Aussie rock photographer Tony Mott is the kind of artist who’s work you’ve undoubtedly seen before, even if you didn’t know who was behind it. He’s captured musicians from The Rolling Stones, Björk and Nirvana to INXS, Cold Chisel and Midnight Oil in the studio and onstage, sweaty, passionate and raw. To celebrate the book release of an archive of his work – Alphabet A – Z: Rock ‘N’ Roll Photography By Tony Mott – the State Library of New South Wales is hosting an exhibit of 300 photos from his collection. In the words of Neil Young, “Rock’n’roll will never die,” and Mott’s images make sure of it.
We’ve got a Tony Mott prize pack to give away, including a signed copy of the book and a double pass to the exhibition opening night on Friday October 16. Enter below.
