His famous photographs have become iconic images that have made Terry one of the world’s most popular and collectible photographers.
The exhibition will be a combination of exquisite small vintage prints and striking large modern prints that developed from O’Neill original negatives. Many have never been seen before, having been discovered only in the last few months during extensive research of his archive.
