Morrison Hotel Gallery Announced As The Official Gallery
For The Monterey Pop International 50th Anniversary Celebration

The Who by Henry Diltz, Monterey Pop Festival, 1967
Another Planet Entertainment and Goldenvoice in association with the Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation announced today that Morrison Hotel Gallery
- the international leader in fine art music photography - is now the
official gallery for the 50th anniversary celebration of The Monterey
Pop Festival, occurring 50 years later. Morrison Hotel Gallery will be
on site at the festival with a pop-up gallery that will have over 50
photographic prints for sale, of the artists that performed in the
original Monterey Pop.
The dream of bringing together artistson
the cutting edge of music in the name of charity, developed into what
would become one of the seminal concerts in rock history. With the war
in Vietnam on the world stage, cultural awareness and protest took a
form of "music, love and flowers" with 170,000 people gathered at the
Monterey Fairgrounds. The festival, produced by Lou Adler
and John Phillips, was a beautifully orchestrated, peaceful gathering
created a groundbreaking experience for attendees to embrace the music
and be a part of what would become an explosion of culture that has
impacted generations.
"Morrison Hotel Gallery is honored to be the official
gallery, and part of the anniversary celebration of the historic
Monterey Pop Festival. That's what our gallery is all about - the music,
the history, the culture. It's what we and all the photographers we
work with, represent, and it's coming full circle, 50 years later to the
day, on the same spot," says gallery co-owner Timothy White.
Morrison Hotel Gallery co-owner and founder Henry Diltz -
also the official photographer for Monterey Pop 50 years ago - will be
on site to greet fans and sign autographs. A number of photographers
represented by Morrison Hotel Gallery, who were on site at the original
Monterey Pop Festival will be there to celebrate this culturally
historic event with the gallery and fans. Filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker, the
man behind the Monterey Pop movie, will also be on site at the gallery
to talk to fans. All the photographs in this gallery will be for sale on
site. There will also be a Monterey Pop exhibit at the NYC gallery from June 16th thru July 3rd.
The three-day music celebration event will take place at the
Monterey County Fairgrounds from June 16 to 18 - exactly 50 years to the
day and on the exact same spot of the legendary festival in 1967.
