Dangerously in Love with Houston

An auction in conjunction with photographer Markus Klinko benefiting the Red Cross and its Hurricane Harvey relief efforts

Award-winning, international fashion and celebrity photographer Markus Klinko and Texas-based Modern Rocks Gallery today announced the launch of “Dangerously in Love with Houston: Modern Rocks Gallery / Markus Klinko Auction,” an online auction of signed, limited edition Beyoncé photographs with all proceeds benefiting the Red Cross and its Hurricane Harvey relief efforts.

The online auction will feature three 16”X20” photographs of Houston-native Beyoncé from the 2003 cover shoot of her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, signed by Markus Klinko. This is the first time these prints have been made available as a unique set.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, David Bowie's 5th studio album was released in the UK on this day in 1972.

We're incredibly proud to work with the original album cover designer, Terry Pastor, to bring you signed limited edition prints of both the front and back covers from what has been consistently considered one of the greatest albums of all time.

Following the hugely anticipated opening of the Pink Floyd exhibition #TheirMortalRemains at the V&A Museum in London, we're proud to announce a new collection of rare and early shots of the band from June 1967 by photographer Andrew Whittuck. Many of these wonderful shots feature in the exhibition.

Andrew recalls "I had a friend who knew the Pink Floyd managers and they were keen for any publicity, since they had only been formed eighteen months before. So for the first shoot they all came to my studio/bedroom in my parents’ house in Hampstead with all their instruments and most importantly for me, with their lighting guy. The only illumination I used was the lighting they used in their gigs, a 35mm Kodak projector with glass slides with a mixture of oil/water and coloured ink. 

I also then accompanied Pink Floyd to Abbey Road were I took a series of black and white images of them whilst they were recording their debut abum 'Pipers at the Gates of Dawn'. After that I took photographs of them at the UFO Club, Alexander Palace and the Royal College of Art."
