‘As a fellow collector, I understand the thrill of the hunt for new treasures. Rob has assembled a deep and diverse collection of classic rock graphics, now the largest in the world.’ – Sir Elton John
Dive deep into the heart of rock and roll history with ROCK VISIONS: Rock 'n' Roll Graphics From The Print Age, a stunning collection of memorabilia from 12 of the most legendary bands and artists of our times. This curated journey through the archives of Rob Roth - an award-winning theatre director whose obsession with rock 'n' roll graphics began in his teen years - captures the essence of the music, the fandom, and the larger-than-life personas that defined a generation.
Following the sell-out of the original 500-copy edition, Sir Elton John kindly signed additional introductory pages beyond the planned limitation. From these, a small number of Artist Proof copies have been created.
Artist Proof copies are produced to the same exacting production standards as the main edition and are numbered separately in Roman numerals.
ROCK VISIONS chronicles the art of 12 titans of rock: Alice Cooper, Bad Company, David Bowie, Elton John, Journey, KISS, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Steve Miller Band and The Who.
From original tour programs to backstage passes, concert tickets, t-shirts, posters, and record sleeves, ROCK VISIONS documents the graphic legacy imprinted on modern culture by the biggest names in rock - an astounding showcase of over 1,700 rare, vintage treasures.
Rob Roth's classic rock graphics collection - the largest of its kind in the world - features the work of leading photographers such as David Bailey, Brian Duffy, Robert Frank, Mick Rock, and Terry O'Neill; celebrated artists and illustrators such as Alan Aldridge, Peter Blake, Shepard Fairey, Gerald Scarfe, and Andy Warhol; and revolutionary graphic designers such as Aubrey Powell, John Pasche, and Storm Thorgerson.
'Rob Roth is obsessive/compulsive, like me. He went crazy, purchasing thousands of rare, vintage items from his favourite bands. Now, he has assembled the largest collection of classic rock graphics in the world. Obsessive/compulsive can be a good thing.' - Alice Cooper
'Part of being a collector is documenting and sharing the collection. At a backstage visit on my Farewell Tour I told Rob that if he didn't do this, he was just a "degenerate hoarder." We laughed, but it was true.' - Elton John
From the grandeur of Led Zeppelin, to the glam energy of David Bowie, the revolutionary soundscapes of Pink Floyd, and the indomitable spirit of the Rolling Stones, each chapter of ROCK VISIONS celebrates a band whose influence remains timeless.
Introduced by Sir Elton John, ROCK VISIONS offers a unique and intimate look into the world of rock legends. Alongside text captions from each of the featured artists, Rob Roth adds his historical knowledge, bringing context and life to each item in the collection. The edition also includes an essay by David Furnish and an afterword by Alice Cooper, making this more than just a collection of memorabilia - but a chance to hear directly from the people who have helped shape rock music as we know it.
'I don't know if I can convey in words how much joy my collection has brought me. The artwork ties me back to the music I grew up loving.' - Rob Roth
Curating this edition is author Rob Roth, a Tony Award-nominated Broadway director with a lifelong passion for music memorabilia. Roth, who started collecting in his teenage years, has since amassed a collection of over 10,000 items.
'It is particularly thrilling that Rock Visions is being published by Genesis. Their big, gorgeous, super high-quality books created with Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Jimmy Page, The Who and others have fuelled my passion for rock graphics.' – Rob Roth
Having directed concert tours for giants like Alice Cooper, KISS, Cyndi Lauper, and Steve Miller in world-famous venues like Madison Square Garden and the Royal Albert Hall, Rob Roth now brings his creative power and passion to ROCK VISIONS.
