April 2020
Due to the State of California’s Safer at Home order in response to the global Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve opted to proceed with an online exhibition, encouraging our patrons to use our new shopping cart system to purchase posters, postcards and signed prints as a means of supporting this show. We’ve linked Linda Aronow’s previous exhibition and added options for additional photo purchase sizes there as well.
We appreciate your support and hope that by allowing online access we can alleviate at least some of the stress of being forced indoors at the height of Spring. We hope that all of you are safe and healthy and we look forward to seeing you in person as soon as this global situation allows.
We’ll host a physical installation of Linda’s work next year to coincide with a book release and signing event.
Linda Aronow was the manger of WACKO on
Melrose during it’s heyday in the 80s and 90s when Punk was becoming New Wave, but the Post Punk sound was giving way to what would soon be termed Alternative Rock. On the weekends, kids flocked from East LA and the Valley to Melrose Avenue to buy their Doc Martens and Manic Panic hair dye, and Linda was everybody’s favorite Goth Shopkeeper. In the evenings Linda was busy documenting the live music scene of that era, and managed to capture still photos of the most iconic bands of the day over multiple gigs spanning over a decade.

Linda Aronow’s bio and personal show statement.
The collection of photographs that comprised her first-ever exhibition (CLICK TO ACCESS:
A Punk Rock Primer: L.A. 1982 – 1992), included incredibly intuitive snapshots of
Minor Threat, Henry Rollins &
Black Flag, T.S.O.L.,
The Damned, Christian Death,
GBH, Kommunity FK,
Social Distortion, Alice Bag, and some of the first ever shows by the
Red Hot Chili Peppers.
For Linda’s sophomore exhibition, we’re showcasing another incredible assortment of never before seen photos from L.A.’s Punk Rock Golden Age. It is nothing short of extraordinary (and testimony to Linda’s dedication to the music and culture of the time) that new iconic images continue to emerge nearly 40 years after the fact, presenting a miraculous time capsule for this and future generations. All of the photographs that will be on display were shot with a Canon AE1 and developed in a darkroom by the photographer, herself. All are signed and numbered. For this exhibition we are offering each photograph in three size possibilities:
8×10 in. photographs are $250
11×14 in. photographs are $425
16×20 in. photographs are $650
