About

East Austin-based Modern Rocks Gallery announces a very exciting, new exhibition, “Fifty Years in Exile,” featuring a collection of rare, unseen and vintage photographs from The Rolling Stones’ 1972 session with legendary photographer Norman Seeff. Photos from the late night shoot were ultimately used to produce a set of postcards which were included with the original pressing of the band’s masterpiece, “Exile on Main St.” The album turned 50 this past May and now the prints are being shown exclusively at Modern Rocks Gallery. This impressive exhibition will run from Aug. 19 - Sept. 30, 2022 with an Opening Reception on Friday, Aug. 19, 2022 at Modern Rocks, located at 916 Springdale Road, Canopy, Building 3 Austin, Texas 78702. The Opening Reception will be from 7 - 10 p.m. and is open to the public. Refreshments will be provided by Mark Shilling, CEO at Susto, who’ll be pouring a Rolling Stones themed cocktail he’s created just for the show, “Soul Survivor,” along with a straight pour of Tumblin’Dice Bourbon to complete the Exile On Main St themed bar. ​​Media are invited to attend a private tour of the exhibition at 6 p.m. ahead of the public opening reception at 7 p.m. For media who wish to attend, please RSVP to madison@juiceconsulting.com. Following the opening event, the exhibition will be on display Thursday to Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. or by appointment. To contact the gallery please call (512) 524-1488.
