On Thursday night on May 5th, 2022, the 70s, 80s, and 90s Hip Hop, Punk, and fashion enthusiasts alike went down memory lane to celebrate and enjoy the photographic works of British photographer Janette Beckman. Her Exhibition, Rebels, featured at Fahey/Klein Gallery (Los Angeles), took many of us back in time, to the beginning of history in the making.
Rebels, which encompasses 40 years of photography, provides a magnificent glimpse of Janette's importance in the worlds of art, photojournalism, music, fashion, and popular culture. Janette Beckman has spent decades photographing larger-than-life rebels in music, fashion, and other fields. The impromptu and raw quality of each image is what gives her images their engaging appeal — similar to the spontaneous wildness of 1970s and 1980s subcultures themselves.
Janette Beckman’s work is in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery, London, the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe. Beckman’s commercial work includes assignments for clients such as Dior, Kangol, Levi’s, Schott, and Shinola.
